Get it together like your big brother Bob

It was time for a dramatic makeover. I’ve had long hair for about seven years; the look had run its course, and the hair was starting to thin out a bit too much anyways. The biggest fear: reaching 35 with some awful haircut, like the Japanese peasant look (long hair, but totally bald on the front of the scalp).

There’s no easy transition from long hair, though. It had spent too much time in one position to act natural, and I had no idea how a normal haircut would look. So, I took the dramatic approach – break out the clippers and give it a #2 all around.

I like the new look much better. Now to experiment a bit…

Musical Bumps

On Labour Day, I went on a little hike up at Whistler with my housemates. The route was called the Musical Bumps, since it crosses several music-themed peaks: from Whistler Mountain over Flute Peak and Oboe Peak, to Singing Pass and Melody Creek. Cheesy? Yes. But that’s Southwest B.C. naming for you: we’ve got Unnecessary Mountain, Gin Lake and Tonic Lake, False Creek, Tetrahedron Park, and Point No Point.

I’ve got a set of photographs up at Flickr if you’re interested. Eric also has a few. I’m not abandoning my old photo system, but I think I’ll leave it mostly as an archive, with Flickr as my public photo page… for now.
