Less Hairy

[prog]

I let Carla give me a much-needed buzz-cut. I saved $10, but at what cost? I'll give her the benefit of the doubt and speculate that professional barbers have better equipment, along with more experience at facing super-thick shrubberies such as those that adorn my noggin. The bathroom atmosphere quickly filled with aerosolized hair as Carla hacked and hewed, grumbling about the ineffective clippers and occasionally catching on something that made me say "ow".

The finished result was pretty decent! And then we had to take showers and change our clothes and I vacuumed the whole bathroom. Hectic.

Later, inspired by magid, I set my beard trimmer on "1" for the first time, and now I really do have Faramir's beard. Ha!

Probably pretty soon. We seem to stumble over each other often enough. :) (Though I may be entering another period of social lockdown due to Book... we'll see...)

I am less enchanted with my hair now... the sides could have been a little shorter. Maybe I feel this way only because at dinner last night Carla was staring with doleful self-critique at my hair while I ate the spinach. However, it will be a highly fashionable length for the cons in a couple of weeks, so that's cool.

I regret not taking any photos of my brother Ricky this most recent time in Maine. He went to a hair stylist who turned his Survivalist Brother Who Lives In Maine hairdo into this Highly Attractive Middle-Aged Movie Star thing. You'd think he was someone else until he opened his mouth. Everyone talked about it. It was wacky. Maybe next time.

i object to being stumbled over!

perhaps carla was staring dolefully at the spinach?

Well, then she said "I'm less satisfied with how I did your hair", so maybe she had sculpted some spinach into it while I wasn't looking, as a sort of natural highlight thing, so yeah maybe.
