    Getting a haircut

    Getting a haircut

    i really don't like getting my hair cut, it's like going to the dentist for me. it's the physical rather than the social stuff that i find most difficult. In the uk we're still under covid restrictions and hairdressers are closed - haven't had it done since November.

    Does anyone else love Bret Easton Ellis novels?

    i really liked American Psycho and think about Patrick Bateman quite often. I read Less Than Zero but didn't love it, and Glamorama was pretty good, but odd. It's a long time since I read them, they haven't made me want to read all his books. There are always more things to read, but if i saw...
