And the winner is...

Isn't it funny how time flies? It seems like just a couple hours ago I was leaving work, and already it's after 11pm! I suppose I have accomplished a fair amount in that time - biked from work home, bought groceries, ate some oreos from said groceries, cooked supper, ate less than I would've if I hadn't eaten said oreos, and discussed both hokey psychosomatic theories (applied kinesiology) and sociological theories that have been heavily applied to Judeo-Christian theology (thank you René Girard) with my cousin-roommate. Wow! What a night! And now I sit here at our kitchen table looking down at the cars cruising Lakeshore Drive. There are still quite a few out there, thought not as many as during rush hour, when I get to bike faster than they drive. There's a certain (rather smug) satisfaction in passing vehicles -on bicycle- that cost more than I'll probably spend on my next three cars combined.

Well, it's been over three weeks since Cameron and I moved into our new apartment; we finally got internet in here over the weekend after six (yes, count them: SIX) AT&T technicians came out to do varying levels of not-really-being-able-to-help and too much time on hold on the AT&T help line. But we have it now. And furniture. And a TV to watch movies on (haven't hooked up to an antenna yet). And a bathtub that drains. And most of our pots-n-pans off the counters. And, AND (this is a good one), and someone finally moved in to sublet my old apartment until my lease is up in September. On Sunday I gave him my key and he gave me a check for the rest of May. It feels good to have that out of the way.

But anyways, it's time for bed. My contacts are dry and my eyes are sleepy and, thanks to two 25 mile rides over the weekend, I'm already getting the cyclist's tan-lines (socks and gloves included). Yeah, nothing really interesting to add to this one. Except maybe that 'Where the Wild Things Are' is an awesome movie.
