I can't express how busy I've been lately in words. I'm going to attempt to make the point very soon through some interperetive sleeping, but I thought I should make sure it is clear that I am still alive. I've just been a bit burdened helping out with KURE's Kaleidoquiz. It's incredible how much it's come together in the last two weeks...
Oh, one announcement: I've discovered that I'm starting to go bald. Not too severe yet, but the hairline has moved back a bit. It's not like I wasn't expecting it; none of the adult males on either side of my family has managed to retain their hair. His hair? Whatever. Still, I had hoped to turn at least nineteen before having to look into Rogaine...
If you don't understand the significance of hair loss, you are either a very kind person or just not male. Possibly both; it's not like they're mutually exclusive. But as usual, Andre Torrez addresses the topic much better than I possibly could.
Fun stuff: God Socks Guy. Kaleidoquiz is moving beyond tradition to legend status at Iowa State; God Sock Guy has already done so. For those who are too lazy or bandwidth impaired to click the link, apparently the Guy goes out in front of the library come rain or snow and tries to bring people to God. Or something. The Socks part comes from the enormous socks he wears with his not-so-enormous shorts. T-shirts have been made featuring him somewhere or other. It's insane, and frightening. It also puts him on my Ames must-photograph list, right up there with the medieval dueling club and those snow geese on Lake Laverne. Expect to hear more about God Sock Guy in the future...
