Thursday miscellanea #272

I’m trying to have as much hair as possible to work with on Crazy Hair Day for the last Upward game. As I type it’s a good week or ten days past when I would have buzzed it, and it’s driving me nuts. I’m having to comb it. That’s how I know it’s too long. For Crazy Hair Day itself, I’m between either a) a mohawk and a goatee; or b) Kojak bald with mutton chops. Either way, my hair would be sprayed red. What do you think?
The Daytona 500 is this weekend. It’s not IndyCar, but it’s something. That’s a tough old time after football ends but before racing begins!
Speaking of IndyCar, I just read that Simona de Silvestro has left the series for an F1 testing role. That practically guarantees we’ll have mostly all-male fields this season. That’s too bad.
Reading an article about The Silence of the Lambs earlier this week, I learned that audio exists of serial killers Lawrence Bittaker and Roy Norris torturing and raping a teenage girl. (It was employed in a sort of a “this is what we’re trying to capture” way.) I have enough trouble not being haunted by details that I just read when it comes to various serial killers’ methods and practices. I can’t imagine actually hearing it. Is there any good reason, outside a police station or a courtroom, for a healthy, well-adjusted person to listen to that? I don’t think creating a mood for making a movie qualifies.
I miss playing chess. I’m thinking about figuring out where I can fit it into my life again.
Think I could make it going lacto-ovo vegetarian for Lent? Last year I successfully gave up red meat. What about going all the way?
I’m eBaying my left-handed black Mizuno baseball glove. I’d guess it’s caught two dozen balls. If you want to give me, say, $70 for it locally, I’ll do that instead. Let me know before the end of the weekend.
