Hey, Thanks for the support! What's a good blog frequency? A better question might be, what's boring? Matters of opinion. First off, I missed tonight's episode, Needles in a Haystack? Had to work late. I'm a graphic designer and prepress operator at a newspaper. About once a month or so, we have to work late on Tuesdays. And my mood gets dark. I look at my watch, and wonder what House is doing, what's the POTW, grrrr... so that was my day. But back to the whiskers. House has this condition, that has afflicted many leading men over the years. They never have a real beard, yet they're never clean shaven. Do they devote days to where they shave, then live as shut-ins till their stubble grows out? Or are these just baby face days of their lives that we never see, like you never see anyone go to the bathroom to relieve themselves? I personally have a problem with facial hair. Not aesthetically, beards are great. But I have a problem with hair growing right around my mouth, too close to my lips. It just bugs me. So I kind of do a tiny shave, and clip the mustache hairs in reach of my tongue. That's how you can tell if someone has a problem with their facial hair. They'll rub their beard and stare off into space, like they're in deep thought, or they'll run their tongue around the sides of their mouth, and look like some kind of pervert. If they do both at the same time, they just look demented. Believe me, I know. But this new year, 2007, I made a resolution I knew I could keep. If the past 20 years are any indication, I'd never take off 20 pounds or single handedly change the world. So I decided to grow a beard. How can you screw that up? It's growing pretty good, except the whole bottom half is silver. I sincerely believe it's silver, rather than gray. So it's a two tone deal; it's grown out enough to scare small children. Especially when I'm rubbing it and licking my lips. It probably wouldn't be such a problem if I didn't have a big mouth. Hopefully I can catch next week's episode. And shave by then.
