I just got a digital camera for my birthday. I should really install the software and post a pic; never took part in one of these before, despite being a doper for over eight years now.

Ok, [this is me](http://picasaweb.google.com/clturn/Haircut/photo#5218437994700287826) after I got “the Mum cut” last week. I held out a while, but my hair was driving me crazy.

-shrug- It will grow back.

My most recent photo is actually a [video](http://163.150.89.242/yhs/2008grad/eichman.html). (Boring graduation speech - be warned)

Those who are concerned, rest assured that I am wearing a Hawaiian shirt under the robe. 😃

OK. Here’s [me in video form](http://youtube.com/watch?v=OHYVkqJPubc), enjoying my 15 minutes of television fame. I start jabbering about food about 1:30 into the clip.

Okay, let’s see what I can find. [Here’s one from twenty years ago, when I had hair.](http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm119/Polyphemus_2008/?action=view&current=chaucer.jpg)

[One from last year looking grumpy, probably because I was wearing a tie.](http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm119/Polyphemus_2008/?action=view&current=CourtneysWedding012.jpg)

Two from Pennsic:

[Me about to hit a Tuchuk on the head (which he ignored, but it was a charity tournament, so what the Hell).](http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm119/Polyphemus_2008/?action=view&current=PXXXVTuchuxTourney01.jpg)

[Me in the bright blue, at a get-together of denizens of www.armourarchive.org, another website I frequent.](http://s294.photobucket.com/albums/mm119/Polyphemus_2008/?action=view&current=AA_gathering_1.jpg)

(Note: the person leaning on my shoulder is a full-grown woman who’s 4 feet 7 inches; feisty little lesbian from Germany, and the smallest armoured fighter I ever met. She was drinking a Miller; I apologized for the quality of mass-market American beer, and she said, “Long as it gets you drunk, I don’t care.”)

It’d be nice if that were true. It’s the only time in my 27 years of SCA fighting that I’ve not been able to hit somebody hard enough in the head or body for it to count, and it happened in every bout I had in that tourney. To be fair, this included both Tuchux and my fellow SCAers; perhaps I missed a pertinent announcement beforehand.

You’re a fine-looking wench, by the way.

I have never, ever had a Doper’s picture so closely match the image I had in mind for them.

So that’s what Bruce Campbell would look like if he went to IU. If I ever get back down to that neck of the woods… well… there I’ll be.

(last time I was down there was to watch the IU final four game, quite a party that night)

Don’t know if this will work (Facebook link), but [here’s](http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?pid=2183545&id=761290264) me in Amsterdam.

ETA: Don’t know if you have to be logged in to view that, or if only I (and friends) can view it, so [here’s](http://entertainmentweeklypeople.blogspot.com/) the same picture from my blog (I really should get a Flickr account, I suppose).

Thank you! I am trying to get the time off to go to War this year. I haven’t been in like three years and I really miss it. We’ll see!

I don’t think I’ve added any really recent pics of myself recently, so-

Taken earlier this week- [possibly my gayest pic](http://www.flickr.com/photos/54557344@N00/2632427053/in/photostream/) (not to involve drag at least).

Because the top of my mortarboard was cut off in [this one](http://www.flickr.com/photos/54557344@N00/2632437801/in/photostream/) (taken at a graduation ceremony last week) I look like a particularly deranged Tevye during the wedding scene.

In interest of total currency, this was taken [just now](http://www.flickr.com/photos/54557344@N00/2632427389/in/photostream/) (or about two minutes ago by the time it’s posted). I’m a bit “glisteny” because I’ve been doing some yard-work and even though it’s almost midnight it’s hot outside (plus I sweat like a pregnant nun on Judgment Day anyway).
