Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Nutella is delicious. Sweet, but delicious.

Whoo, first fall of the winter! Just a small slip on the ice. Quickly got back up and moved before I could get run over.

Edit: LSkins bartape tore up a tiny bit as well. Such is life

Damn. I signed up for for Winter quarter classes yesterday. Turned out great. Got all my classes exactly how I wanted them and didn't get waitlisted in any of them!

Now I have to see it I get my ass kicked out this quarter for being hella dumb and bike crazy lol..

Today I got my arm smashed between a support beam and a stove. I think I may go to the ER after work, because I can't really move it very well.

^At least you saved some money. That's how I look at missed ops like that.

My students from Korea LOVE Nutella. They eat way too much of it on bread and crackers, like the amount they put on a cracker is astounding to me. The cracker to Nutella ratio is like 1:2, while mine would be like 3:1.

Today I picked up my package from Ben's from my apartment manager's office. So freaking relieved, the tracking # said delivered and when I got home yesterday there was no package in the mail or my apartment. I was stressing and was about to head to the post office when my manager came and told me. YES!

Well, I've worked with it for three hours, it still hurts, is slightly swollen, I can't move my wrist, have full dexterity and feeling in my fingers, and if I poke around the bone isn't moving. Ace bandage it is.

I'm tough as nails man. Kaz has seen me get hit by a car and then go party, so she can verify that claim.

I had already ordered the saddle so getting the matching tape was a must! cost me an extra $18

at least it lasts a long time... right!

Don't worry everyone, I am meeting Bryan for drinks after work but *really* what I'm going to do is examine his arm and nag him to go to a doctor or the ER if I deem it necessary. (Shhh don't tell him; it's a trap!)

I have been accused by friends of being a mother hen. Yeah, maybe.

I think ending your season early = emotional damage.

Yesterday I had a car basically run the stop at the intersetion of interlaken/galer/19th....was a bus parked at the turn around and the car couldn't see me, I was already in the intersection. When she finally noticed me she gunned it right at me! About 50 yards later she pulled into a parallel parking spot. Yeah, I called her a stupid ****ing ***** to her face...

Today I realized my new seatpost has way too much setback. Poop.

Posting it in the trades thread if anybody is interested (especially if you have a brooks saddle!)
