Gravity Sucks
So Adrian and I went roller blading yesterday. On a whim, he decided to buy some rollerblades and I dug my old ones out of the closet and we went to the nature preserve by our place. Turns out that $20 rolelrblades bought from target are really crappy. He couldn't understand why this was fun for me b/c his wheels barely even turned and every part of the trail was a chore. I, on the other hand, tend to pick up speed so fast that I couldn't stop myself on anything with even the slightest decline. At best, my nice brake/stopper slowed me down a slight slight bit, but nothing substantial, and once I picked up any speed it was completely useless.
Which is how I ended up hitting the gravel across the sidewalk at one point and fell on my ass. For someone as clumsy as I am, ass pads would be nice. Instead, what I now have is a huge blue and purple bruise covering half my ass. Sitting hurts. Walking hurts. Everything hurts. :(
On a side note, I ran over a rock in the parking garage when I was leaving work the other night. I called my friend Ecik as I knew he was heading over to my place anyway. But by the time he got there Ialready had gotten the tire off and was putting the spare on. It sucked since this is the first time the tire has been changed on this car since I bought it, it took my standing on the breaker bar and jumping on it to loosen the bolts. But I am proud I was able to get it myself. I haven't had to change a tire in about 4 years, and on the Tiburon it was a terrific bitch to change. The Scion is ever so much easier.
Rocks have not been my friend lately.
