Foode

Also, I have been making a point to eat breakfast! This is unusual for me. "Breakfast", for me, is traditionally a coffee and some sort of enormous doughy lumpus. Now I'm actually puttin away the eggs and cereal and such. (And keeping the coffee, of course.) This is great.

Should I go to the doctor for a checkup next month? I have heard disagreement about whether it's an annual or a biannual thing (at least in my age bracket). But it can't hurt, right?

Next month it'll have been a year since I was first given a proper diagnosis and treatment for those awful stomachaches. They've come back once or twice since then, but I can always make them go away by myself now. In retrospect I can't believe I lived under them in painful ignorance for as long as I did.

The Mouth of Sauron

I am experimenting with a goatee. Which is to say that I just now estimated the masking area of a goatee, and then etched out this shape into my shaving cream. I now look conspicuously like I'm trying to definitely trying to get beardy again instead of being merely lazy.

I like it for the novelty, but I had forgotten that I don't grow hair at all directly on either side of my mouth (see userpic from circa 2004), so it's actually a two-piece jobbie. Three, actually, if you count the tuft under my lips, making the whole structure resemble a red and lidless eye. Made of hair. With a mouth in it.

Eh, maybe this won't work.
