Dread Update

First off, watching Coming to America on Bravo. LoL. Love this movie. I prolly shouldn't start of a post with a random thought but I just did. Wanna fight about it?

Anywho, went to a new salon on Wednesday. Was in Chesapeake so like 20-25 minutes with a lil morning traffic. I liked the environment. A lot friendlier than the last place. Got there, and my stylist was ready for me. She washed my hair for me and I would have to give her an A++ for the scalp massage she gave me. Oh-Em-Gee as Curry Chicken would say. Dude. It was something serious. And the shampoo made my scalp all tingly! If it wasn't for the ridiculous price she charged me, I prolly woulda given her a tip. But more on that later.

So anyway, the main thing that was different about this place was that they interlock/latch there. Meaning, that instead of getting a retwist, I got my hair interlocked. Its kinda hard to explain but basically she uses a crochet tool to make knots in my hair. To be completely honest, I'm a little nervous about how that is gonna affect my hair in the long run. The dreads' Godmomma, AKA the stylist who started my locs and has been hooking me up for the past 2 1/2 years, was not pleased. She says the interlocking will eventually make my dreads weaken and fall off. At the same time, a bunch of the stylists there had long locs that looked fine. So we'll see what happens. Not the best at planning for the future. Tend to think of the here and now. I'm not too worried about it. Lmao. Prolly should be tho. That's ok. My hair is strong. J. Pumpkinseed, CERTIFIED SUPERHERO. LoL. Anyway, the stylist was cool and I like how my hair looked afterwards. Definitely looked like the $85 she charged me. That's right! $85. She says that from here on out it'll only be $65 but still, I wish I could get all of that for $35-$45. It's a recession. Oh and another thing, my head was tight! Interlocking is not the most comfortable experience but it's supposed to last longer. Felt like I just got my hair braided. But I'll count this as a win. Black Butterflies in Chesapeake gets a thumbs up. Be prepared to put up some serious cash tho.

Randoms:

1) Went to Burger King on the way to work to grab a quick lunch. Waited in the drive thru line for but 15 mins. I was sooo hungry and could already taste the french fries. Ordered a Whopper Jr. meal only to find out that they were completely out of french fries. Had not one french fry in the entire store. How does that happen!!! The manager should be fired. So I had to get onion rings. I don't make this stuff up, man ...

2) My roomie, Sapphire, has had her car broken into twice in the last week. Once in our driveway, and again on campus. U know what that means right? It's only a matter of time before I get got. I'm gon be soooo pissed when that happens and expect there to be a blog about it.

3) We don't have the standard mailbox in my neighborhood. Our mailboxes are attached to the house, not out by the street. **I wish I had some cookies right now. Ooh. Or maybe a swiss cake roll. Yeah that would hit the spot right now. Lmao. Sorry.** There's no little flag to designate outgoing mail. So the mail carrier actually has to walk up to each house to check the mailboxes for mail. Well we noticed that our mail carrier hasn't been doing that and sometimes our outgoing mail would sit outside for maybe 2-3 days before being picked up. So Sapphire had to go to the post office to pick up a package and told one of the postal workers about the situation. Ur not gonna believe this. She was told that it is not their responsibility/duty to check our mailbox everyday for outgoing mail. They generally only do it when they have to deliver mail. What? I'm sorry but whatever happened to "Neither sleet, nor snow"? They'll deliver in sleet and snow but can't walk up to my house to check and see if I have mail? Isn't that your job? What is the world coming to? Postal workers won't even check my mailbox now. Ridiculous ...

That's it for now, but u know I'll prolly have something new for u in a couple days. Stay classy San Diego.
