I didn't know what


...day it was. That used to make sense during the summer, but summer is nearly over and I still haven't been paying attention. Working, sewing, reading, drinking, baking, riding, sleeping, not drinking coffee or smoking cigarettes or making any effort to talk to people (excpetions-you know who you are?). That about sums it up for me, but (mostly) it's enough to distract me. Whatever... I hope you're having the best summer of your life.

Oh yeah- And the summer song is still just as elusive as it was two months ago. What is up with that?!

For your "Safety"

Drug tests are such a joke. I'm not a stoner. Seriously, I'm not. I'm also not a total newcomer to weed though and summer so far has felt rather long and appropriate for mild usage (am i right? am I right?). First I was worried when I found out that I would be required to take a drug test for my newest job but it was really all for nothing. A week drug free and about a gallon of water will pretty much put anyone in the clear, apparently. It's so pointless, but hopefully the world will feel safer knowing that a druggie hasn't been helping them.

Also, my brother recently got a ticket while riding his bike. He rode through a crosswalk while someone was walking through the other end of it. Again, I hope that the world feels much safer now that he is $411 poorer. Surely we can all learn a valuable lesson on the importance of bike safety and the glorious and just legal system that will fine bikers more than they would drivers speeding 40 miles over the limit. I will be able to sleep easy tonight. Beware all you bike enthusiasts who don't feel the need to stop at stop signs at the bottom of hills or who are crazy enough to ride anywhere downtown, among many other possible bike related infractions. Justice will be served!

When The Lights Go Down In The City...

...hundreds of bikers gather to watch a pretty badass movie called MASH about being insane on bikes in SF. Like insane and amazing. I'm not even going to pretend like I know anything about bikes (...like, I think you ride them or something) but I was totally blown away by this movie. It made me (of all people) want to ride bikes...and bikers*. Damn. Hotties on bikes in San Francisco. But besides that aspect of it, just watching MASH was a total adrenalin rush. I don't think I've ever been in a louder theater or sworn that much while watching a movie. Good .
