maybe i'm missing out.

1) loveland ski area is opening tomorrow. wednesday, OCTOBER FKN 7TH!!!! WHAT??!! it's still summer in ballard!!!!!

2) skating rinks. cos i'm SO graceful, i should be out there, "makin tha chicks", "droppin" some sick "pick me up" lines. i can do better than that "los angeles" dude!!! WATCH THIS: "have you seen my heart anywhere? no? you sure? COS YOU JUST STOLE IT!" HAHAHAHA. wait. that's not at all the same. and actually, being skated around a rink by someone who appears to be good at it sounds kinda fun. um, lemme get back to you.

3) my coworker says he's gonna take some classes at the art institute, or as he calls it, "AI". i'm jealous. I WANNA DEGREE IN "AI"!! what better thing to know in these troubled times than how to build robots who have personalities? i could create my own friends. have them grow sporty "moustachios". teach them how to "drop" some good "convos" about "politik". MAYBE WE COULD MAKE A MOVIE TOGETHER! CALL IT "A.I.". wait. that's already been done. um, lemme get back at ya.

4) there's an older woman at the "computations consolium" next to me. she's carrying a righteous "hairsnet", sorta like an older white woman's "venison" of the "archetypical" hispanic gangster "hairsnet". except she isn't wearing a gun. i could carry a "hairsnet"! wait. i'm "balding". um, lemme get back to you.

5) chipotle burritos. a friend texted me today to say she was tired, an hour and a half from the end of a meeting, and to say "I WANT A CHIPOTLE BURRITO RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!" i told her i din't believe in "chipotle burritos" cos i'd never seen one. she said i was silly, that they do indeed exist, possibly curated by "faeries".

6) there are three people palping laptops in the "us bancorp reading room". just think: if i wore a laptop, I COULD BE IN THE "US BANCORP READING ROOM" TOO!!!!

in other news, today was "one of those days". i toasted a brand new bearing cartridge on 3 grand worth of "classic blur" by santa cruz. (incidentally, i HATE that company. arrogant southern "californica" surfer jerks.) smashed my finger with a hammer doing so. installed a new "hydro" brake on a different--and i do mean "different"--dude's bike, noticed it was squishy--which is good in suspension, bad in braking--and proceeded to bleed it twice, each of which was less effective than the other. and MY SHIRT HAS MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF STAINY BIDNESS ALL UP IN THE FRONT!!!! it's my favouritist brown t-shirt, too. it says "beecher's hand made chesse" on the back. i said something about this to another friend and she said to "think of how funny a fat motorcycle cop looks." not too "curatorically sensitative", but it definitely cheered me up. after i got up from falling over.

a'ight. ima go call my brother and yell at him for living in CO, land of REALLY EARLY SKI SEASONS . (though the "skiing" they do resembles nothing i've seen in the cascades. the "telemarkers" in CO are actually "balleritos", and the alpiners are afraid of sliding snow. they call 40 degree pitches "xtreme", think 6 inches is a "hella deep day" and call anything over 8% "concrete". to quote "jay-z"--or what is kanye?--"NUH UH. CAN'T TELL ME NUH' EN!") peace.
