hammocks, milk, and corners

1. If you put a Brazillian cotton-string hammock in the dryer on 'air fluff' for six hours, the detergent residue mostly comes out, but even if you tie it up really carefully, it still escapes and tangles the heck out of itself.

2. Soaking your new mall-acquired underwear in milk for nine hours makes it less perfumy, and maybe even wearable. I've been trying to decontaminate it for over a month, so this is major progress. Malls suck. And yes, washing the milk out is a little bit of a pain, but it's a lot easier than perfume.

3. I can turn corners on my road bike at 24 miles per hour. This is new, so I hope it still works tomorrow.
