Cried.
Got a mountain bike. (free)
Rode my geared bike.
Rode my fixed geared bike.
Volunteered at the bike co-op, including fixing a coaster brake.
Listened to my friend talk too much.
Now I'm here and things are back to normal.

Lucid dreaming
Espresso
Rainy commute
More espresso + really good day at work
Liquor store
Home for a 20min stop
Had 2 nice biker girls teach me to play Mah Jong while I drank some of the beer
Home again, check to see if bikeForums is up...

hey, thanks. i just meant , you know. .... i've been a fan for years but one day it all comes together: the songs you've heard for years, over and over again...they just click. or some obscure lyric jumps out at you and makes TOTAL ****ING SENSE TO YOU. right at that moment. of course riding very fast at the same time maybe helps...

yeah - i have been on a rediscovery kick lately of sludgey proto-metal. Sabbath took the cake. Their first four albums contain some of the best riffs and sounds of any music from that era.
Incredible.
"The Wizard" alone, damn. I first heard that in its entirety in CO while riding roads to nowhere and drinking a few beers at my old job. It still remains as great now as it did then.
