No, I got 'em all cut

   People can be very odd.
   I got my hair cut yesterday. Exact same haircut as I've gotten every
   month for the past decade (including the gunking up of the finished
   product with styling wax, as if it were long enough to be disarranged
   even by a typhoon).
   You'd think I'd gotten cosmetic surgery. "Wow! Something's
   different...you look great!" said one of the giggly, flirty girls
   behind the counter at Dean & Deluca. She was politic enough to add, "I
   mean, even better than usual. Refreshed." A less politic friend last
   night gushed, "Don't you look butch tonight!" Her "I mean, more than
   usual" wasn't forthcoming for a good thirty seconds and several
   further sips of beer. I'm not averse to compliments by any means, but
   is it too much to ask that they not be so time-specific and be
   delivered without hammy astonishment?
