I have a nasty cold, so I'll be doing homework.
HOWEVER,
If you're morbidly curious, or looking for a pre-prefunk, I have a group show opening tonight at the UW School of Art. 4-6 pm. Just a block from the CIP. Come a little drunk. See my stuff.

I'll be riding at least for a bit. I rode in to work for the first time and new job and am feeling very self righteous.

Also, almost got blown over this morning. Literally. Wtf? I weigh like 4000lbs?

I'm just getting over a cold, and thusly won't be riding. I've also got a project to work on in lab, so I'll have to be on campus 'til pretty late. With nothing against working drunk, or art, I'll be down to prefunk at CIP and checkout some of Alabama's art, then maybe see the group off in Red Square.

I will definitely ride thursday, though.

Happy Stick Person

It's becoming a Tuesday ritual that I crash my bike on the way to work. I have doubts that it will make it through the winter in one piece. This time, I completely decimated my left pedal and went into a full 20 foot long baseball skid down the middle of John St. towards Broadway. if I thought my hip was messed up before, I had apparently not seen anything yet.

Also, my work schedule has changed so I will no longer be able to attend any Tuesday rides unless I plan way ahead.

If Langston's giving you advice on how not to crash, you really do need to pay more attention.

Hey I'm not afraid to say that I'm a noob when it comes to wet riding. My tires are pretty brand new, but they're Michelin Speediums, so they still get pretty slick. My brake it also brand new, as well as the cabling system. Last time I got cut off, so it really wasn't entirely my fault. This time I was all alone, just tried to take a turn too fast.

If I could afford it, I would totally buy some of that armor.
