Day 467 progress

5. Get a tattoo: I alluded to this in my last post, but this is only a small update, with no images. I finally settled on my artwork, and although I didn't hear back from the artist I wanted (she is a celebrity figure after all...), I still plan on going to the same studio while I'm in Los Angeles.

I've peeked at some of the online portfolios, but I'll look around when I actually arrive. If I don't feel that I'm going to get exactly what I want, then I'll bail out and find a different studio. I do have a couple of alternates that look good from what I have seen online, but again, the final decision will be made when I get there.

7. Grow my hair out: I started on the long hair thing back in March of 2007, and I've only had it trimmed a few times in the past year. Right now it reaches the highest part of my jawbone. I've been cutting the under part along the sides and back of my head, like the skater cuts of the 1990's. I can almost pull it back, but I still need a little help from hairpins.

Here's blurry picture of me looking overly serious:

I think I am about 50% of the way to the length I want. Ultimately I'll be happy when I can pull it all back, but I would like it to be at least shoulder length by the time this project is over.

25. Listen to every one of my tracks on iTunes: I did some more listening yesterday and today, and brought my total to 5086 of 7082. I cleaned out a few "dead air" tracks from my catalog, so that explains the decrease from yesterday's total tracks. I am 71.82% of the way through this item.
