(no subject)
Life continues the same, albeit bikeless. Adam bought me a bike frame from his work, though -- a Marinoni Sportiva, which is a steel touring frame. And he has a bunch of parts picked out for me, mostly Campy (including Campy wheels) except for Shimano 105 long-reach brakes so I can put full fenders on there. I currently have no money to buy components, though. I'll be a bus rider for a while, it seems.
Finished reading Quicksilver and listening to Catch-22. Both were really good. Started reading The Confusion (so far even better than Quicksilver) and listening to Perdido Street Station (can't decide if I like it yet).
Still playing lots of SNES RPGs - Secret of Mana, FFII, and Lufia II. Secret of Mana is good because Adam and I can play it together. Also, the graphics are really fun and adorable. We just left the forest where the Moogle village is. It was so pretty! Final Fantasy II is just plain good. The music(!), and all the secrets and details of all the different settings, all superb. Always lots of characters to go talk to, secret passages, places to go back and visit once you've leveled up, etc. I like Lufia as well because of all the puzzles. Some of them make me want to pull my hair out, but I'm always happy when I work them out. As might be imagined, it's a little confusing switching between the three games. Always takes me a couple minutes to remember the gameplay of whichever one I'm playing.
Food shopping at this time of year is awesome. Blueberries, corn, cherries, asparagus, mangoes, and tomatoes -- so many yummy things are cheap and plentiful.
Oy, I need tea. My metabolism always wants me to take a nap around this time of day. Must get more work done.
