on the same night as that photo, i realized my hair was falling out in clumps! first hair loss i've had, i think, that i've noticed at least. i think it's stress. my plan is to keep growing the top out and make my hair into a greasy, inpenetrable fortress. the inside will be bare and rotten, but no one will be able to see over the lip of the volcano, let alone willing to put their hands down into that greasetrap and expose the helmetless-darth-vaderesque pale skin underneath. then i will be comfortable!

thank you. the shower last night was an important one. i've also been wearing a bandaid across my face for the last week. i need a new pair of glasses. my current glasses are in rebellion against their host, for good reason

I love this early '80s atmosphere, Karl. Are you smoking Winstons indoors and blowing the smoke into a macrame planter?

Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 December 2020 20:07 (three years ago) link

yeah, duh, I forgot I have an imgur account. Thanks.

thank you map, and it sounds sooooooo nice to be in moab right now! or a couple weeks ago, i guess! what were you doing there? you look like you're doing sound work?

Karl Malone, Monday, 14 December 2020 20:09 (three years ago) link

xp i don't smoke...

*breaks 4th wall*

cigarettes! ha! but yeah, now that you mention it, we are basically living in the early 80s, which happens to be when i was born. maybe it's comfortable to retreat to something that seems familiar but new (as in used). i just purchased a Nakamichi CR-2A cassette deck. fuck the world, i'm gonna make some tapes

After Photobucket turned extortionist, I'd post photos here (meaning all threads) using Tripod. (Please, don't make fun of me, it hurts my feelings.) That doesn't work anymore for reasons that puzzle me. I'll give Imgur a try.

you know alfred, if you want to make the book titles easier to read you could use a little modern technology to edit the image first! here ya go:

Alfred looks great! I'll admit to being curious about your choice in masks though.

Simple surgical masks. Simple masks for simple people.

Patriotic Goiter (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 14 December 2020 20:32 (three years ago) link

I must say, Alfred, that you become more handsome every year.

i think it's stress.

yeah after spending a very rough two weeks in the hospital this summer about a week after I came home and mentally settled into the idea of my life being radically different going forward my hair started just falling out like pine needles whenever I touched it. so I decided to buzz it down pretty short and when I looked in the mirror it was like "uh oh"

months later it hasn't fully come back, though it mostly has, but man! not what I needed at the time!

Clay, Monday, 14 December 2020 20:58 (three years ago) link

After chemo and radiation, when my hair thinned but never went totally away, it all came back thicker, which I don't mind on my head....but jesus, eeverywhere else, too?

Thanks, gents. Pandemic's got me walking like Wordsworth in the Lake District.

This is TMI but I started losing hair to stress when I was 15 and that is primarily why I have short hair now!
It's very real, don't let anyone gaslight you into thinking you are imagining it like they did to me.

This was a few months back, when you could go out with a shirt flapping open in the breeze... when you could go out at all, in fact. A park in Orpington, daughter taking the snap.

The Wakefield branch of H&M in fact!

(I don't normally keep track of where I buy t-shirts, but that one was an emergency purchase as sweltering July '18 heat + no a/c on the train meant contents of overnight bag were no longer sufficient).

Michael Jones, Tuesday, 15 December 2020 14:02 (three years ago) link

Lovely photo.

Thanks! I wore it not for formality's sake but b/c last Tuesday was unusually cool for South Florida (a bone-chilling high of 62 in the afternoon).

It's a fairly accurate portrait of my 2020 psyche, it's true.
