Still waiting

What the fuck. I am always getting compliments on my hair. Today Mr. Florida told me I looked like an actress, Maggie Gyllenhaal, except prettier. I said, "Oh stop, it's just the coat!" I thought he was gay on the phone, and I was wearing a really cute Kelly green poly trench with clean classic lines and yellow buttons. I haven't had a haircut in four months and sometimes my hair really gets whacked out, but it still manages to look pretty foxy most of the time. That is because of my hairdresser. I feel that she realized the potential waiting under that hair curtain all these years and always makes me feel cool enough to live in my neighborhood. And maybe even go to other ones. Like the Meatpacking District. Now I just need some new clothes or maybe better taste. Anyway, I have been wanting to get a haircut, partly because it is time (4-5 months between cuts is just right) and partly because I have the money in the bank and I want to give it to her while I still have it. The problem is that she is so super hard to get in touch with. Her email is defunct and she never returns my calls (I have to leave highly funny and flattering, specially-crafted voicemails; sometimes I bring in a writer.) I once sent her a postcard. I think I may be on the verge of doing that again. It isn't that she's a big snob or some kind of pretentious jerk. She just sucks at returning calls and is busy and travels for work. I genuinely believe she likes it when we hang out (one hour every four-five months) but can't handle more. But I just want to get my freaking hair cut.

I tried and tried to find an apartment for Mr. Florida who does seem ready to sign, but I just don't have the inventory for him. I know what buildings he should be in but there isn't anything there. Our interaction went better than I thought and maybe I impressed him with the shitty apartment and winning smile I showed him. Doubt it.

I keep thinking I am getting cracked out by the Dayquil I took today, but no such luck. I am still waiting for the effects, any effects, to kick in. I think I'll be waiting a while.
