I rode home in the rain today, which is actually an activity I quite enjoy, providing that it is warm rain, nto cold rain. I really love riding in conditions and situations that other folks find far from ideal. Hella hot, major hills, rain, bring it on. I can even add snow to my bag […]

I talked about this skirt ages ago when I had cut it out, but I decidedly took my time working on it. It's done now, and I am going to wear it tomorrow with a red-orange-and-black striped top and red stockings with black fishnets over them. The next thing on my sewing agenda is a […]

1. Does the cafeteria truly need to sell such stank breakfasts so early in the day? I took the elevator up to the 18th floor, where I work, and had to ride 10 of the 18 floors with a couple of ladies who had gotten something foully eggy from the caf. I loathe eggs under […]

A few years ago, I bought some little enamel hair clippies at the local $0.99 Store because I was looking for baubles to hold my ill-chosen bobbed hairdo away from my eyes. In this particular mini-spree, I bought four little daisies, two green, two orange, these being two of my favorite colors out there. Here […]

Some of you who are more Japanese-Pop-Culture-Savvy than I am probably already recognise this little orange-clad elfin girl. You're about a half dozen steps ahead of where I've been for years. Something on the order of four or five years ago, I was buying some jasmine tea at an Asian grocery here in town, and […]

So, when I got home from the 832nd Annual Tour De Cowtown and showed off my ritzy new teeshirt to Todd, he immediately remarked that the design was such that I had a bicycle wheel over each boob. Somehow, this seems quite fitting to me. (also, bleh, I look fat as a woodchuck in this […]

I'm home, sick, once again. That cold I started getting on the weekend incited my lungs to riot, and so, lucky me! I was in the emergency room last night having ridiculous sessions of breathing treatments, resenting the perverseness of my pulmonary system, and obsessing over great big burritos and hot baths (it was cold […]

1. I hit “bag day” at a youth center rummage sale, and bought some FABULOUS 1970s fashions for $1 for the lot. My computer will probably be fixed by Sunday, so I will post up some photos then. Most of the dresses I got are home-made, and I recognise the patterns for two of them. […]

***I went bike racing yesterday, which was, as it always is, Really Big Fun. The weather was a bit uncertain (very grey, mist-drizzling on the way out there, a little windy) but by the time I got out to the track, the precipitation had stopped, and the pavement was dry. It was held out at […]

The computer is still broken. Random crashes. I think it hates my CD/DVD burner. Blargh.
