2 months is a long time.

in that time i've accomplished many things, including becoming a french "shef", learning how to "sale" and learning how to "ride" my bike "uphill". right now, "tha" woman beside me is working out. i figured i'd do the same. since i'm the modern equivalent of a cross between hermes and hercules, i figured i'd collect some random thoughts.
firstly, i'm only a few weeks away from being thirty (well, 8 months and change). this is a few things for me. scary, interesting, boring, frightening, relieving and the like. someone once told me that "23 is the last time i felt young." interestingly, she still works at the same albertsons thats she worked at when she was 16. i saw her the other day, and i think she recognised me, but i said what i usually do. ". . ."
secondly, it's snowing in some hills. this is happy-making. granted, i saw snow in the wallowas in late august, but still.
thirdly, i'm listening to a bob marley song. haven't "purposefully" done that since "gradumeticulating" from green river gator college in 1932. it's kinda nice.
fourthly, october is been okay. my seattle roomies kicked me out back in september, and i've been crashing in rural not-tacoma-and-not-puyallup. on a small plot with chickens. that make soufflés for us. and find time to procreate. the chicks are now just small, chirping chickens and maybe a rooster, but they're still way cute.
fifthly, my seattle roommates kicked me out in late september. this is now a good thing, early frustrations aside. i've been riding my bike 30 miles a day, 3 miles of hill at the end of the day inclusive. i look like thor hushovd winning the rainbow jersey (go norge!!!!!!) except for the paunch and "moobs" and "foo mann choo" that he is sorely lacking and the '90 schwinn tempo with "downtoob shifties" where he's on the newest cervèlo sprinting machine.
sixthly, i miss mighty-o doughnuts. and elysian pumpkin beer. and feeling underdressed in every situation. (well, maybe not that last one.) and mighty-o doughnuts.
seventhly, i'm getting a new cousin-in-law. i'm sure i'm sposeta be stoked, but this is getting old. most of my cousins are married. i have fewer and fewer of my 38 cousins to commiserate with over the unfairness of the tax code and the "groutness" of gillian welch. granted, i've never done either of those things with my cousins, but time is running short to do so.
eighthly, i like eggs. eggs are good.
ninthly, last week, i rode a buncha bridges out at black diamond that have previously stymied me. i felt like darren "bearclaw" barrecloth getting sicker thirty feet over some tabletop throwin down a sick superman seat grab. and not crashing like he did so righteously in "seasons".
tenthly, we've been "slaying" some "sick edits" at the shop for a couple months, such as the above-mentioned "seasons" and the other two collective edits, some DH racing flicks from "britton" and some "freeride" edits from "new world disorder". i can now define the "freeride mountain bike seen" thusly: "it's gnarly, bro, gnarly, gnarly, gnarly." totally pro, indeed.
eleventhly, i kinda like lucinda williams. this has been hard, cos i still hate her voice. but she seems honest, whether she is or not.
twelfthly, ich habe viel hunger. ich muss abend essen machen.

cheese, beer and doughnuts!!!!!!!
