This isn’t the first time we’ve had fun with moustaches around these parts. Easily, it is the most hilarious facial hair choice a man can make. Yes, even more than the Fu Manchu.

I think most people have someone in their circle of friends that can do the whole facial hair thing like it was a magic trick. Do you know what I’m talking about? You see one of your friends and then they kind of drop off your radar for a couple of days. Next time you see them, they look like the lost member of ZZ Top. What happened? "Oh, nothing. Just trying something out."

If I want to grow any facial hair, I have to set aside serious time. It’s less of an afterthought and more like a carefully orchestrated harvest. Are things coming in even over here? Do I need to thin this out a little? I tried to grow a beard around this time last year. It wasn’t pretty.

I don’t have anything particularly insightful to say about Borat or any of the other releases coming out this week. Both Cami and I are totally on the same page in our desire to see it. We’ve totally cleared our Saturday evenings of any other plans. We gotta pack in as many quality movies right now while we still can. When Li’l Baby Brazelton (we call him B.B. for short) arrives next February, it’s gonna throw a wrench into our theater visits. I hope our local multiplex doesn’t file a missing persons report! Maybe we should give them a head’s up?

I really haven’t talked about our baby since announcing that we were pregnant a few weeks ago. Many of you sent your well wishes and it was amazing. Obviously we thank you and B.B. thanks you. I’m saving all the e-mails sent on his behalf to show him someday how excited people were to meet him before they ever knew him. It’s a cool feeling.

Back on topic… I haven’t really talked about him because I don’t know if that’s something that interests you guys or not. I don’t want to be the internet equivellent of the guy who traps you in a corner showing you two dozen photos of his kids.

But at the same time, I feel like I’ve been talking about nothing but the "Theater Hopper: Year Two" book and I think I’ve probably alienated a few of you with it a little bit. I want to try and reconnect with you. I feel part of my reputation is that I’ve been willing to share parts of my life with you and that’s what makes these posts interesting beyond "I like this movie. I hate this movie. Buy my book!" I really want to talk about our pregnancy because… well… it’s going to change my life in a big way. I know that kids are born to parents around the world every day and it’s mundane in a way. But I’m anticipating that nothing is going to change me as much as the birth of my first child and I think I’m missing out on documenting some of the stuff I’ve come to anticipate.

Unless you guys completely object, I’m going to try and bring back a little of that personal touch to the blogs. Not all of it is going to be baby stuff, but that’s a lot of what’s on my mind lately. If you’re not interested in that kind of stuff, let me know. My e-door is always open. Otherwise, let’s see if we can’t inject a little more humanity into the procedings, shall we? This rampant commercialism has run dry.

In the meantime, I hope everyone has a great weekend. Go see Borat!
