ickaimpInteresting day today...
My bicycle needed a tune up (cars aren't the only mode of transportation that needs tune-ups!), and the 2 closest to me have been pissing me off lately. Gee, I've got bumpers, so I must not know anything about my bike ~_~;; (*sarcasm* I only -ride- it 6-10 miles a day...)
So took it to a new place. The owner of the shop then proceeded to quiz me on how I ride my bike and showed me how to adjust the bike to work the muscles for A: Better performance and B: to tone your hips, belly, shoulders and thighs.
One problem is that it means my knees repeatedly hit my rather ample chest and that just ain't gonna work. No bouncy bouncy, thank you.
The other main problem is that when you're crouched down like that, you can't see the cars around you quite as well and the most DEFINATELY ain't gonna work. I like to see the massive metal projectiles of doom, thank you. Having your arms down like that means you can't do the quick turns that riding on the streets with mad homicidal drivers demands either.
... My bike riding style has been described as 'Suicidal' and 'Aggressive' before. I consider it loose and fluid. It keeps me alive. ^__^
One of his other comments was that if I kept riding like that and kept a band-aid over my mouth, I'd be proud of how I looked in a spandex bike jersey someday.
If anyone's seen my full body chibi-self portraits, you'll note that I wear ankle-length skirts and long sleeved blouses. This is standard. I don't CARE if I look good in spandex, long skirts and blouses are comfortable, versatile and I like wearing them. Nyeh.
... he just wanted to see boobage, the pervert.
But he knew his stuff, so we'll over look it. Although one of these days I'd like to find out why it's always the old geezers that hit on us.
So now I have a fish in my bag, waiting to go back on the bike. Fred doesn't like the chains.
Stopping by the local theatre was neat, bunch of teens hanging around for Jason vs Freddy. The best part was that there was a totally awesome Jason wandering around, with ribs and half chewed off face sticking through a damaged hocky mask. I gave him a hug. Dude as cool.
And the best part, WE HAVE SOCKS!
Most women's socks don't fit, they're too small. So several years ago, we decided that if we were gonna wear men's socks, we were gonna wear the most hideous coloured and patterned socks we could find.
But today, when passing through the strange and unusual socks, we discovered that they now sell 'extended sizes' in some styles, meaning FUNKY SOCKS! THAT FIT!!!
*paroxysms of delight*
They had some white socks with paw prints, or VW bugs or Horses or smilies or butterflies on them. They were okay, but absolutely flipped when we found blue socks with white clouds on them and slightly darker blue socks with stars and moons on them. XD XD XD
Will be wearing one of each tomorrow.
*bounces around happily*
… AstroBoy:Rebirth is much fun too. Atlas is cute when he doesn’t look like his human self. Bit angsty though.
