Watch Out! Here Comes Anderson Cooper!

I honestly think that CNN gave him this primo spot because ALL of the networks were calling. It still might only be a matter of time before Cooper takes over at CBS. In the meantime, we'll have to wait.

I also have been predicting for a year or so now that the sucessor to David Letterman, whenever he retires, will be Jon Stewart. There's almost no doubt in my mind. It's gonna happen.

Then again, I was wrong about the White Sox...

Also, I was feeling nostalgic, think about our wonderful beard growing month of aught-two. I think at the time we were accused of making the wrong month Beard Growing Month, some other weird organization had declared that November was officially beard growing month. On a whim, I decided to google "beard growing month" and the results were astonishingly empty The top spot? An old Western listserv post by Matt Connor about it! So, I declare that we had every right to have October as Beard Growing Month. So shall it be written, so shall it be done!

Also, tomorrow is officially declared "Hanson Day" at Emerson. I'll explain later.

Mmmmm bop!

I was just thinking of that recently as we seem to have shifted beard growing month from october to november. blame it on global warming but it really doesn't get cold enough in most of october for beard to be necessary. also, i so miss the days of being able to stop shaving or more accurately when i would only buzz off facial hair with clippers and always be fuzzy around the edges. currently, sunday is the only day i am able to not shave until summer. then i'll be able to go all weekend again. i'm starting to have dreams about running off to the mountains to become a grizzled old man.

Now don't laugh, but I have a weird obession with Anderson Cooper. So, I'm glad he's getting more airtime on CNN.

And, you bastard! It's going to take me forever to get that song out of my head.

Coincedentally

I stopped shaving in early October. Just sorta because. I wasn't even considering the fact that it was beard growing month.

Nonetheless, one month later, I have a beard. It's amazing how beard growing month (even when one is unaware of it) works.

Re: Coincedentally

Of course, in looking back at my listserv post, it seems i was declaring November, not October, to be beard growing month. I can't recall which month it was supposed to be anymore.

I call for a beard referendum.

Like Matt, I too grew a beard during October, though it was specifically for my Halloween costume and not because I remembered beard growing month. I think that beard growing month depends on where you live. I mean, in Ohio, November is the right month where crips autumn days turn to cold bitter nights, so an ample supply of hair on your face is a definite plus. It's pretty much the same where I am in Japan too. Those early morning bike rides to school are a bit more bearable thanks to my practical yet fashionable beard.

But wouldn't beard growing month be like, all year round for people in Iceland, Denmark, and Norway? And what about those below the equator? Wouldn't that make their beard growing month in June or July?

I like Matt's idea. We need to hold a beard summit with all the beard greats congregating to decide this hard hitting issues. George Lucas, Wolf Blitzer, ZZ Top, that homeless guy who's always asking me for a dirty sandwich: all beard notables must be informed and invited.
