Mr. Sith Goes to Coruscant

Today after work, I got a haircut. I rarely like the way I look right after I get my hair cut. The thing is, it looks fine as soon as they finish, but I start to think less of it once I get back home. I guess this particular one isn't bad, but no one I know except my mom has seen it yet. I wish I were better at describing what I want my hair to look like, but I really don't even know for sure. The best description for a haircut I would want is "shorter, but not stupid-looking." That's kind of vague, though, isn't it? A lot of the time, barbers will give me little boys' haircuts. Really, I sometimes get the idea that hairdressers think I'm younger than I am. Or maybe they're just used to dealing with kids. I sort of got the impression that my hairdresser today was telling me to put my head down and up in the way that some people talk to kids, but maybe that was just my imagination.

Later in the afternoon, I went to the movies to see Revenge of the Sith. Before the movie, that dumb "The 2wenty" thing that they have on in Regal theaters had an advertisement for the new season of The Biggest Loser, which they tried to pass off as "inspirational" or some shit. Yeah, a show that encourages people to go on unhealthy crash diets is an inspiration to us all! On the bright side of the pre-movie crap, there were some interesting previews. I'm definitely going to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe when it comes out (I loved the Narnia books when I was young), and I'll probably see that Fantastic Four movie, too. I'm also kind of interested in seeing Batman Begins, although I didn't see a trailer for that. I've never been into comic books, yet I like to watch movies based on them. I'm not sure why.

( And now for the movie itself. )

Not too far into the movie, there was a power failure at the theater, and it took them a few minutes to get it restarted. I don't think I missed anything, but it was the first time I'd ever been in a movie theater when anything like that happened.

Finally, on a semi-related note, I often find myself giving automatic answers to questions service people ask, especially "you, too" in reply to a pleasantry. There have been a few times when I went to the movies, and replied to "Enjoy the show!" with "You, too," which, of course, really doesn't make any sense. Fortunately, I stopped myself from doing that today.

Worth a thousand words
