Well, it's the last day of Movember, and as you can see the mo is in full effect and looking pretty full. We're heading to the Mo Gala tonight and tomorrow I will very happilly shave it off and return to my Mo-less existence.
Thanks to Katie, Mum, Ben, Mike, Chris, Adrian, Matt, Nat, Keri and Craig for donating- together you contributed $488 for men's health. Big claps to you!
Speaking of vi ...
Not much new Mo news to report. All is proceeding according to plan. Some people have asked if I am going to keep the Mo past Movember 30th. My answer is this Venn diagram:
Tomorrow is election day here in Australia. I can't vote, but there's definitely something in the air. Everyone is excited, like they're all going to personally change the world tomorrow. Feels good. I'm going to a party wh ...
I had to zoom in on this photo because my eyes were all wonky, but you can see that it is now, a mere twenty days in, I have a full on, badass mo! Call on the Police! I have also raised $488 in donations so far, so thanks to everyone who has donated. Please buy my book when it comes out.
Speaking of which, I have now passed the halfway mark for nanowrimo! Which sounds very impressive, but I'm ac ...
My mo in the shadow of a far superior mo, a mo that can only be described (by its owner) as 'luscious': Mr. Nick. ...

The Mo has finally arrived! The grass bit thin but it's getting there. Still haven't decided on a style but you will notice that I have left a little soul patch (my little tribute to Soul Patch Tony), but this is optional. I like that it gives my mo a triangular sort of feel (I have a thing for triangles), but if you think it should go...vote it off in the comments! The chops look ridiculous at th ...
Now this is technically a violation of Movember rules, as they state that you have to be clean-shaven apart from your mo. However I wasn't allowed a razor on my flight to/from NZ so I've had to just let it grow. Tomorrow morning it all comes off apart from the mo (and maybe some chops), and the real mo-tivation will begin.
Movember ethics: Someone accidentally donates $110 to you, but you don't k ...
As you can see, not much difference between days 1 and 2. In fact, I usually only shave every second day as it's such a pain and no-one can much tell the difference. Day 3 is a different story.
I'm offline for a bit so the next photo update will probably be Day 7, when the mo should be well on its way. Before that time I have to decide what kind of moustache I am going to go for. My options, so ...
Continue reading Day 2.
As it is written in the rules of Movember, one must start Movember with a freshly shaven face- how else can we tell how much mo you can grow in one month? So this is me, freshly shaved on a Thursday morning. Not exactly awake yet. It's already grown back some. I'm off to NZ tomorrow so I may not be able to post daily updates, but I'll put them up as and when I can, for full mo progress updates.

So, this November I will be participating in not one but TWO month-long challenges. The first of these is Movember.
During Movember I'll be growin a Mo. That's right I'm bringing the Mo back because I'm passionate about changing men's health and the fight against male depression and prostate cancer (and, uhm, growing a mo). Why:
* Depression affects 1 in 6 men. Most don't seek help. Untreated d ...
