The V

TAW got her spouse visa, meaning she can keep her current job, meaning we can sign the lease on the place we were looking at and (finally!) move out of my dad's house. Plus when we got home there was a V:CD in the letterbox!

Today is the third consecutive workday that I've gotten approval to work from home, because of the approx. three feet of snow outside. We're expecting 10 to 20 more inches today and tomorrow, so I might get several more days of the same deal.

As a result, I currently have more facial hair than I've ever had before, and even the normally patchy parts are starting to come in.

Do you look anything like as ridiculous as this?

Nah, my facial hair still comes in at the pace of a 14 year old, so I'm a long ways away from anything as majestic as that.

That's the second time in two days I have been described as "majestic". I think we have a quorum.

Doug's decided to go celibate and he's preemptively chasing any possible suitors away?

Dude, I apreciate what you are triying to do there, but YOU ARE NOT SAM ELLIOTT.

ANOTHER beard fetishist has just friended me on Flickr.

Is he stacked?

Saruman?

I share your pain. I can leave mine to grow for months and it still looks like Tomy's My First Facial Hair. It's embarrassing.

I was pleasantly surprised when I had to grow one late last year (I had bad scabbing on my jaw when I took my moronic drunken tumble), having never previously been able to grow any stubble of note. It was remarkably patch free.

However, Doug's beard is awesome.

Preach it, brother.

Oh, superb - thanks for that.. I've been looking for copies of some of those 94/95 ones for years.

Not beardy at all, but boy what a moustache.

New bus on my route with comfy side seat and WiFi.

Hello! I am posting from the freeway! Hello! Now I am on a bridge! Ho ho!

Can you please spend a week posting Little Nemo stylee?

Oh! The bus journey was only a dream, and he shouldn't have eaten all those peanuts. Um!

Hooray!

The pub.

At half ten?

I am considering it but no, not till later. You allowed out for tonight?

Hahahaha, no. Valentines weekend and all that.

Amusing story:

This past Saturday I went to my sister's birthday party. Anyway she introduces me to this dude she keeps calling Bolton. When I ask her what the deal is, and she says she's "sort of" been seeing him, but isn't really sure about the whole thing and doesn't fully want to admit they're dating. When I ask her why, she says one big reason is because his name was Michael Bolton (shockingly, I had not picked up on this to this point).

Well as you can imagine when I finally stopped laughing the following morning, she basically had to beg me not to call him a No Talent Ass Clown, because that was the FIRST THING she ever to said to him when they were introduced, and he wouldn't speak to her for like 3 months after that. So I promised not to.

HOWEVER, I could not resist a "How can You be lovers if You Can't Be Friends?" I mean, I'm Not Made of Steel, right?
