Won't someone think of the homophobes and bigots?

[theinevitable]

Went to the birthday party of my mega-hotttt friend who I have had the biggest crush on for years. Met her boyfriend who I kind of wanted to hate. He is a really nice guy and I think we are friends now. I went on my classic St Louis rant to these silly hipsters (art galleries and indie bands are all well and good, but sometimes this city's elite pretends that only Hipsters and Yuppies live in this city-- what about the other ~200k people here?). He was a fan, invited me to go on a float trip next weekend, and gave me his business card.

Today I am invited to a BBQ, but the hosts refuse to answer their phone to tell me where they live. Really guys?

I guess the worst that can happen is having a ton of watermelon lemonade for the next week...

I guess you'll just have to get some vodka to mix with that watermelon lemonade, Dan.

You know what they say, when life gives you lemonade, just add booze.

$34 in parts and 2.5 hours.

Repair shop wanted $294. Fuck them right in the neck.

I have no idea what is going on in that photo, so in my case $294 is a worth throwing money at such a problem.

I don't even know what part of what thing that is a photo of.

And I wish I had some watermelon lemonade, that sounds fantastic.

Now this is a total guess:  vehicle breaks?

Today I am going to hear someone say "Land Shark". That reference has to be 35 years old. I have a hard time believing the person who said it ever actually saw it.

That would put me at 5 years younger than the skit, but I have seen it thanks to Comedy Central reruns and the like. Are you suggesting that other kids in my generation didn't spend 6 hours a day watching the looping content on Comedy Central?

Is that the floor of your garage Ash?  It looks disturbingly, unnervingly clean.  As the daughter of an autobody teacher, I always think people with clean garage floors must have either soft, uncalloused hands and a lack of practical skill in regard to repairs, or a lot of bodies buried in their back yard.    Since you don't fit into category A...  I'd prefer to re-examin and add a catagory C.

Today I thought I did something really stupid to my car. It turned out that I had done a different stupid thing that was easy to fix. Remember to put caps back where you found them, people.

I have decided that I am not going to pay anyone to do anything to my bike. When I bought my new seat the guy somehow talked me into paying him 5$ to PUT THE SEAT ON THE BIKE FOR ME. That is not happening again. And since a bike can't explode and only cost 140$, I will not feel too bad if I screw it up somehow. My old roommate gave me a book about fixing bikes for my birthday, so I am committed to learning how to fix this thing. If only something would go wrong so I could learn how to fix it!

The watermelonade is really disappointing and I'm not sure why. Three people have tried it, and I have gotten the following suggestions:
1. more lemon
2. more watermelon
3. more sugar
so I guess I can rule out it needing more... water?

We have these awesome anarchist cyclists here who host a few volunteer centres around the city where they teach people how to fix their bikes  for free and offer parts from salvaged bikes they've collected.  It's a really interesting place to check out and a unique little subculture of folks with deep rooted politics that somehow all boil down to empowerment and bikes.  My bike is in dire need of a tune up, and I'd like to relearn what to do myself.  I brought it to them a couple years ago when I had a problem, but I can't recall most of what they showed me.  Maybe if I film them this time I could reference the clip when I need another turn up.  I wonder if they'd be game for that.  I've had a bit of trouble comprehending their politics in the past and at one point offended one of them for reasons I can't quite understand.

There is a weird anarchist bike thing here too. Also I got my bike from a place that teaches kids/teens to fix bikes, but not adults. My friend brought his bike there and they acted like he was crazy for thinking they would have anything to do with his bike.

Just went on a 12 mile night bike ride all over the south half of the city. Even went over a bridge and into a neighboring town for about ten minutes. Holy crap that was fun. Of course, I managed to drop my cell phone and shatter the screen. Also almost ate it when I was going really fast down a hill and hit a pothole. Adrenaline! Whooo! I am going to buy some gloves.

Perhaps all three of those comments actually equal, LESS water?

Do they still have the Moonlight Ramble?

[theinevitable]

there is still the moonlight ramble, and then there is also the FBC (fuck*ng Bike Club) who go on huge disorganized bike rides around the city whenever there is a full moon.
