On Appearances
One of the things about being an actor is that when you're getting regular work you essentially give over your appearance to your costume designers. Costume designers don't care what you look like in public just so long as you look like the character their mind's eye. Costume designers also don't want to do any more than they have to, so fake beards and wigs (at least for men), unless absolutely neccessary are never an approved of commodity (and don't even think about offering to do it yourself). This occasionally leads to uncomfortable and sometimes humiliating results.
Currently, I look more or less like this:

Since I'm balding pretty severely now, though, a more accurate representation is something like this:

Life is good right now. I'm keeping busy. I've pretty much gone out and accomplished what I've wanted to get out and accomplish so far. I have a lot of fast approaching, important decisions to make soon. I will keep you all posted.
