urbanpringle: Fall 2004 penny event - “sex machine” (I’ll upload a picture sometime) Playing capture the flag on campus, then heading back to grebel, running in to people and heading off to someone’s house in the country for a bonfire with grebelites.

redfive: marreka: redfive: i believe the term for this is overpackaged fucking dumb.  who buys one egg?  or one slice of ham?  or one freaking banana?  or one lime?!  one miniature lime, no less.  if you’re only buying one lime, you’re either batshit crazy or you’ve got scurvy.

I got free Starbucks today
But I also had the strangest experience getting it. I swear, today is National Get Out of Jail Free Day. First, I get onto the iXpress in the direction of Uptown/Cambridge. At the Laurier stop, a young 16 year old girl and her friend board the bus and sit next to me. They proceed to talk about how they are on the run from the cops, they’ve been in jail before, and how they have a $10,000...

I miss biking in Japan →
That was fun… 34KMs of fantastic bikeage. The weather was phenominal! It was 28°C with humidity on top (I actually like biking in that kind of heat) but the wind was too strong, especially along the run along Tamagawa river. I also played a game of cat and mouse with a bus… That was actually scary Route: Ebisu -> Naka-meguro -> Komazawa Dori Ave -> Nakamachi -> Kaminoge...
