Here, to demonstrate my obsessiveness (and for the benefit of future linkage), is an index of all my Movember haiku--or "hairku" as they will henceforth be known (thanks, [info]newroticgirl, for that most excellent neologism).

As noted in the comments, it was surprisingly difficult to find inspiration every day in such an uninspiring patch of fur. Thanks to those who encouraged, educated or challenged me on the way. I'm going to miss the morning ritual, even if I'm glad the mo has finally gone. (Yes, not even Zappa Plays Zappa tonight could keep the clippers away...)

Ya think obssessive is the right word???? :P It is kinda an endurance test isn't it (I've no idea why I'm writing 'slang' - I blame lack of caffeine & Sunday-itis).

"Obsessive" in the sense that I went to the trouble of tracking down all those links and tapping out the code etc etc. I probably had better things to do this morning--which was exactly why I was so willingly distracted, I guess. :-)

Hey, I hope you've managed to get some caffeine into you by now. I don't touch the stuff any more, but I remember the headaches I'd get if I left it too long...

I'm trying to stay on the wagon, so it was decaf this morning (but that meant I still had my ritual of putting machine on stove, the scent of brewing coffee). I fall off it regularly. But I've succumbed....gone & bought an iced coffee (extra strong espresso variety of course). Didn't realise it until in the car :o

You. Obsessive. Never. Mwahahahahahahaha :P

You have me totally nailed. :-) I'm even worse when I'm on coffee (hence my abstention on that score).
