some more procrastination

1) I shaved with real shaving cream a few days ago. I usually just shave with shampoo in the shower, but anna got this sweet deal where the shaving cream was free. It was pretty nice. I had forgotten what it feels like to shave without pain.

2) I am taking an arabic DLPT on the 14th and I am trying to get all my vocab and grammar back. It might seem like that is what I am procrastinating, but it isn't. Language study is more exciting than it has ever been before in my life. Mostly because it is replacing civil procedure.

3) I think it would be pretty cool to grow a banana tree (you can get them for $8 off of the link on anna's blog) and then use the bananas to make banana ice cream or banana bread. I wonder if you can grow your own little wheat stalks and sugar cane and get the whole banana bread cycle in your kitchen.

4) I bought a Brooks saddle for my bike. It is pretty nice. They are supposed to be the most comfortable saddles ever, but they take about 500 miles to break in. I have about 20 so far. Mostly it is just slippery.

i haven't used shaving cream since october of 2005. i have always used either hand soap or shampoo. i think shaving cream is over rated, but maybe its because i forgot what shaving cream feels like.

Chris--

Found my way here from Bridget Palmer's blog. Good Stuff

As a fellow Surly enthusiast, I admire your Pacer (I'm a CrossCheck man, myself). Interested to hear what you think of the Brooks . . .

(just in case it's not entirely clear who I am--I enjoyed reading Arabic literature with you last year)
