That said, I can't lock it up outside the coffee shop where I sometimes go to sit and read a book or study for more than five min. without someone coming by to stare at it, or approach me with questions. Narcissictic?(sic?) Maybe, but it makes me happy nonetheless.
stumptown? i mean to go there more often, just because of the plethora of pretty bikes that are always outside it...but anytime i'm there, i stand in line for a couple of minutes, and then decide i didn't want coffee anyway, and besides, i didn't bring anything to read, and the only magazine they stock that i read is "no depression"....yep.
