I no longer remember the circumstances under which this picture was taken, except that it was taken at Disneyland several years ago. Specifically, I'm not sure why I'm pressing my lips together like that; it appears as though I'm concentrating on something, but I have no idea what that something might be. Still, I imagine that this is what I look like when I'm writing my column, so it seems an appropriate choice.

(UPDATE: I am informed by the photographer that at the moment this picture was taken I was grasping the handles on the Electroshock machine in the Main Street USA Penny Arcade. So I guess it's more of a visual metaphor for my future filmmaking career.)
