Different kind of bleh.

Found myself missing one of my favourite people pretty hard later into the evening tuesday, which made it extra nice to have her ringing me up on IM as soon as I arrived home. Made for chatting until wee hours, of course, and it was very nice, but I fell right back into missing her after. Bleh.

Okay, so while spending an evening wednesday with azrhey isn't strictly "me time", it's good time! Talked about stuff, which I'm finding we hardly ever have time to. Triggered some of the bleh of tuesday at times, but overall was quite nice.

Today went really well at work, where I got a new toy to make my life easier. Okay, so it's intangible, but it makes stuff appear pee-coloured on my screen! Believe it or not, this is good. The explanation went something along the lines of "when it's pee, it stink, but it's manageable, when it's red, though, it's all bad!".

And jimmysworld provided a nearly continuous stream of profanities since mid-afternoon. Quite amazing!

Now, to go home and do some of that cleaning too. And look for a job in France or something. Gah.

Me and an expensive hunk of metal and rubber.

Here's a photo from before we went up for the first time, including dorky rental helmet (not that the rest of my biking stuff doesn't look dorky to start with!). It's a bit hard to see, but it was interesting to notice the lack of a front derailleur (just one not-so-big chainwheel in front), and having sprockets all around to keep the chain in place, which helped immensely. For those who wonder, when the suspensions are fully compressed, the tires are quite close to the frame, yes. The rear wheel goes back when compressed, adding stability. These bikes are awesome.
