#3 - 30 Books

From January 21, 2004 to January 21, 2005, I only read 23 never-before-read books. I was fairly disappointed in myself, so when I made this list, I tried to set a realistic goal that was still a little bit of a stretch for me. I know that there are folks who try to do 52 books in 52 days, but I knew that I would fail miserably at that, so I just set myself 30. It got down to the wire this time, but I still read 30 books from Jan 21-05 to Jan 21-06, so that means that #3 is dealt with. For the actual list, you should go here. Of course, if I don't read 30 books by Jan 21-07, that means this comes OFF the list, but I'll still do my best. (And see, annie, I put it up fairly quick.)

#73 - Loose Tea Hardware

After 2 months of nothing, my latest entry here has me going over all of my goals and saying, "Damn, I was really overambitious when I made this list!" I'm almost positive I'll be getting only 51 of these done, which is just better than half, and then I'll be a lot more pragmatic when (and / or if) I write another list.

My latest and moderate-est addition to this list is that my mother gave me a tea infuser for Christmas. Now, when I originally thought about making loose tea, I thought about one of those mini-presses they have at Steeps, but this little ball definitely fits the bill, and is much easier to clean. So hooray for me, now I can go spoil myself with my own jar of Banana Roobois. Surprisingly delicious.
