I think that I, Brian von Frinkenhagen, am going to be making this my last post ever. To be honest, I'm just not sure that anyone reads this page anymore. I do my best to make my comments interactive and to solicit feedback/comments, but no one ever comments (unless it has to do with our ultra-cute baby girl - and she's just so adorable, I don't blame the few that do comment). I look at other blogs (occasionally) and they have a gazillion comments for every post. Perhaps it is because this blog isn't really mine and is dominated by people I don't know. Maybe that's what I'll tell myself.
A short while ago, I mentioned that finals season was upon me and that I was taking suggestions on what I should do with my newly found (though unevenly grown) facial hair. I even gave some possibilities to get the ball rolling. And yet, nothing. Just two comments from my (lovely) wife regarding my insult of her (non-existent) facial hair and the misspelling of the word "mountain" (hey, I was on the bus, half asleep, typing with tiny keys on that stupid PDA that I'm addicted to, with no spell checker, fat fingers, and a bumpy road - I thought I did pretty well).
Since no one decided to make any comments or suggestions, I've decided that the facial hair is going to be a countdown of sorts. For my first final (on Friday...ugh), it will be the full, scruffy, mountain man "beard".
On Monday, before heading to my second final (which I will be less prepared for than my first final - if that's possible), I will shave it down to a goatee.
(You probably see where this is headed).
For my third final on Wednesday (which I'm less concerned about since it is all multiple choice - my specialty - under the professor's theory that the bar exam teaches Torts through multiple choice and so should he. This is code for "I don't want to have to sit there and grade essays. Rather, I'd prefer to run the exam through a machine, let it spit out the grades, determine the curve, and be on my way." I swear, if this guy doesn't have grades up on the first day...), it will be the Jason Giambi-esque "mustachio" (with the music rolling through my head - may be a distraction, I don't know).
And for my last final on Friday (which may well be my last law school final ever if they kick me out), it will be the return of the clean-shaven von Frinkenhagen.
10-4, over and out.

Time taken to format this post is this Piece of Sh...ahem...Crap Google Software Interface: 17 minutes (AAAAHHHHHH!!! I'd rather take law school finals that have to format crap in this interface. Seriously, billions and billions and billions of dollars and Google can't fix this? Quit insulting Microsoft and do something productive!)
P.S. Ok, that's it. I'm officially taking on an aside to this post. Google wants to help protect the environment by getting people to use black screens. Well guess what? Everything to do to help in that initiative is offset by the fact that people have to spend half their day trying to get separate paragraphs in this interface. Note that the blogspot interface is WHITE, which uses more electricity and such. They need to spot their hypocracy and do something productive.
On a further aside, writing this post and the post script has not been productive. Who's the hypocrite now?

From Dufer:
First off, I don't post comments b/c the one time I tried to way back in the peanut butter battle days, I typed a nice long comment only to learn I have to register. Being the lazy man that I am, I said no, and decided there would be no comments from yours truly. The world is probably a better place for that anyways.
Jennifer said she would respond for me so here it goes. I see you want suggestions for the facial hair. Here are my ideas:
Option 1: It is hockey playoff season. I have gotten addicted to watching them. Adopt a team and grow yourself a playoff beard. It does not get shaven until your adoptive team is eliminated. May I recommend Detroit or Boston for the likihood of a long run. Choose Chicago or Pittsburgh for the most entertaining teams. While your at it, add a Barry Melrose haircut. You'd look stellar. Once eliminated proceed with the Giambi stache.
Option 2: Go with the Ryan Klesko-style chops.
Option 3: the un-beard. Shave everything on your face except the part under chin
Option 4: the Matt Clement chin bush
Option 5: the Rollie Fingers' handlebar 'stache
That's all I got for now. Need to get back to work. Wish I had some pictures for those who have no idea who I was referring to.
I am thinking the Fu Manchu.
DUDE! Get some Pork Chops going!
