Today...

Some things that happened today:
  1. A random person stopped me on the sidewalk today to ask me about my bike and where I got it and such. They said they have been scoping it out the past few days on the bike rack at the UMC and that they really like it. I didn't get the impression that they meant that in a "I was scoping it out to steal it" sort of way, but rather the "I was scoping it out because it's neat" sort of way.
  2. Corgie Man was telling some more apparent strangers about his stupid dog while he was taking it out for a dump on the Norlin quad.
  3. Hair-eating-comment-blurting-guy was blurting out more unneccesary commentary in my semantics class (as usual, nothing new there) and some people around me started to comment about how annoying he is, thus validating my own feelings towards him. We all wish we could vote him out of the class (and perhaps into law school). I'm pretty sure that our teacher would second that vote.
  4. For lunch I had a day-old microwaved Taco Bell Chalupa... possibly (hopefully) the culinary low point of the week...

YouTube is down for maintenance at the moment, so there's no video today...

I've never seen your bike but you said it's a fixed gear. From the sound of that, I'm sure you have to pedal backward to brake like a 10 year old.

Yes, Vina Muse is awesome!!! haha

To Tavie, I don't have a good response to your dig on my bike, but yes, back-pedalling is one way to slow down, but I also have a handbrake like a big kid. And actually, unless you rode a tricycle when you were ten, then the kind of back-pedalling you are talking about is different. This is more like how you have to back pedal to stop a tricycle than the backpedalling you have to do on like a cruiser bike. :-)
