Vegan Day: Hey, neato, I'm using today's sponsor!
Have I ever done that before? Probably!
Unifying Theme: National Nouns
Knee-Lather Day:
I have done the knee-lather thing once.
Today, I shaved my face while using a suribachi bowl.
I didn't opt out of the challenge, mind you. No, I'm following it to the letter,
because anyone and everyone who completed yesterday's challenge is a leg-shaver,
and therefore should lather on their shoulder today. I didn't write the rules, guys.
Even so, I did give my legs another pass. I learned that there's much more to
be learned than you can even become aware needs to be learned if you only do
an annual leg-shave. I might have also learned that my legs don't like Feathers,
but that would need further testing.
I'm not sure how long I'll keep this up, but that's not
to suggest I'm going to just give up.
I will say, though, that if I were intent on keeping my legs bare, I would
look into permanent laser hair removal.
Kind of like how I'm looking into
having someone shoot lasers into my eyeballs.
A notable difference there is that I'll still have the option
of putting metal frames on my face, but who among regular-leg-shavers would want to maintain the option of
hairy legs?
But I digress. Post-leg-shave shoulder.

Irish Coffee has gotten a lot of use over the Games, thanks to beverage and/or
explicitly-coffee-focused days. It does smell like coffee (arguably more so
than others), and the whisk(e)y element imparts a sweetness that reminds
me—this morning, anyway, as I'm not sure I've has this thought before—of
Stirling's Iced Coffee. Even so, it blends seamlessly into Scottish Spirit,
which I have previously only experienced in the presence of General Tso.
American Crew is pretty unremarkable. Fragrantica says it has prominent
"aromatic" notes. Oh, good. Much like I like my food to taste like "flavor"
and my music to be "auditory!" I'm sure it has a specific meaning in this
context, but c'mon, people.
