It's a Beautiful Life

WD-40 is an amazing product

This weekend I was overjoyed to have dorm mate Blair repair my bike. It was something akin to Charley Brown wrapping that little blanket around his Christmas tree. It just needed a little love...POOF, fixed. Words can't express the happiness that brings me. I'll go into more detail later. The rest of the weekend was spent avoiding any reading that is required of me. I'm paying for that now. As of today I'm officially not accepting a job for the semester. This should ensure at least two things:
1. I have more time time plan to work, and actually spend it watching movies.
2. You will be able to find me in the park about midway though the semester dancing in a chimp suit for pennies.
I also discovered the importance of the word "launch" this weekend. Launch is such a cool and underused word. For instance, most people say, "My friend tripped on Lucy's huge left foot and dropped his cell phone into the goldfish pond by Lutze." When they could be saying, "My friend tripped on Lucy's huge left foot and launched his cell phone into the goldfish pond by Lutze."
Which sounds cooler? Honestly?

My newly repaired bike has opened my eyes to the wonders of the world once again. Now, rather than walking for 15 minutes in the blistering cold, I can ride for 5 minutes in the mind-bendingly blistering cold and sit in my nice warm room for an extra 10 minutes every day. I must admit, my skills have weakened over the past 2 months. Christmas break and the bikeless first three weeks of class this semester have got me wobbling unsteadily and panicking in tight 5-wide groups of walkers. Before, I effortlessly plowed through the masses while chuckling on the inside at their fear as I raced through them. I can only hope this level of skill returns to me in time. I must find gloves, however, if that is to happen, because without them I'm sure to lose most of my fingers to frostbite.

If you feel any sympathy for my current "poor" situation, please go and buy one of everything in my store. Thaaanks

ROACH! NO!
