yay materialism

So, I am moved in.

My entire life is still in boxes, the Ikea furniture is still unbuilt, my clothes are decorating the floor, but I put my stuffed gecko on the shelf above my TV and arranged all my photography books in order of size and my cookbooks in order of food-type/frequency of use..... so everything else, really, is gravy.

And I have some news!

I BOUGHT A NEW BIKE! (as if you didn't see that coming)

So, goodbye D50, goodbye going out for dinner, goodbye buying coffee for friends, goodbye everything but paying off my bike. And riding it. These two things are all I am going to be able to do. But that's OK because, shit man, it is so purdy.

That's the news from here. Happy dance.

Hachi Machi! That's a pricey bike.

My bike turns 23 years old this year. Happy birthday, you piece of crap.

Wwwwwwoooooowwwwww. I wish my bike was that cool. The one I have is about seven years old and broken beyond caring. I have bad luck with bikes, not unlike computers.

Welcome to the Santa Cruz owners' club! Keep in mind riding a Santa Cruz is a little different, and requires some skills you don't need with other bikes. To make the most of your new Santa Cruz, between rides you should practice a few exercises.

First, lift your head 45 degrees and point your nose down at people who ride anything else. Second, try saying elitist things like, "oh dear, is that a Giant? How very gauche!"

Ok I'm being a sarcastic ass, but it's true. Santa Cruz owners are kinda snobby. I should know, I own a Chameleon.
