Little things.

With daylight savings time, I switched back to bicycling to work. Today was my first day.

So.. I got a flat on my way home tonight. I give up. I bought the damn heavy tire and telfon strip thing for my rear tire. It won't help, I know the world will find some way to burst my tire within a week but I f***ing give up. I'm sick of having to change tubes and it's ALWAYS the rear tire! Why!?!?!

This time it was A PIECE OF A RAZOR BLADE! Seriously. There just HAPPENED to be a bit of razor blade stuck somewhere at JUST THE RIGHT ANGLE to penetrate into my tire. *sigh* anyhow, Stacey change the tire for me this time.

I made her dinner. Salmon burgers with a cream sauce I made out of onion, avacado, cucumber and some korean herb I can't remember the name of now. (It was somewhere between cilantro and mint in flavor) The cream sauce was a little bitter but the multi-grain bread was a little sweet, so it came out very nicely balanced. All in all. Delicious.

Other little things.

Yesterday I bought bleach. Oooh... I'm going to make my hair purple for real this time. I also just got out of the shower after shaving _everything_ Goddess I feel so much better now! I hadn't done that in a month. Mmm. Smooth!

Last night, I was a giant snail. :) Sometimes Second Life is just too cool. I went to the giant snail races and I discovered that not only could I just sit and watch giant snail races (I mean how cool is that just in and of itself) But no! I could also _BE_ a giant snail and join the race!

I am working on an improved version of my BVH exporter. Once that's done, lots of things I want to animate. Also pondering various money-making schemes. I've got some programming and art/animation ideas for second lifebut at 40 cents per 1000 lindens, that's not a good solution. Furry art? Ha. Like I'm good enough to get comissions. Hmm. Maybe if I animated h0t wolfboi porn... Anyhow. I definetely need some better ideas.

I need to submit Free as a Bird to some animation festivals. It's a 5 minute film, and it's at least mediocre compared to festival stuff I've seen.

Longterm, I now have a plan for world non-domination. It'd take me at least 15 years though. Step one is some public speaking and debate classes. So I may investigate that for next quarter. I honestly do think that if I worked at it, I could achieve world non-domination within 15 years. Time will tell, I suppose.

Still no word from my cousin. :/

I've had the worst goddamn luck with my car's tires. I think i've replaced like 10 tires since moving to portland, including having a tire and rim stolen from my car when I went inside to get it replaced. The good news is now I'm an Indy 500 pro at changing tires. >_

I had the locks punched on a loaner car in front of the repair shop that it belonged to - right after I'd stall-jumped it into another car and broke the headlights out of it (no other damage, annoying).

I'd swear the unsafest place for a car is at a repair place parking lot.

It is always the rear tire. You know why? Because when you run over the debris with the front tire, it picks it up just enough so that it's pointing upward and impales the rear tire. One time I got a point-less nail driven through the tire and Mr. Tuffy that way, and let me tell you something about Mr. Tuffy: if it's anything stronger than a thorn, he folds up like a greeting card.
