150: Free! (and 150 posts!)

Here's a photo of my mouse, which I had to re-print yesterday because I crunched it on accident. It does now match my desk pad really well though, so I'm happy with it.

The title of this one is in reference to the fact that I just shaved! I am writing this at 12:30 AM on December 1st, even though this is technically the post for November 30th (and I will be retro-dating this post).

I was going to take a before-after photo, because my no-shave-november was arguably a success; I looked a little homeless, but my facial hair grows fast, and it didn't look terrible.

Upon further inspection, it was a mess; my hair can't decide what color it is, so there was brown, blonde, black, and even some red, seemingly randomly organized. The facial hair also didn't want to move a uniform direction, which could probably be remedied by grooming better, but the whole challenge of no shave november is that there is no grooming done.

I'm going to shave again in the morning, because I'm sure I missed some, and my face is angry with me at the moment.

But I do still have class at 8 AM tomorrow; my phone informed me that my alarm is set for 6 hours and 30 minutes (and counting) from now, so it's going to be a little rough, but that's what the stash of Monsters is for!
