Watched sherlock holmes yesterday. It was Awesome. Not your average everyday Sherlock Holmes and Watson, for certain, but who would expect such from Guy Ritchey. Lots of wizardry and magic, so you know i was into that.
Got to hang out in OC. Talk about being elbow to elbow with 750 assholes. Not just during the movie. Pretty much all day. At Plum Cafe, the best breakfast restaurant in the WORLD, while my mother in law was taking pictures, she set her camera down, and some rather dainty fellow asked fairly rudely if the camera was on him, recording him. Are you kidding me? I can say with my better-than-rudimentary knowledge of celebrity persona, this dude was nobody special. After i laughed and said no, i agonized over not saying, "Who the hell are you anyways? Also, why would i want to record you eating breakfast? Also, what are you going to do if i am? PLEASE try and do something with my camera, i'll make that coffee mug a permanent part of your body." In general, i dont enjoy confrontation, but with the dillusional and entitled, i make exceptions.

i think its giving me.... the fear
Pretty frustrated. What do you do when the dude who signs your checks tells you to work super hard, pick up the pace, and do it with a smile; and oh, by the way, in 2 months you probably wont have the job anymore.
I also don't take kindly to the fact that when the belt needs to be tightened at one of my jobs, i'm the first to get the chop, because i work harder than everybody else there, being as i have 2 jobs.
maybe this is God telling me i need to beef up the old education. We'll see.

tofu madness
i haven't really noticed any change, other than a little cranky-ness, from my recently adopted dietary plan. i did have some lentil soup from brisket's downtown that was off the chain though. Most under-rated restaurant in redlands.
Along with the increased aggression has come winter cold. i dont have it as bad as Walt, the dude building my bike as referenced here , however, for a california native sub 50 is pretty rough. This also might explain my crankyness of late. Hasn't cut into my riding though, surprisingly enough. Im using thom's demo bike which is one of the new fangled 6-series madones. Pretty cool for a plastic bike.
Along with the drop in temperature has come my desire for a snuggie. I know what you're thiking. Nerd. You're right, but i've never tried to deny it. I want a snuggie so bad! On recovery duty after turner tried to kill me and 8 other dudes on saturday, my blanket was just plain not cutting it. Only a snuggie could provide the solace/freedom to remain cozy whilst playing video games or reading comic books.
Along with the longing for a snuggie has come the desire to cast evil spells on my cats and create some sort of mythical hybrid creature. Although Stubbs already looks like a hybrid bulldog-chipmunk, im looking for something a little more badass. At any rate, here's a behemoth video to satiate any and all desire to cast an evil spell or two. At lease stave it off for a bit, anyways. I think this video best captures why evil will always conquer over good: because good is dumb.

be healthy
So, for the next month or so, i am going to be playing around with my diet.
People say when they go vegetarian, that they feel so much healthier and full of energy and and and etc. etc. etc. Now i think that this is partially placebo effect/bullshit that people say to make you believe what they believe, however, I have done a 6 year stint as a vegan, so i feel like i know how to do it right. I also know how to do it wrong as per the reference i am given by a great many of the vegans i know. If you consume rods whipped topping, or a little debbie donut, or the like in the name of it being coincidentally vegan, you may be standing up for the animals, but i hope you can find one that will stand up for you. If i saw people shoveling garbage into a chicken pen for a chicken to eat, i would stop them, and i freaking hate chickens. Such is the same reason i tell people who shove huge amounts of soy protein and hydrogenated oils into their mouths "hey, that suff would do you more good if you shoved it up your ass..."
If there is something behind this (and you veggie readers of this blog, please, comment) and i can feel better, or have more energy by eating a vegetarian diet, i'm gonna do so. After all, i love fruits and veggies. If there is a fruit or vegetable out there i don't like, i can always find a way to prepare it so i do.
chopper dropped by the shop do get his bike wrenched on. man. i'll let the pics do the talking.
"ive been having a lot of flats lately!" No shit?
"there's a grinding sound every time i steer at somewhat low speeds, like around that corner by the park on sunset..." that's cause half the park is embedded in your head tube sir.
"having a little trouble shifting lately...." that may be due to the fact that the ant magnet you call a bottom bracket shell is a giant sugar cube, sir.
chopper, im just wondering HOW you wiped your ass with your bottom bracket.
Now i'm going to hunt down and kill a falafel sandwich.
