Alright, going back to Westside starting the 31st. Spent a good amount of time the past couple of weeks sitting around ingesting cake and vodka, and that will not do.

Also doing some HARD ponderin’ on shearing the mane. Yes, it’s thin(ning?), but if it’s freshly washed, it’s not noticeable. And it looks cool, for now at least. Goddamn it. I’d be happy if it would just go ahead and fall the fuck out instead of this intermediate bullshit. I’ve got (almost) no problem with a skullet – looks more orc or Klingon-like.

Spontaneous ingrown beard hairs can be fucking terrifying for the mild hypochondriac.

I hope that’s all it is, at least.

No pics, sorry. :P

1) Formatted, re-installed Windows, etc., blah blah blah… But I can’t seem to set up a static IP this time around, and it’s angering me greatly. I don’t want to have to call Windstream for assistance if I don’t absolutely have to.

2) Applied for a job at a local radio station today, but they wanted people with experience only. The receptionist chick was accommodating and seemingly helpful, however, saying that if anything turned up, she would tell me about it. Extremities are crossed.

Sleeping Monday night was difficult, thanks to my legs aching no matter what position I put them in, but it’s simply painful to walk, and not dangerous, so things are rolling along quite nicely.

In other news…

Behold, my dad’s unfamiliarity with cameras and light sources! :o

Full squats:
225 lbs. (102 kg) 5 x 5

Single-leg leg press:
180 lbs. (82 kg) 5 x 5

Bodyweight squats:
I have no idea how many I did, simply sets of 10 for the remainder of the session.

Comments: Same as last squat workout, except I may have actually injured myself this time by not warming up properly. It remains to be seen if I can get out of bed tomorrow.

Posted elsewhere; allow me to bitch/whine here, too:

What sort of cruel fate, after allowing a man to realise that he looks good (or better, at least) with long hair and identify with having long hair, makes him start losing it?

Fuck you, nature.
