Real Kato Blog: Spot the One Difference

I mean, come on. It's noticeable, right? Then how come not a single one of my co-workers, who see me just about every single day, has said anything? I at least expected the women at the office to notice immediately, but nope.

I wanted to get a bolder style, and I think I got that. Granted, the change isn't that dramatic. But you know, whenever I get a haircut, someone invariably asks me, "Did you get a haircut?" (And I always reply, "I got 'em all cut.") So you'd think when I change other things, I'd get at least some kind of comment about it.

I like them! In college, a guy who I had known for 3 years and had several classes with suddenly looked at me and asked "When did you get glasses?" Uh, when I was 4.

Yeah... sorry about not noticing. I promise that next time you make a major life change I will do my best to comment loudly and excitedly.

Oh and one more thing (while I have the mic)

haircut
1 : the act or process of cutting and shaping the hair

I want to take this time to officially end the haircut/"hair cut" joke. It may have been funny the first time I heard it (September 1987), but I think it has finally run its course.

"Did you get a haircut?"

Correct answer:
"Why yes I did, thanks for noticing."
or
"Yes, do you like it?"

Incorrect:
"Yep... all of them"

Still acceptable:
"Yeah, but I think she cut it too thin"

What's that spot on the before glasses?

Bake Town, that would be a mole.

Tim, I'm still gonna use that "all of them" line. It's in the same vein of "Doctor, it hurts when I do this / Don't do that".

Oh, and Tim pointed out that these are mirror-image pictures of me. I took them on the built-in iSight on my MacBook. Of course, to me, a mirror image looks normal, but to people who know me, it looks backwards. So thanks, Tim, for at least noticing that.

In one picture you're wearing underwear, in the other you're not.

Oh, and for bonus points, it appears your glasses are different, too.

In the second picture you look happier.

Love the glasses!

Maybe tomorrow at work you should wear your circa 2000 glasses.

I love them. Kinda metrosexual - but that's the thing now...

In regards to "In the second picture you look happier," that's because that's the picture he's not wearing the underwear.
