hundertsechsundneunzig
Category: bikes
This year I have driven 196 miles for work. 176 have been mostly for work in my car, plus 20 for work on Thursday in (e:paul) and (e:terry) car when the streets weren't plowed. Some cheating if you consider I go places with Paul and Terry in a car but if they would bike I would. For reference I tracked 287 miles on my bike this month, 666 for the year, plus whatever I didn't track and what I walked. My goal is to drive under 100 miles a month.

I'm still on the same tank of gas from last year. I can't wait to get rid of the freaking car and the only reason I need it.

Floss Party
Category: teeth
After we got (e:paul) and (e:yesthatcasey) from the airport, we came home with the intention of going out. What we really ended up doing was having a floss party in the bathroom. Eventually we're going to end up circle flossing with one long piece, it'll be so bromantic.

Natasha's Birthday
Category: birthday

Thursday night (e:terry) and I went with (e:Heidi) and (e:Dianne) to Natasha's birthday at Aroma. It was alright, the combination of the darkness and the music made me kind of sleepy. After Aroma closed Terry and I decided to go to Essex with Natasha and Vanessa, so we froze in the bed of John's pickup on the way there.
Vanessa ended up hustling us at pool. Terry almost broke the table and made the bouncer freak out. It was a fun night but way too late for me.

Littering
Category: environment
On the walk back home, I was at Elmwood and Ferry when some asshole at the light threw his trash out the window. I'm normally not an angry person but littering drives me freaking crazy.

I ended up yelling at him, and going to pick up the trash. I also went a little psycho but I probably shouldn't post about what I did. I ended up getting stuck with the trash but he drove away with a spit covered windshield.

Its hard to stop but I should really watch it before I confront the wrong person.

Good for you. People should be ashamed of thowing litter into the street, so maybe the jerk will think twice about it the next time he considers being such a pig. Be careful though; some people are crazy.

Programming and bitterness
Category: programming
Tonight I was on a roll, so after I worked out I headed over to Spot to program. I've been looking at (e:Paul)'s cycles project and its helped me a lot in working on (e:terry)'s form making project, especially in terms of setting up things the right way with MVC and how I want to handle user input. When he was writing it I didn't always understand the code, but now I can sit down and step through it line by line it's a lot clearer.

Anyway I actually got coffee at spot. Lately I've liked the taste of coffee. I used to hate all bitter things like dry wines, hoppy beers and dark chocolate but for some reason in the past year or two it has been different. I guess I've either adjusted to them as I've had it more or my tastes have changed? Definitely had more of all these things with Paul and Terry. The sweet tooth has not gone away though.

Agave is now open where Blue Fin was. I really want to try it especially since its supposed to have a different menu than Don Tequila.

That is true. I definitely have less of an urge to down a bag of candy hearts than I did before though. Or maybe I am just have more willpower?
ExBuffalonian - 02/26/14 16:59
I wouldn't expect your sweet tooth to ever be replaced by your new appreciation for bitter tastes. If anything, one might enhance the other. There's nothing better than bitter coffee and something sweet to go with. Also dry red wine and chocolate are pretty amazing together too!
