Omg next week is going to suck for studying.

I think something for work is going to take me till 9 pm on tuesday. Weds I'm going to work at 7 and seeing a play after work till 11:30. Then thursday's a little get together.

It's going to be fun, but I really need to get some hardcore studying done. I guess I'm just going to make up for it this weekend and maybe take a half day on monday to study.

They were early on. Assuming you believe that white people from California can play ska, and that ska didn't die with Rolando Alphonso. There was a ska revival out here in the late 80s/early 90s and they came out of that scene.

I put this Brain Age App (basically it's a modified digit span test) on my phone and kind of broke it. Instructions say that peak brain performance occurs at 20 years old, then I took the test and got a score of 16.9 with the comment "Don't waste your time with this..." Funny.

FYI: All of pretty light's music is available for free on his site. You can donate if you want to. I didn't this time around, but next payday I'll probably throw in 20 bucks.

Went to a 67 mile T-shirt ride today. It was put on by the local bike club and the start was 5 miles from my house, so I figured, why not? I assumed it'd be a nice ride, maybe a little fast here and there. Wrong. At the start line I saw multiple P1's from DFW, some 2's, and ex State Champ Cat 3, and 2 local Open/Pro MTB guys. Yeah, today hurt.

Just watched USA get a draw with Argentina in a "friendly". It wasn't exactly friendly. Excellent result for the US.

Back to basketball. Excellent Butler/Florida game earlier, now it's the end of the UConn game. Nice lazy rainy day, plus had lunch with my g/f and her mom. I don't like her mom, but she likes me, so it's alright.

Since I broke my last Selle San Marco and can't find an exact replacement I've been trying different saddles, including 2 of the Fizik test saddles, (didn't like them).
Yesterday at the LBS I was checking out a beautiful Selle Italia that retails for $200. The LBS guy told me I could "borrow" it and mount it on my bike to see if I liked it
Well, I took it on a ride which turned into a 7.5 hour ride with rain. I stopped and looked at it and it was covered with sand, as was most of me. I guess I found my new saddle.
