In keeping with Laura’s claim that my site is just one big product review, here are some product reviews.<\/p>\n

I got the worst haircut of my life at Willie’s barbershop<\/a> on Saturday. When you see me next, please don’t think I -wanted- a buzz cut with a tuft on top. My review on Yelp.com reads<\/p>\n

2 stars of 5. If your a guy and want a buzz cut, this is your place for a fine $12 cut. If you ask for anything else… well, you’re getting fine $12 buzz cut. Don’t be fooled by the men’s classic hair style charts on the wall to the left. Instead look at the photos to the right of the guys that have gotten crew cuts, cue balls, peach fuzz and their favorite sports team logos scrawled onto their heads.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I put a dollar in the dryer at the laundromat. 30 minutes later, I realized that the heat was broken on the machine. :-(<\/p>\n

Paid $22 for “The Works” car wash at Auto City Car Wash. I posted to Yelp.com<\/a> <\/p>\n

3 stars out of 5. I got the $22 “Works” package. I wasn’t totally happy with it. They missed a few spots… corners of the mirrors, the bugs on the grill and hood, some spots around the rear bumper. They advertise that they are “brushless”. That’s because they don’t do much besides run a power washer over it, then a few seconds of hand sponging, then mechanically spray soap, then a rinse. After washing and mechanical Works package waxing, all of the body panels feel very slightly rough; a washed and waxed car should feel smooth. That roughness is sure to catch dust and dirt faster than a smooth surface.<\/p>\n

After washing, I noticed a couple several scratches that I don’t recall the car having before. Though to be fair, washing may have just uncovered some scratches that had been there for a while.<\/p>\n

If you buy 10 washes up front ($220), you get what amounts to about a 15% discount.\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
