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)

I forgot to mention that. Torchlight 2 will blow D3 out of the water if you liked D2.

What troubles are you facing?
Just some win8 growing pains... worse is it is a mobility radeon.

I have had win8 running on my primary rig w/ nvidia cards in SLI w/o a hitch since launch and it's created a furry warm illusion for the nightmare that I'm having now with this laptop.

The sqrl and I were having a conversation about shoes. She liked a pair of cordovan oxfords, but didn't know what cordovan was. I told her. She no longer likes them.

I'm now spending the rest of my night sending her pictures of baby horses, followed up by pictures of shoes.

Vegan?

Anyhow, knock on wood, many parts of the horse is used besides for consumption
Even a horse that died from natural causes is still feasible in some shape or form.

Showed up to comic shop karaoke in bibs, jersey, and SIDI's. Instantly had my wife asserting herself after chicks decided they liked cyclist legs in spandex. Bought the Anthony Bourdain comic book. Now I'm drinking Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout from Flying Dog and playing video games. Not a bad evening.

I had a univega alpina pro, got it back in the late 90's. I put a Manitou II fork on it, had to replace a rear wheel along the way, but otherwise mostly stock. Long story short, that bike was so old and worn out, when i tried getting back into biking this year, every time i hopped on the thing something broke or needed work. It took two days to give it away on craigslist. But thats how i ended up buying my sst al singlespeed which has been making me feel lime a kid every time i ride it.

Today I was supposed to work. A coworker agreed to cover my shift and we emailed the request to HR yesterday. I went to bed happy last night. Woke up happy today.

Then, 15 minutes before the start of that shift, I get a text from the coworker saying she'd emailed HR to cancel the request. No big emergency. She just changed her mind cause she had some last-minute brunch or some silly **** like that.

"sorry, hope you understand" is the last thing she writes.

Yes, I understand that you totally threw me under the bus. I hope YOU'll understand that I'm throwing you back under it with this email I just wrote to HR and CC'ed you on.

Enjoy your brunch.

Today, I'm heading down to Providence RI because I will be performing in this:




But before, perhaps during, and maybe after the show, I'll be riding around the city on this:




Slim chance, but if you're there for the show, hunt down Mike from Pine Tree State Mind Control and I will give you a free PTSMC shopping bag.
