Thursday, October 20, 2005 A clean bike is a healthy bike. Yesterday during my lunchtime rush (I thought "repos" meant "rest"!) I decided that it was time to wash and re-lubricate my bike. Holy moly what a difference that made. I thought my bike was fine before, but it's so nice when everything moves smoothly and quietly. It also helps a lot to have tires that are pumped up to a proper pressure.

Work continues on the website, but I'm currently having an annoying creative cramp. The one thing I hate about websites is making them not look crappy. I really can hardly wait until this part is done(ish) and I can start working on the back end. I long for the expansive coding sessions of the days of yore. Give me C or give me death! Well, maybe not quite that dramatically (since I'll be coding in PHP)... but it would be nice to not be doing graphics work for which I'm poorly prepared.

In any case, things are going well. Stacey prepared a delicious Mexican dinner last night with Spanish rice, refried beans and tortillas. I also got a tip about where I can find black beans. That's one step closer to the Chile Pepper's Nachos I so richly desire. This weekend though I think I'm going to take the plunge and buy some meat. I did before under the guise of hamburgers... but I think I want steak and mashed potatoes. Mmmmm. I also want to grind some beef to make chili. Why you ask? Well, because I have hot dogs... and there is only one thing between me and Chili Dogs. That given, the only thing between me and an Oki Dog is pastrami. I wonder how you make pastarami....?
