Yay, it's back!

We plan to get to the Champaign County Bike Festival around 1:30p and stick around for the auction. I'm not buying anything, I just love watching auctions happen.

I might pack some treats, but I think heading over to EVO for bubble tea afterwards would be lovely.

I like going out in downtown Champaign. I like it even more since the smoking ban went into effect. Now the Mayor of Champaign, most likely backed by a city council that recently changed members in the last elections, says he wants to repeal the ban. This is done knowing full well that the statewide ban is looking like it may pass. So if they ( Read more... )

Well, half true. In the mad push to firm up just a little bit for the wedding, I rode my Philo route again, turning around at the last mile away from Philo, because I could no longer bear the headwinds. They were strong enough that I had to pedal out of my seat on the flats and then I could only manage 8-10mph. Can't really complain, it was a great ( Read more... )

Good ol' cumtd isn't doing it for me.

Looks like I'll have to ride out to this orientation thing for my temp scoring job. I wouldn't mind getting bundled up, but it's a little harder to look professional and I also end up really sweaty when I get inside. I should leave some time to get there and chill/dry out in the break room.

Our County Market recently upgraded a few sections. I saw some aged gouda and a bunch of nicer cheeses. I picked up a chunk of Vella Dry Jack! It's one of my favorites ( Read more... )

Anyone going to Critical Mass tonight? I'm hoping that any rain passes through this afternoon. I should be there as long as it's not raining too hard.

We vegged out in front of the TV tonight watching the first disc of The Last Exile. I randomly picked it at UFL. It's too bad they mix all the Anime in with the main DVD collection; I usually just flip through a few sections to see what they have, but it'd be nice to have a master index. The advanced search of the online catalog doesn't help either ( Read more... )

We're finally home. I'm going to try these new empanadas and then shovel the driveway for 2-3 hours; the snow ranges from 1-3 feet deep all over the place. We had difficulty just getting into the house, but I found a secret way.

Mussels and bread will be waiting for me when I return.

We decided to stay in Springfield last night, which was the right move, sorta. UIS canceled classes today and pt's office is basically closed, though I think it was fortunate that she made it into the office today to get some work done. We could have been home today ( Read more... )
