RIP: The Beard

[brocade_city]

So, since I'm moving to DC on Saturday (I'm going to be teaching Japanese to middle-school-aged kids, by the way), I had to get a professional-looking haircut and shave off the beard. My first priority, once I'm confirmed that I can pay my way with the japanese gig, alone, is to regrow it (and thereby look like less of a jerk). Here is my beard, at full length:

Here is me, now:



I feel naked. I lost a lot of head-fat since the last time I was shaved, I think, 'cause I look all pinheady.
