learn to play an instrument (read all 3 entries…)
Actually doing it 16 months ago

I have been taking lessons for about 3 weeks now. I discovered that it’s actually easier to learn to switch chords if I don’t look at the strings. It’s difficult, and I have a lot to learn, but it’s infinitely cooler than “Guitar Hero”.

know how to solve a rubik's cube
Learning vs. remembering 18 months ago

Learning to solve the cube isn’t too difficult. Youtube has a large selection of videos that can help.

The problem is you will most likely forget the moves if you don’t refresh your memory of it fairly regularly.

shave with a straight razor
Cut throat 18 months ago

The slang term “cut throat” is certainly well-deserved. Although I have thus far managed not to severely injure myself, I still get a slight sense of unease pressing that blade to my neck.

I’m not an expert straight razor user yet; I haven’t quite gotten the hang of not giving myself razor burn. I’m not planning to give up, though. I like the almost ritual feeling of stropping, lathering up the brush, and shaving with 3.5 inches of ridiculously sharp steel.
