her firm grip For the past five years, I have been using the same local chain hair cutting place here in town and during that time all of the women who work there have cut my hair multiple times each. Now maybe because I am a guy, the fact that not the same person cuts my hair every time that I decide that it needs to be trimmed doesn't bother me. I will admit that there is one woman I prefer a little more than the others, but I don't feel the need to make a special request just for her. Many times it just works out that she is the one who cuts my hair. Today, however, I had someone new cut my hair and she caught me off guard. This new girl and I would call her more of a girl because of her size and age (she probably stands at about five feet two inches and looks as though she just graduated from high school less than three years ago) had a hidden strength in her that didn't become apparent until she grabbed the trimmer. As I said, her frame did not speak of any massive power so her commanding grip on my head was all that more surprising. She wasn't about to let me turn my head as she guided the humming machine along the back of my scalp. I almost felt as though I were a sheep being sheered. Personally I found the whole situation to be a little silly and was stifling a laugh the entire time that I was in the chair. She did a nice job with my hair. I just wasn't expecting to be handled as roughly as I was by her almost delicate figure. ... Marvel Comics is starting to sway my opinion of them. Most of their line holds no interest for me, but I decided to give the title the Young Avengers a chance and I liked what I read. Sadly the book has been out for close to a year so now I am trying to decide if I want to purchase all of the back issues to see what I missed. Looking at the online auctions, I quickly found out that I am not the only person who feels this way. This is a very hot book and I might have to pay for my former lack of interest. Another Marvel title that might work its way onto my monthly reading list is Peter David's X-Factor. As a rule I try to avoid any mutant books, but Peter has a way of telling a story that seldom disappoints me. Issue five truly disturbed me and I mean that in a positive sense. |
