I have recently decided to quit "cheaping out" on myself; opting for a "real" salon instead of Great Clips, indulgent smelly shampoo, web enabled cellphone....
Tonight I found myself all dressed up with nowhere to go, or at least no one to go there with. I have almost no food in the house, so I was thinking I could just run out to Taco Bell or something and grab myself a quick bite. Instead I decided to treat myself to a 'dining experience' and headed out to a Glendale club. I got the impression they thought I was a secret shopper or a critic or somethin' since I was alone and very inquisitive. That gave me an idea to do a review....
I registered a domain a couple of weeks ago to have a repository specific to my "Word of Mouth" reviews, but I haven't done much more with it. Now there is one post.
Since I haven't explained it there yet, I will remind you here: the Word of Mouth Scale refers to how many people in my little circle of friends and family I am likely to recommend something to, not necessarily how good I think it is. For instance, I thought both Wedding Crashers and The 40-year Old Virgin were good movies (hilarious, actually) but there are few people in my group I would recommend those to because the crass humor would be offensive to 80% of the circle.
So, there you have it. I am going to be spoiling myself a little more, I just got a great haircut and a cool phone, I started a new (mostly empty and unattractive at this point) blog, 80% of my friends/family are proper.
BTW: I may be interested in other contributers to offer a different perspective. i.e. Broken's circle of friends is much different than mine, so his WOM Scale would be quite different, as well.
