Study, study, study!

I'm trying to learn more about photography. When I say learn, I mean starting from the basics. I don't know how to take a picture unless I'm in AUTO mode. Haha.

Do you know of a good website that teaches beginners like me? Preferably, it should be easy to understand yet comprehensive. I've already seen some good sites when I tried to search before, but if you have any other recommendations, that would be great!

I hope I don't get too lazy to study. Let this be a new, good hobby! I'm excited!

Haircut problems?

What do you usually do when you want to get a haircut? Do you already have that perfect cut envisioned even before you go to the salon? Or do you look at the magazines there and try to pick one that you think would look good on you? Or you could just ask them what would be the best cut for you.

When I get a cut, I keep it pretty simple, I tell them the length I want them to cut and if I want layers or not. Haha. That's the only type of cut I get every single time!
