it's saturday, 2130 hours, had a pretty sweet day.
yesterday we went for an after work ride, weather was spectacular, i love love love my bike. i climbed up some stuff i hadn't cleaned before, must have been all that road riding that made my legs strong, and coming down the mountain i felt flowy and smooth, like a river, and fast, and i felt like i was in my own kick ass video. it was a pretty sweet ass ride.
i also cooked a buch, made some tomato bisque with fresh tomatoes from some farmers garden that Drew gave me, also made chocolate chip bacon cookies, which pretty much kicked ass. regular chocolate chip recipe that you find on the back of a pack of bittersweet chocolate chips, but instead of two sticks of butter, one stick of butter and one half cup of bacon grease. of course we had to fry up a bunch of bacon to get the grease, so there was also a bunch of bacon, which goes great on buttered bread as well as just eating it. mmmmm, bacon. i don't care how trite or cliche it is, bacon is fucking awesome and tasty and one of the best things ever. another great reason to get kicked out of the garden of eden. there was no bacon tree, how could it have been paradise?
so, that was yesterday.....today i went to work, it was slow, there were a bunch of crazy weird people in, but also some decent and fun customers. overall a pretty good day. i ate waaaaay too much meat, honestly. i need to go a day or two eating nothing but vegetables. seriously.
came home from work and there was dinner waiting for me, that pretty much rocked. i'm a lucky guy.
i have been dabbling in the realm of discount cheese. i can't always tell if the cheese is supposed to taste like that, or if it's bad and that is why it's discounted. either way, it's an adventure, and a glass of wine helps immensely.
as for my no drinking month....oh well. last night i had a shot or two of vodka, and tonight i had a glass of red. the thing is, i'm not taking in a huge bunch of alcohol calories, and i don't' think i'm putting too much strain on my system. i know i should drink nothing but water to help lose weight and fix myself, but having one glass of wine is better than having one bottle of wine. so i got that going for me.
my new crazy thing i'm doing is....for the rest of the month, i am not using any soap or shampoo in the shower. only water. i am only washing myself with water. apparently our bodies will regulate themselves and soap and shampoo just fuck up the regulation, they are apparently completely unnecessary, and do more harm than good. i've heard it from some people, and read it on some blogs. well, the only way to verify is to try it myself, and i have nothing better to do with my time, so....
the cool thing is...if it really works, not only will i save a bunch of cash by not having to buy soap and shampoo, but also it's a cool conspiracy that i can actually get behind. and i love a good conspiracy. it will also be pretty neat if my skin feels better and my hair looks and feels better. supposedly it is healthier to not use soap or shampoo, and i can see that. even "all natural organic" soap and shampoo are extra chemicals that aren't natural to our body. i will write more on this as i progress.
if i prove something, if i prove shampoo and soap are not unnecessary and are just a way to keep us needing more and more skin and hair products, if i prove it's a conspiracy by the chemical companies, is it still a conspiracy? i'll have to check on that.
right now i think i shall retire to the boudoir and read a bit and then fall asleep. i'm tired. my legs are a bit sore as well, i think they need a rest. tomorrow is bike polo, so that should be a good time.
now i snooze.
