Praise jeebus, is he writing again?
Well, someone's got to hold it down for friday afternoon because no one else fcking does.

Anyway, I forgot to mention that I'm growing out my sideburns again. Sort of. It started as an experiement of how much hair I'd have on my face after a specific amount of time. Wait, no, it started as lazyness in shaving. THEN it became an experiment. Then I was lazy again even though I knew I looked scruffy and bad. Then yesterday I shaved in honor of dinner with Myles's family (not that they'd really care, but it was a convenient excuse) and I decided to leave some sideburns. I like how they look from the front -- elongating my face and such. But looking at them from profile, well...they're a little sparse. Not as sparse as they were a year ago or so when I first grew them out. But then again, it's only been 2 weeks. So I will give it a bit more time. I'm also planning on cutting off lots of hair this weekend with the clippers, so that might help -- having the hair on my head being the same denseness of the hair on my face.

I have a little test in my head for facial hair adequacy -- it has to look decent (i.e. noticeable) in the bathroom mirror without my glasses, and it has to also be noticeable in glass window reflections. Yes, that may seem odd, but it works. When I first attempted a goatee it was way too early in the process. I notice the small patch under my chin when I got out of the shower, but when I caught my reflection in car, I couldn't see anything. My face ends up just looking sorta dirty. Which means shave.

So now I'm in a tad of a quandry, because my current sideburns pass both of my tests, but just barely. That's the update for now. We'll see how things progress in another two weeks and they've possibly filled in some.
