This is the first week my beard has run into opposition -- my mom has suddenly become quite outspoken against it, and when we went to my aunt's house for a Fourth of July celebration, she also said she didn't like it.
My ever-growing beard will not allow such insults to break its will, however. It will continue to grow, and grow well. Although, as Anna noted might happen in last week's update, both beard and face have clashed, and the result has been itchiness. Not a lot of it, mind -- certainly not enough for a hulking he-man such as myself to be bothered with -- but it is there. I thought you would all like to know.
I am also pleased to note that even though my beard is still in the growing pains stage of its life, it was nowhere near the ugliest beard at the Anime Expo. This is a tremendous victory for my beard and a great boost to its self-esteem. I couldn't be prouder for the little guy.
Anyway! This week's pictures:

Another week, another few steps toward greatness for my friend the beard. Hooray!
