the other day, don't remember which day specifically, i tried to add non-dairy creamer to my coffee even though it wasn't hot enough to fully dissolve the powder. i drank it anyway with those little clumps floating, swirling at the top. one of them got stuck in the back of my throat. and since they only really dissolve in hot liquids, i wasn't able to wash it away by drinking water. and i had to get going, so i had that little nuisance in the back of my throat until some point in the afternoon when i realized it was gone

i thought i was gonna need a new chain for my bike but it turns out all i had to do was apply excessive oil to it. i removed the rack and crate on the back to make it lighter. it handles better now. i can sprint again. riding home last night felt easy. i need an actual backpack now though. i don't like how it feels to have a messenger bag. it strains my shoulders unevenly

there was this copy of 'la subasta' that was in my house when i first got back. pm the front page was this small square dedicated to george bush. it read, 'adios presidente bush'. i had a good idea for it. was gonna use that in a collage of sorts but i kept forgetting to grab it and it was eventually thrown out. i found this fortune cookie fortune that read, 'believe in miracles'. that would've been great. too bad
