if you can't stand the heat...

ok, so the summer time has dragged me away from frivolous computer tasks...
AND, my laptop died a most ignoble death hours after printing off my last paper of the spring semester.

i mis my iBook.
i would desperately love to get a new intel macBook. but... money is a deciding factor, and it decides that i dont get one!

i would however, like to get a sandblaster. so i can more easily prep bikes.
thats right. bicycles.
for painting.
see, Jana let me ride her 3 speed cruiser a few months ago, and i fell in love with it. it was like i was 7 again!
so i researched the hell out of it, and figured i couldnt get a bike that i would like for less than $500. so i thought id build one.
i havve all the parts, and i still plan on doing this, but i lucked into a great cruiser at an auction for $80. and then i bought 4 or 5 more bikes for $5. and picked up a few more here and there... and... now im rebuilding bikes for friends!

almost done classes. which is great.
two 20 pagers to write up on Aristotle. and then im FREE!

uhm... oh yes. i just acquired a position at Russell Books! they asked me if i would like a job this week when i was casually browsing for a book. jordan and andrea are super fantastic and i know im going to llove it there.

and im planning up for a short cruising trip to Hornby island in August! that should be fun. a chance to go sailing on my bigger boat again, and just relax with vuirtually no cares at all!

but for now, i must go back to work so i can afford all these little niceties!
