De-mystification, Haircut Economics, and Monopoly

It's 2:30 in the morning and the coffee still hasn't worn off...

Thursday
Chem lecture in the morning...
ConWest in the afternoon...
Haircut in between...
First I went to the place right next to my dorm...some fashion/trendy/hair salon place, basically a place that I'd never normally go to...
I was drawn in by the sign on the outside that said "men's haircuts, students get a discount"...
I walked out of the place 15 seconds later...pfft...25 dollars for a haircut...I don't care how great of a haircut it is...I'm never paying that much for a haircut...
Asked around and found a barber shop on Astor Place...
Marco the barber, he's a good man...

Mystery concert...the mystery band(s) were The Fiery Furnaces and The Shins...
Went to the concert with Eddie...
We got to Coles about a half hour early and still there was a line halfway down the block...
Die-hard Shins fans...
Waiting in line, then it started to rain....hard...
Everyone soaked, they let us in a little early...
No pictures...my camera battery died... :(
The Furnaces were pretty good...they reminded me of the White Stripes meets Rush...
What amazes me is that they played a 45-minute set, straight through, no breaks, no time for applause until the end...
They played a medley, songs effortlessly blending past each other...beginning and ending with the same song...The Shins were awesome...they played some acoustic songs and a never-before-heard new song...

Friday
Chem recitation was alright...
The TA was cool, he let us leave early after the quiz...yeah, first quiz of the year...it was on the syllabus, an open-syllabus quiz...

After that I took a walk up to Union Square...
Just contemplating...

Played Monopoly with the roommates...
Yeah, good game...it's one of those games that can go on for days...
We play a "bootleg" version...where if you land on "free parking" you get all the money placed in the middle of the board...

2 papers and lots of reading to do...

One more thing...Dave Solomon must be left alone...it's funny as hell to mess around with him, just don't take things too far...lmao

"Karma police, arrest this girl
her Hitler hairdo, is making me feel ill..."
Radiohead, "Karma Police"
