Beard Log: Day 12

Monday, December 29th, 2008

Sara cut off the little curly long bit from my chin so its all even now.

My copy of Dracula has a misprinted spine. It says, printed in fancy gold leaf, “PRIDE AND PREJUDICE • JANE AUSTIN.” When I bought the book it had a dust jacket that stated Dracula on the side. The book is definitely Dracula. Unless I was reading the wrong version of Pride and Prejudice where they didn’t eat babies and spiders. I wonder if the guy responsible for the press that day was fired.

Beard Log: Day 1

Wednesday, December 17th, 2008

Beard Log. Blog. Get it. Haha. I’ll be growing my beard out as far as I can in the next year. This is something that I have attempted in the past and had varied levels of success. My goal is at least nipple length, a new record. More importantly is Amazing Larry – my dear friend and loyal moustache. He’s on the rebound and heading for a strong recovery. In a few weeks there will be curls and wax and handlebars abound. I should post a photo journal to accurately track my rate of growth. Got to quantify this stuff with proof.

Dracula had a moustache by the way. After reading 100 pages into my little pocket classics version that is the best thing so far. The second best thing is imagining someone trying to sell Dracula some London real estate and going over papers with him and all that malarkey. How silly can you get? Hopefully I can get through this book before new years. Still have about 900 pages of Sherlock Holmes to get through and at least half of Lovecraft’s major works to get through. From there, who knows? Maybe I’ll finally read Moby Dick. Might have to get a larger print version of it from the library though, the print in these pocket versions is too small and makes my eyes tired after only a half an hour or so. Never going to finish reading anything if I fall asleep all the time.
