progIt's been nearly six months since my last haircut. People have started to notice. No less than three female friends have spontaneously offered compliments on my hair; I note this because it has historically been women who dictate the shape of my hair, and therefore this is a major reason why I haven't hit the barbershop.
I need to shave more often this way. It took me a while to get up to speed with this. With short hair I can let some stubble grow and look vaguely manlier, like that one Dr. House LJ icon you have. With longer hair and stubble, though, i look like some sort of dirty clown. Picture Ronald McDonald with three days of growth on. Hi kids.
Should I cut it back down to size before all these business meetings and mixers I have coming up? Probably I just think too much about these things.

rserocki looked up the correct gesture for using the magnifier in Trauma Center — you need to draw a "C" around the bit to magnify, not a circle, even though your dumb nurse tells you to draw a circle. I got through the operation pretty easily with that information.
Actually, I can't help but notice that your nurse isn't depicted as wearing a mask during surgery (even though the player-character is) and also you have to visually find and pick up all the tools yourself, instead of just holding your hand out and saying what you want like we've all seen 'em do on TV. Stupid nurse, spraying mouth-cooties into my patient and not handing me things!
However, I did figure out tonight that the protagonist's name, Dr. Stiles, is probably a play on "stylus". Clever. (And it spells "DS" too.)
