drewbearI somehow lost my checkbook. I think it's still in the apartment, but I'm going nuts trying to find it! This is especially annoying since I have bills that need to be paid and mailed out by Tuesday at the latest.
I believe that the problem under my mustache was just a spot of heat rash, as it's clearing up very quickly. I'm going to keep it clean-shaven for another week to be on the safe side, then I'll start growing out my mustache again. However, it seems that everybody thinks I look better without the mustache but retaining the full chin part of the goatee. It's a little annoying because it seemes like the first thing out of everyone's mouth when they see me is "Oh, that looks so much better on you!" Am *I* the only one who liked the full goatee?! grrrrr....
Speaking of hair, I got a haircut today and the barber (barbress? is that the feminine form?) trimmed my sideburns down with an electric trimmer before I realized what she was doing. But she made up for it by "edging" them such that they look really cool. I think I'll take a picture of my new look and let you see for yourselves...
And now for a meme and some rambling. LJ-cut for his pleasure!
The weird/neat thing is that I tried out all the elements with the above quote, and I got the Tengu for 5 of them. I guess it's meant to be, huh?
A while back I made a post about made up words. Well, last week Kevin gave me a list which I am faithfully reproducing below:
