Tonight, my mother will give me my first haircut.

I, eager to experience the sublime horror of a truly bad style, will be fulfilling the promise I made to my 9-year-old self and getting a pageboy, a cut otherwise known in France as the Joan of Arc.

I dunno, I feel like this would be an interesting sight. Pics or it didn't... nah, I don't need memes to make a request. A picture of the result would be pretty awesome though.

Wait. First, as in first ever ever?

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

I see you have discovered the ultimate method of saving money and time on haircuts, then! Man, if it weren't for the extent that it gets in the way when even slightly long and the lack of patience I would have for restraining it effectively, I would probably have adopted that method by now.

I just peeked over at my Dad's Age of Empires III game.  He named his city HELL and his leader's name is LORD SATAN.  Wow.  He's also level 90 what the heck.

Music and sound. How does it work?
Is it odd that I spent a lot of time just listening to the sound of her voice? It feels ironic.
Anyway, I knew a lot of that stuff already, but it still filled in a few gaps in my knowledge.
It also set me off thinking about the mechanics of the human brain. I don't claim to have anywhere near a decent knowledge of the human brain, but could it not be said that the cells of the human brain resonate on different chemical and electrical frequencies themselves? Sometimes I think I've grasped how the human brain works. Then it's gone.

A chemical frequency? That's a new one and I consider myself quite knowledgeable on the field of chemistry. Sure you're not thinking of a phonon or a magneton?

When I lived in the Netherlands the hairdresser I went to would donate all the hair off to some charity or other.
He gave me hot chocolates, I like him.

A while back when we went to a hairdresser place. A chain hairdresser's place. My mother asked if they donated their hair to charity. I couldn't help but roll my eyes. America is as green as a bacon express cheeseburger... without lettuce.

Hey, depending on where you leave that burger and for how long, it could get very green, indeed.

But... but... your hair...
Well, I hope this isn't something you will regret.

It grows back. Hair grows back, right? Man, I'm the worst biologist ever >_> (This question is a joke; I'm not quite that stupid, although sometimes I feel close)

 How does donating hair to cancer patients have anything to do with the green movement.

I would bet money Andrew has edited things retroactively, except I can't prove anything because it was edited retroactively.

... in America!

And elsewhere, too. And sometimes, elsewhen! I'm just saying, I bet the dinosaurs felt really uneasy knowing that their descendants were going to be hunted and consumed in over-the-top ways and combinations to celebrate national holidays.
