Had a crusty in my eye the entire Tai Chi class, and no one told me! Either my class­mates didn’t notice or were too embarassed for me.

It’s SO great to work with a cou­ple who appre­ci­ates art…enough to be will­ing to get naked for it.

You know you have a happy cat when she sleeps next to your head and you can’t hear your music over the sound of her purr.

John just wished me “sweet dreams” as we got off the phone. It was vaguely homo-erotic.

Wow, I thought com­pletely self-serving com­ments died with the blog­ging explo­sion of 2003.

I’m con­flicted about the Mac word-of-the-day screen­saver. I hate the visual style, but it’s such an invalu­able resource for new words.

I can’t think of any­thing more relax­ing than shov­el­ing snow on a mild winter’s night. (As opposed to being in a rush right before work)

Hmmm. 4 gigs of page outs to a swap file. Methinks my Mac Pro could use some more RAM. Definitely buy­ing 16 gigs soon.

29 1/12: The Adolescent

A lit­tle while ago, I stopped shav­ing. I had the flu for about five days, and already had a five-day shadow devel­oped when that began. Then with a lack of social engage­ments, I decided to let it keep grow­ing, lest I lose such a gen­er­ous head start that only began because I was too lazy when I was sick.

I took this pic­ture, and it was more than three weeks with­out touch­ing a razor at that point.

Aaron always keeps a neatly trimmed beard, so I asked him how he takes care of it; which direc­tion to shave, what length to start trim­ming, etc. It was strange to be seek­ing shav­ing advice from some­one at this point in my life. Most of the hair is around the mouth and on chin, with only an embar­rass­ing half-dozen wires sprout­ing ran­domly from my cheeks, so it required a touch of maintenance.

For a long time, I didn’t know what to think of it, whether I liked it or not. Aaron said to me, “Sometimes, you don’t need to know”, and I went with that for a while. Maybe time would give me an answer.

Soon after, I started shav­ing again. It wasn’t get­ting any thicker, and I didn’t think I could pull it off.

I turn 30 in 11 months, and I still can’t grow a beard.

Petty” is def­i­nitely the right word.
