BLOG: HIP-HIP HOORAY
Long time, no write. Sorry I’ve been a hair slow at keeping this blog updated. Nine months ago I decided to embark upon a hair adventure to document the pixie grow-out process — through the good, the bad, and the downright ugly. Over the course of the 2012-13 school year, I blogged about my hair-related […]

Spring concert information still unknown
With only three weeks until the March 21 Campus Activities Board-sponsored spring concert, University of South Dakota campus anticipation is growing.

BLOG: Normalcy, sweet normalcy
I did it! Last January 25, I finally decided to try laser hair removal. I had heard so many success stories from friends and family, and I was tired of the constant maintenance and irritation that came with traditional hair removal methods. So, I booked my first appointment with a reputable clinic that does laser […]
BLOG: Normalcy, sweet normalcy
I did it! Last Friday, Feb. 1, I got my first haircut since August. But more importantly, I have “perfected” the pixie grow-out process and avoided Stage 5: “The creepy-as-all-hell, Javier Bardem (as Anton Chigurh) Bowl Cut!” Hello, Stage 6: “Normalcy, sweet normalcy” — the final stage: You’ve made it! Congratulations! At this point, the […]
BLOG: Heads or tails?
Heads or tails? Call it. That’s what Anton Chigurh would do. You know, the awkward and merciless hitman from Cormac McCarthy’s “classic” 2005 novel, No Country for Old Men. A character later embodied by Javier Bardem sporting a frightening Dutch boy haircut in the 2007 film adaptation. Haven’t read or seen it? Where have you […]

BLOG: Halfway progress report
In the words of Bon Jovi: “WOAH, we’re halfway there!” But I’m not “Livin’ on a Prayer” — I’m halfway to growing out my hair. This is my halfway progress report. The ultimate goal: Grow out my pixie to just-above-shoulder-length by my graduation, this coming spring. Nearly 17 weeks ago, I got my last real […]
