Bikes:

Well, our nice warm weather has gone away, and now it’s winter. I forgot how much of a pain in the ass it is to ride in the cold. It seems like it takes forever to get all my gear on. Then I have to wear my camelback under my jacket so the water doesn’t freeze.

It’s almost enough to make me set the trainer back up and just ride in the basement.

I made it out for about 12 miles before I noticed I had a rear brake dragging, so I packed it in.

Geekery:

In other news, I broke my laptop, so I need another one. I tripped over the power cord, which sent the laptop flying across the room. The damage was actually pretty minimal, everything works except the socket where you plug the power in. I have to wiggle the cord to make a connection, so my battery is constantly going flat.

The laptop was 5 years old, so I guess it was time for a new one anyhow.

WTF?:

According to the news, there are people killing each other and lighting buildings on fire because of a cartoon. I think it’s high time these religions were added to the DSM-V.

Aw, fuck it. I think all Ásatrúar should burn and pillage^* Marvel headquarters over their blasphemous depiction of Lord Thor!

_{*This part is sarcasm. Bonius.com does not condone arson or pillage. Bonius.com further thinks spider-man kicks serious ass, and should be spared in the event that any pillage occurs at Marvel. Unless, of course, you worship the real spider-man and find the comic-book spider-man offensive. In that case burn, baby, burn.}
