Hmm. Sounds like the Fluevogs might work on my feet. But I don't need an expensive habit. I may just stick to ballet flats forever.
I'll see if I can work in a question about John Barrowman next time I see her. I need to not hear bad things about him. One of the other guys at the table would keep bringing up celebrities, and if he said something nice about someone, it was someone she knew and hated, and if he was talking trash, it as about a friend of hers. It was hysterical.
Tsutomu Yamaguchi died a few days ago. He was the only person the Japanese government officially acknowledged as having lived through the bombings at both Hiroshima
and
Nagasaki. He lived to 93.
My feet really are freakishly pointy.
Oh, Jesse, I think that's a laura lippman book.
My style of foot is A Mess.
Oh, Jesse, I think that's a laura lippman book.
That is likely! And thank you!
I am a homeowner: it's 11:30 at night, I just discovered a leaky window so I caulked it. I'm not sure whether to be jubilant or weirded out.
Jesus. I'd love to wimp out and not cut my own hair this time round, but I'll be damned if I know how to find a black barber. Google sends me to some crap dead end websites. Back in the day I owned the domain name blackhairjoints.com with the idea of consolidating that information, but I never got it off the ground.
I can find one place, and it's not that nearby. There has to be somewhere vaguely local.
Wouldn't Yelp be of use in finding a black barber?
I am guessing you could find some old ones down by the train station downtown. (I bet my cohort, Kim, would know.)
I can steer you to some good ones in SF.
I'll give you the advice I got my from ex with curly hair on how to find a curly hair specialist: "Find somebody with hair like yours that has a decent haircut and ask them where they get it done."
Yelp's search for "black barber" or "african american barber" gets really random results that don't have icons of black men next to the testimonials. They sound like random white barbers.
If it's not nearby I might as well cut my own hair. Downtown isn't near. And I don't know any black men in my neighbourhood.

Mmm. That might work, thanks. If I haven't snapped and shaved myself by this weekend, and the headache's not too bad, I'll consider it.
Why aren't there more black people in Santa Monica? The Yelp results made it look like there were hits in Culver City which would have rocked. But those reviews didn't look ethnic enough.
