My electric razor is currently in the Berkeley Police property room awaiting me (long story). After 2 days without a razor, my face felt like a porcupine autofelating itself: not good. I’ll get my electric back soon but I had to pick up some interim Bic razors at Walgreens.
After lathering up my face, I touched the razor to my upper lip, gave it a tuGGHHHHAAARRRRRGwhatthefaaaahk?! Ouch!
What the hell are people thinking, using a razor instead of an electric is masochistic! I’ve used a rotary electric razor since 1990 and never looked back. And today I was reminded as to why!
Screw bladed razors, get a Norelco rotary electric razor! They rock!
I received and then participated in a fun little Facebook exercise that proved to give me a good smile. It was really nice seeing friends check-in, if only briefly.
Here is the post, with last names removed:
I received this from Megan. But I think it might be for you.

local version:
Both the Clic Eraser refill from Pentel and the SumoGrip refill from Sakura are acceptable eraser refills for my Logo II pencil. I have to add Scotch tape to make them fit perfectly, just like my original fix for the Logo II.
I like the SumoGrip refills a little better because the eraser material is a little more firm, and it’s cut to length, though the length problem took 2 seconds to fix with scissors.
Last summer I gushed about my favorite mechanical pencil, the PaperMate Logo II here. I’ve now bought 3 cases of them, 12 0.7mm pencils and 24 0.5mm pencils. I use them constantly and love them (read my post for a vital fix to the eraser!).
I took the GRE today. I got my score for most of the test back. I rocked it!
The other part will take about 2 weeks to grade, but I think I rocked that too. What does that mean? It means I can apply to San Jose State’s Occupational Therapy Master’s program!
It was a completely grueling test. And the last couple weeks of studying have been really rough. The worst part is now that I know how to pass it, I never have to take it again!
Thank you to everyone who wished me well. Yes, it helped. Thanks especially to Michael Kearny, Schuyler, Dorothy and her caps that made me strong, Jane Davis, Charlotte, my mom and dad who are the greatest, and most of all Megan!
With all the hoopla in the news about City College possibly closing because of funding and accreditation, I just want to say:
* both the city and state bills to keep the school funded passed
* re-accreditation is coming along nicely
* They ain’t closing
* At $46/unit, it remains a super duper bargain for a real education
* Their non-credit classes are FREE (and you don’t have to go the whole semester if you don’t want)
* They’ve got a gazillion credit and non-credit classes.
Look See!
Classes start in January, but sign up NOW because they tend to fill up.
PS. The truth won’t set you free. No. It will grab you, shake you, and MAKE you free!
And that is how we roll.
The GRE is the test you take when you are trying to get into Grad School. I’m trying to get into an Occupational Therapy Master’s program at San Jose State. The test is hard. I’ll be taking it this Friday.
Please wish me a bit of good fortune.
Thanksgiving in Florida was terrific. Everyone (of course) loved Megan!

This brought to you (and me) by my friend Marah. I certainly need such encouragement with all my chasing school stuff. (I’m taking the GRE in 9 days, and I’ve got a flurry of tests in front of me before Holiday break)
