Superhero Makeover
R. Alex Whitlock
As I briefly mentioned a week or so back, I shaved my beartee off for a couple reasons.
And now, over the weekend, I spent a little too much time in the sun with incomplete sunscreen application.
As a result, the sun most generously donated to me a blistering sunburn just under my hairline.
When it started blistering last night I came to the conclusion that this was not going to fix itself in the next couple of days.
So rather than having the weird burn marks I've started combing my hair forward instead of back.
So two weeks ago I had my beartee and a back/up haircut, whereas now I have something almost resembling a "bowl cut."
I've gone from an Oliver Queen look to a Guy Gardner look.
Which is fine, as long as long as it's former Green Lantern Guy Gardner and not retired astronaut Guy Gardner.
My head is totally unsuitable for baldness and I can say from a brief two hours experience that my face was not made for a moustache.
Observations
Pictures! Pictures!
Ohhhh, I'm not so sure about immortalizing this :)
Here you go, Alex. Don't forget to include the instructions in the post.
1) Your blog was one of the first I ever read. When did you begin blogging, and why?
2) When I read your columns in The Daily Cougar, I remember remarking to law school peers about how one-sided and narrow the perspective reflected therein was.
Five years later, I now tend to think you're one of the more open-minded and balanced bloggers (people?) I 'know.' (Though I should mention that I think some measure of closed-mindedness is a relatively inescapable facet of the human condition -- we believe what we want to, to some extent).
What do you think this says about the columns you wrote, or my own predilections then vs. now, or your own predilections then vs. now?
3) The life of man is nasty, brutish, and short. Discuss.
4) What, if anything, do you miss most about Texas?
5) Why do you like anime/manga so much?

Comment spam is an ongoing problems that we're trying to address. Previously we required people to create accounts and log in. I am thankful to say that is no longer the case. We're giving Captcha another try and are playing around with a text-based Q&A variant of Captcha. So bear with us as we try to figure out how to best get a handle ont he problem. Please note that any comment on a post more than 30 days old will go into the moderation queue, where I will get to it when I can which could be once a week.
