Trying Something New 2

So, much like last time, this involves me trying new booze, new food, and something new with my appearance.

New Thing #1: Old Fashioned
Now, as I said before, I'm a beer drinker, and when I drink fancy, I drink whiskey. Typically I mix with whatever soda is available and enjoy. However, last night at Eastern Standard for a friend's birthday celebration, I tried an Old Fashioned. Definitely recommend trying one if you're a fan of the whiskey and are looking for something to try that's a little sweeter than usual.

New Thing #2: Marrow
No, I didn't require a transplant nor did I give a donation (I have issues with donating blood ffs). One of the appetizer options last night was Roasted Bone Marrow and I figured, Eh, what the heck? Basically, they bring you three sections of bone that have been roasted and seasoned, a little spoon, and some bread to shmear it on. Didn't really have much of a flavor too it, but it might have been overwhelmed by the bread. * shrug *

New Thing #3: Knockouts
So, those of you that have seen the pictures from Halloween (or have seen me in the last month) know that I had let my hair grow since August in order for it to be long enough for the Captain Hammer costume. Well, with Thanksgiving upon us, and my mother's wrath if I didn't, I went and got a haircut. Normally I go to Louie's on Comm Ave. Nice place, if you get in early enough, you've got a minimal wait (unless you want Louie specifically). But, I figured, eh, let's try some place new.

Knockouts in Framingham is some guy thinking "You know, I want to go to Hooters, but I really need to get a haircut. I wish I could combine them..." Their basic package, the Heavyweight, runs about $32 plus tip. With this you get, a consultation (basically the "So, what are we doing today?) a shampoo, cut, neck shave if you need it, and then a 5 minute scalp massage with a hot towel resting on your face.

After I walked out, I called my Darling Girlfriend and told her I was leaving her for Alyssa, my new stylist. Naturally I was kidding, but guys, I HIGHLY recommend trying this place at least once. Ladies, a gift certificate to this place would make a great stocking stuffer, or a great present for the 3 hour treatment for $92.
