majorly cut

I got my hair majorly cut in preparation for “the interview.”
It is once again, a cute bob: but a very short, very trendy, Coupe Bizzarre, Queen Street bob.
I’m aware Robin Black used to (still does?) work there, and yes I went there any-ways.
I was very specific about there being absolutely no asymmetry though. I can not handle sweepy, in my eyes, “emo hair.” That would just be going too far.
And then I would have to get a MySpace.
And I already have a LiveJournal.
Actually, it’s kind of Sassoony. Which I don’t mind at all.
I seriously just went to the place because it was 2 blocks away.

I am having a hard time finding the ideal place to sit and drink warm, non-alcoholic beverages.
My biggest beef is that everything independant closes early, like around dinnertime. I must be weird, because I like going to have a tea and a brownie at prime time. Why is that so weird cafe owners of Toronto?
Alternative Grounds has the bestest, bestest coffee - but looks like it was decorated in a single fell swoop of a nearby value village.
I am all for vintage, but it just feels a little too… hippy? Grimey? Grungey? Hmmm, actually alternative is a pretty good way to describe it.
Then there is the polar oposite: Balzac’s in the Distillery district.
It’s a beautiful space, with a good selection of yummy pastries, but has horridly strong coffee (that literally makes me sick) and is filled with entitled old geezers (who had just got out from a production of Our Town and tried to steal our drinks).
Not cool.
Admittedly, they both beat going to Starbucks (St. Catharines only decent coffee option, and more specifically, the place that employed me for 6 miserable months).
