Got a haircut today, finally got rid of that mop I had to hide under a hat for the last couple weeks. I had a five dollar coupon but when I went to pay for the hair cut they only charged me 6$, I would have felt bad if I used the coupon. I saved it for another day when they choose to charge me a non-buzz fee. Its very strange, HeadKuarters sometimes charges me the buzz price (6$) for a cut and sometimes the cut price (13$) for a cut, but I always get the same cut.

Wore four different outfits today, FOUR! One for classes, one at the pac, then I got home and showered (washed out the haircut) and changed into another one, I'll be heading out to Reid's party in a bit in some other clothes too. If you count my sleeping clothes, thats five outfit! Ridiculous.

Oh ya, theres war now!
I think its pretty ridiculous how every little thing that goes on in the war is televised, its so different from how I'm used to thinkin about war. I realize that not everything is revealed to the public, but I think that its strange that Iraq also sees the same news broadcasts as the U.S. (and we) do. I'll bet you that Saddam is finding out more about whats going on through CNN than through his own reconnaicance. Iraq loses an airfield, CNN knows and reports how many troops were involved, what type of equipment was used, how long it took them, etc. Saddam probably had no access to any of that information! I'm sure knowing all this doesn't help him any but I just think thats its pretty strange. Its like removing the "fog of war" (only gamers know what I mean with that one). Things don't look good for Iraq though, their soldiers are surrendering and the capital is under constant bombing. How can Bush take this war so seriously and so solemnly? There was no doubt going in that Iraq would utterly lose. They're pretty much helpless, trying to make it seem otherwise seems really trite to me. Does anyone think that Saddam has an ace up his sleeve?

Yay for haircuts! I got mine done on Wednesday because, like you, I was tired of the small furry animal sitting atop my head.

As for Saddam having an ace up his sleeve, I've wondered this myself. All he would need is one guy, ONE guy with the skills of Bruce Willis (the Unkillable) to hijack a nuclear sub with a single nuclear warhead. Then threaten to shoot it off. I mean, the US has it's chain of information - they'll notice a nuclear sub gone missing. That'll give them pause.

Then, to proove a point, they'll just shoot it off and kill something like Toronto. Someone totally (so far) neutral. That'll show the US who has resolve in this war.

They sorta did that by shooting at Kuwaiit. It would be pretty funny if they started shooting at everyone except the U.S. crazies.
