Last night I had a great opening premiere and today, after eight long months, I am officially done with my documentary on printmaking. If any of you would care to see it, here's the link: https://vimeo.com/58793706

Haha, I'm filing today and I need to figure out why I owe 3 grand instead of getting money back. I just need to accept that getting a real paying job and working for the state means coughing up at tax time.

Today I realized I bought whipped cream cheese at the grocery store yesterday. This stuff is like 50% air. Disappoint.

Today I had a really painful but low miles day at the track. Team pursuit training is ouch. Flying 500m efforts are more ouch.

Today I have the best super-fluorescent hot pink manicure. Last night I rode my bike around to Kuma's for burgers and beers (no wait thanks to Superb Owl) and Holiday Club to watch the second half of the game. Tested out my new gloves (Pearl Izumi PRO softshell lobster) and goggles (Tropos Boogie Goggles) and loved them both. I haven't been drinking a lot lately so two strongish beers at Kuma's and one PBR pint at Holiday made for a fun tipsy ride home.

Today I may go back to Holiday Club for beers and karaoke. I really want to sing a Robyn song but there aren't any I know well enough. Yet.
