Thursday

Drank two cups of tea tonight, and let the third one go cold.

Today I was hurled through a spectrum of emotions, and I'm left feeling numb. I am not sad but I am not happy either, instead I sort of slowly move through a haze. I've been really concentrating on my personal projects lately (Writing), along with losing a little itty-bitty teeny-tiny bit of weight and training for speed on my bike. I vaguely structure my time, but if I don't follow the rules, I forgive myself. I'm really focusing on myself and the things that please me. It's a lot of smoking, putting on some incense, some music, and reading delicious fluffy young adult fantasy novels.

I'm also trying to fend off a cold or allergies or something. I've developed an annoying cough. The smoking, of course, does not facilitate my recovery.

I was going to do some writing, but found myself reading and drawing instead. I was always disappointed with my drawings, to be honest, feeling that I could only achieve results after much laboring and erasing, and even then, my results were not what I envisioned. I am learning to unlearn and draw as I used to draw as a kid: which was sitting for hours caressing one graphite line until it curved just so.

Earlier today I caught my bicycles engaged in conversation.



What could they be saying do you think?

They might be discussing my messy messy apartment. And the pink bike is bored, I am certain.

Hurry up with my new tires, Nashbar!

Pink bike (pb): have you been following the tour?

Blue bike (bb): The what?

pb: The Tour de France, only the world's greatest, most epic road bike ride!

bb: I have no idea what you are talking about, i am a mountain bike, I am built for jumping rocks and crossing streams.

pb: (clicking handlebar brakes levers) Well, that explains a lot. Pffft!

bb: hey, what is that supposed to mean?

pb: Nothing, forget about it.

pause...

pb: Hey want to get some gelatto?

bb: You road guys are all the same, aren't you, with the fake Italian stuff...

pb: I am not a guy, i am a girl, hence the pink color - just in case you have not noticed...and i do have campagnolo in my wheels...so, want to get some gelatto or are you just gonna keep on leaning against that wall?

bb: fine , fine Campy girl, but after the gelatto we go jump some curbs, deal?

pb: (smiling) si signore!

bb: what about her (pointing a handlebar end to the girl drawing pictures)...

pb: we'll bring her some ice cream, i hear she likes vanilla..

el fin!
