sox.

i wonder if it's safe for me to remove the plastic from my windows.

this evening i went for my first bike ride of the season. i spent 50¢ on air for its tires. 50¢ is too much money for air. for goodness sakes. i rode my bicycle down to the public library where i attempted to sign out a book, BUT the books i was looking for were all signed out. i love the library, i just find it hard finding good books there, seeing as they're all interspersed with the crappy ones. i perpetually fall for the judging a book by its cover.

i love riding my bike. and i'm delighted that it's once again bike-riding season. i do recognize the irony that on monday we had a massive snow storm and by today it's safe to store my bike outside. i was thinking on the way home that it wasn't until i was 25 that i knew how to change gears. sometimes i just don't think to find an easier way of doing things. biking, even though it's a physical action, is very mind-consuming. it's quite difficult for me to really spend time thinking about much other than the sights i see around me. unlike walking, walking requires less alertness. i'm going to be quite sore for the next few days. even walking upstairs was strenuous.

i got reacquainted with this city that was separated from me by the winter. skeleton park. the store famous. queen's campus. vic park. often as i bike past these places i recall events and people. but i'm also keenly aware of the fact that they may also contain traces of my future too. a number of years ago i biked up york street and laughed at this little white house whose driveway was paved right up to its front door. and lo and behold! that's where i live now!

i fear that the batmobile is going to be needing a repair. i hate money. a scarier thought is that the batmobile is aging and may not be with me much longer. yikes, and i thought i was strapped for cash now!

nothing lasts forever
that's the way it's gotta be.
