What a busy week. Today is the first time in ages I’ve been at home with a chance to sit down. I’ve been spending the morning unpacking and putting things away from last weekends camping trip. When I got back I was really tired. Monday I don’t even remember.
Tuesday I went on a .83 ride. After we left the UD and headed for Georgetown the group got split in to and those of us in the back stuck behind to help a new person with some mechanical problems. Once downtown, one person in our group decided we were going a certain way. I don’t know him, so I don’t know if he was drunk, caught up in wanting to be right, or just an ass, but it was frusting. He wanted to take fifth, and I complained about going up the hills just to come down them again. So we took third, which has terrible lights as it’s the two way street stuck between two one way streets. I wanted to take second, which is one way southbound with timed lights.
In the end I didn’t really give a fuck which way we went, but he was being an ass, which frustrated me. When we got through downtown he wanted to take Airport Way all the way to Georgetown. With my arm, and the speed of/assholeness of traffic on Airport Way, plus already being frustrated it wasn’t looking good. I asked if we were going to take Airport Way all the way to Georgetown and he snapped back about not having to ride with the group. So I didn’t and took the trail and 6th. It was for the best as it is a much nicer ride, especially for my condition, and gave me a chance to get over my frustration with his attitude.
Once at the 9lb Hammer, things were great. Most the group left headed for the Fremont firepit. There was no way I was riding up to Fremont and back that late with my arm casted. Fortunately a few others stayed behind and Tori had come out so we had our own group. I don’t know when we left the bar, but I stayed up most of the night watching Kids In The Hall with Monica. So all ended well, but Wednesday was a drag without sleep.
I had a bunch of social plans on the hill Wednesday night, and it was raining so I left the bike in the garage at work and took the bus. Oh, ye bus. It’s been so long. I bailed on a party, and went down to Metrix for Hacknight, having not seen Matt for quite a while. When trying to peel myself out of there to go get some sleep, he talked me into going to the Redwood. After a double there, I managed to head out to get some sleep.
I think I didn’t make it home until last night though. I haven’t biked since Wednesday morning either. The week’s been awesome, but I’ve been pretty tired through most of it. Work’s been going on easy on me, with the hand and all, which has helped. I came home last night rather than going out to take it easy. Tori and I had dinner and caught Burn After Reading which was super slow and really only saved by two awesome characters.
Tonight I’m off to catch Whose Live Anyway at The Moore with Monica. It’s a bunch of the guys from Whose Line is it Anyway? doing improv. Interestingly, it’s billed as Ryan Stiles, Greg Proops, Chip Esten and Jeff Davis meanwhile Colin Mochrie and Brad Sherwood have their own show tonight in Tacoma. Side note, somehow I’m the only Ryan Stiles fan in Seattle. He lives here. How is that possible? You kids need to watch more TV or something.
Some food is in order. And maybe some more picking up before I’ve gotta get uptown.
