doing things to david’s mule

This is when I like seeing a girl on a bike. Fully clothed and throwing a barspin.

-John Prolly

Since moving to Brooklyn, I’ve wanted to hit up the Peel Sessions on Thursdays, but I am a total pussy. Every tiny Korean girl on Fixed Gear Girls is 140% more badass than me. That goes without saying I guess. Maybe Matt Mispagel will move to New York, and we can do wheelies together.

This afternoon, I had an interview for a job.

Later, I ate chili and watched Appa get heartbean. DM talked about his droopy sash.

la belle chat sans merci

Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has wither’d from the lake,
And no birds sing.

Entirely unsure as to how I ended up reading Keats today, but it happened.

Further confusion persists regarding where the rest of my day went.

We all work for someone.

I met a lady in the meads,
Full beautiful — a faery’s child,
Her hair was long, her foot was light,
And her eyes were wild.

She took me to her elfin grot,
And there she wept, and sigh’d fill sore,
And there I shut her wild wild eyes
With kisses four.

And this is why I sojourn here,
Alone and palely loitering,
Though the sedge is wither’d from the lake,
And no birds sing.

how did you get in my bed

Friday, February 12th, 2010

seriously, you were what – hiding inside a pillow case?

Everyone cross your fingers. I don’t want to say for what yet. Lord Sauron has many spies… many spies with many eyes. Just keep ‘em crossed.*

The past week has been a boon. Cloud 9 the whole time. It started about 25ish minutes into Lobo on Friday. Waking up in amazing early light on Saturday. Sunday, all of it. Shower. Nap. Snacks for dinner. Commonwealth on Monday. Snoday Wednesday. Intermittent Harry Potter throughout. It may have something to do with my new girlfriend, Dinah.

I do hate Foodtown now, however.

I play against robots.

Why is there wrapping paper in my bed? Whenever I end up at my place alone, I get confused as to when I’m supposed to go to sleep.

*Even if you were born with crossed fingers and have to wear special gloves.

Like the mighty fist of God, armageddon will descend upon the city of Los Angeles.

American Healthcare: Caught in a Bad Romance

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Putting together the newsletter, I found a post by Ian Morrison with the above title on THCB. Best excerpts below.

I want your Ugly. I want your Disease
I want your Everything, as long as it’s Free.

—America’s leading contemporary philosopher, Stefani Germanotta (aka Lady Gaga)

Insight comes from unlikely sources. Lady Gaga nailed the health reform dilemma. We have a healthcare delivery system that is an orgy of profligacy and excess that offers the false promise of making ugliness, disease and death all optional. And, we the public love all of it, as long as it’s free, at least to us as individuals.

And later:

Doesn’t the premium come out of my pocket as taxpayer, employee or individual? How can I have everything, as long as it’s free?

We are caught in a Bad Romance with healthcare.

doin’ pretty good as far as geniuses go

Thursday, February 4th, 2010

Moving camera from pocket to pocket on my ride.

Feeling out of place and like everything is volatile when I’m not and nothing is. QQ moar.

I need to get back to being unfazeable. That was good times. Everyone also told me I was an unfeeling robot. Imagine me doing that thing where you are mime-weighing two items in your hands making a face like, “shrug”. That’s what I’m doing in my mind.

Road down to Bay Ridge with the Pake on my back after Google lied to me about where the shop was. Back at 47th, got the fork/stem/bars slapped on. She’s coming together.

Met up with CST in Manhattan. Hunted for dresses. Hunted for vegan-friendly foodness. Found myself two new coats, free drinks, and an invitation to The Box for more libations.
Too much city, too tired, next time.

an addendum of sorts

Sally Hansen 28: Black Out

There was no point in spoiling my last post with needless words.

I picked up the l.e. purple Pake for this chick I know for this day that is coming up. It needed to be done. [Redacted] was too far away to wait to start building, and I needed an excuse. This thing is going to be coveted.

Bike nerds: afaik the purple Pake is the only one keeping the curved, lugged fork. They’re going straight blade with all of the new forks / color options.

Also bike nerds: the logos come thoughtfully slapped on over the clear coat. I love you, Pake.
I love you for this.

After using one a razor blade to strip half of the Mercier’s many logos, I have a newfound appreciation for Pake’s approach to decals. I went with the razorblade-then-polish option. Things turned out alright, all things considered.

Clicking this link will take you to a picture of William and his mohawk on the subway.
