Spotted yesterday:  The dude who plays Ben, the creepy head of “The Others” on Lost, as I was walking to lunch at the mini-mall next door to my work building.  He was talking to someone and passed right by me.  Normally, when I see someone who I recognize from TV or movies, I do a double-take — first glance tells me they look familiar and can I place them?  Second glance usually gives me a rough idea of who it is, since sometimes it’s a little hard for me to recognize actors out of their element.  But this dude… instantly recognized him.  He looks exactly the same in real life as he does on TV.

Spotted this morning:  The bedroom wall, when I walked into it.  I only got a handful of hours of sleep on Sunday night, so after the Red Sox suffered the ignominy of defeat again yesterday, I crashed hard at midnight and woke up 8 1/2 hours later when my alarm went off… and then promptly fell out of bed.  Then, still groggy, I got up off the floor and walked into the wall.  Gee, I’m coordinated.

I also got lazy yesterday and neglected to shave before work, so I went to the office scruffy.  However, none of my co-workers believed I was working on only 1 days’ worth of growth.  It’s 2 days now, and I look positively mountain mannish.  The question becomes, do I remain lazy and let it grow out for a couple of days to see what happens, or do I start hacking it off again?  If I let it grow, I anticipate itching, and I also anticipate a painful shave when I eventually do take it off.
