It has been 100 weeks since I shaved my head. At this point I just have a pretty decent length of hair that doesn't seem unusual to most people.

"The Monday Photos" themselves have taken on a life of their own, which sometimes feels like a lot of fun and occasionally feels like a burden. Some days I definitely almost forget and end up getting something quick in a random place, but on the days I have something fun planned, it's a fun project to play around with.

I like using these arbitrary measures of time to look back on the things that have happened since the last time or, in this case, since the beginning. In that time I've moved houses, traveled a lot of places in Europe and South America, started a new relationship that is still ongoing, completed my comp exams for my Ph.D. and had several haircuts, always begging to keep the length as much as possible.

It's good sometimes to look back on your life, and in that way I love looking at these pictures. As the poem "Love After Love" ends, I feel as if it's an opportunity to "Feast on your life."
