Ow, My Knee!

For some reason, my left knee hurts. It has hurt for a couple days. I'm not biking tomorrow or Friday in hopes that the knee will feel better by race time. It's only when I bend it at a certain angle (an angle that is required to propel my bike). I guess the upside of 8am classes is that they make it easier to find parking.

'07 Bonnie & Clyde

Melissa's having a party the week after mine, with a theme of "famous couples or trios." I'm going with Ashley as Bonnie & Clyde. I need to find a pinstripe gangster hat. I think I'm going to buy an inflatable Thompson submachine gun (tommy gun) from the party shop.

Interesting story how I found my other half for the famous couple. More or less facilitated by Melissa. Ashley had told me that she was going as one of Charlie's Angels (I don't know who she was paired up with). Now we need to get together and plan our outfit...

I said we should hold up the people at the party. She thought that was lame and we'd just get made fun of. We'll see what happens.

Pick #16

Hey Mercedes - 11 to Your 7

Roommate

So, Nick moved in a week ago. It's nice to have someone around the house. He was home when I got home from school today. How cool is that? We've had dinner together a couple nights. He uses the wireless internet. He likes the hammock (who doesn't?). It's nice to share my space again.

It's also nice to have somebody to talk to in person. Or have a competition with. We had a pull-up contest last night (I won!). I think we're going to try to do that regularly. But right now, I'm still sore from last night's efforts.

Actually having somebody here made me actually DO some of the projects that I've been thinking about. For instance, the guest bath now has shelves. Granted, there're only 2 up there right now. I might put up another one in the guest bath and put one in my bath b/c I like them so much.

Definitely better than living alone.

Pick #15

Mountain Goats - First Few Desperate Hours from the Tallahassee album

I would pick "No Children," but Mike D's probably already got you liking that one.

Dadasaurus Rex

Sometime last year, in the course of procrastinating, I came across this comic strip. You have to check a few of them out for them to start getting funnier. It's kinda funny that they always use the same animations. One of my favorites is about the Toyota Prius.

Comedown

Man, I realized tonight what the comedown sensation is for someone on drugs. I guess I've had the sensation before, but never made the association.

I got to hang out with Sarah for a little bit, which I thoroughly enjoyed. When we parted, I went from the high state to the part where the chemicals wear off. I was in a slump until I finished my dinner, which was about 75 minutes later.

It is a rather unpleasant feeling. But I guess it's worth the high, which is why people keep going back to the rock. Unfortunately, I can't just go down to the corner and pick up a few grams of "friend"...but if I could, I might get hooked on the stuff.
