Random fact. I know a guy that paints his toenails. Completely straight. I asked him why he did it, and his reply was "I hate the way my toenails look otherwise" hahaha.

Although, I'm glad I'm a guy, all I have to worry about is cutting them. |

Today I:
Today I tore down my paramount entirely and swapped over a cocktail of period appropriate 105 & tricolor/600 temporarily to refurb the campy parts that were on it.
|
I've painted my toenails before. Looked damn sexy.

Yesterday was my first ride ever as a spandex warrior. I also had my first serious crash two minutes in said ride which resulted in a broken clavicle, trashed front wheel, saddle, bars and jersey.
No biaks for 6 weeks. :( |
Wow! That's a serious bummer, I'm sorry to hear. :( What happened?
|

Was riding in the bike lane when I came up behind him approaching an intersection, he didn't signal so I kept going at about 20mph when suddenly he began to turn. I tried turning with the jeep but there was no hope. Ripped his passenger side mirror clean off and rolled on the hood of the car, saw my bike and the mirror go flying ahead of me and I landed shoulder first. Broken bones and all worst part was seeing my bike go flying for a bit, ha.

Despite being bummed out/sad about a few things and work totally blowing huge donkey balls today, I am in a terrific mood. It's pretty ok.

HOW DO YOU SLEEP. Better yet, how'd you break both? Doctors said it was pretty bad. After the first X-ray the technologist said "Wow what the hell happened to you", that's when I realized I broke something. :lol:
You have to find a recliner to sleep it, it's really the best you can do. It also helps when you want to get up. Getting out of bed was so goddamn hard. Did you get the dude's info? I hope so.

You broke yours again? What happened this time? You make me feel like I'm a relatively safe rider and I thought I was an all out-of-control nutjob.

Today I:
Do they do spa treatments? Or do I have to bring my own cucumber slices?
|
Today I've been feeling like a kid on Christmas Eve, since the tracking said that my 722 was "on a truck for delivery today."
But since it's now almost 4:30 and still no bike, I'm beginning to feel like a kid on Christmas who just found out that there is no Santa and dad lost his job so there's no presents either. |
... just remembered how much I love it when the sun shines on wet roads and they put off steam. So rad!

Also, got my Financial report for school next year. With grants and scholarships, I should be getting about a $6k return. Pretty sweet compared to this years $109 return. |
Starting to really prefer night rides, no traffic is great.
