Fall down go boom

Well, this past Sunday, I reffed the Big Easy Rollergirls intraleague bout, a matchup of the Marigny Antoinettes and the Confederacy of Punches.
The bout went of pretty well, some hiccups here and there, but that is to be expected.
Somehow though, the ref squad managed to incur some losses. S’aint N.O. Lady fractured the radial head […]

Clint asked me to put this up on the webternets, so without further ado, I give you “Complicated Life”. Please pass it along.

Complicated Life

Weighing in at 3.57 lbs, in blue - HITOMI!

( Cycling )

Yesterday, amidst mountains of work asplodiness, I had a shining moment; my Seven Verve was delivered to the shop.
Joy apparently comes in increments of 3.57 lbs of titanium:Quoth the Stimpy: “Oh, Joy!”
According to BabyNames.com, Hitomi is Japanese for “blue eyes”, while BehindTheName.com says it is Japanese for “pupil of the eye”. It can also come […]

“Better slip with foot than tongue”

( NOLA and Drunkery and Cycling )

Ah, such true words, Mr. Franklin.
This past Sunday saw Bea, myself, and a group of friends playing croquet in City Park. We decided to throw in a twist or two: what can only be described as a vat of Long Island Iced Teas and two courts that intersected in the middle at a 90° angle.
I […]

Rain Rides

( Cycling )

I really do enjoy riding to/from work in the rain. I actually think it is fun. I have my jacket, my messenger bag is waterproof, and I have a change of clothes at the office.
I have everything except extra socks, apparently. Dammit.
That reminds me, I treated myself to a new bag the other day. I […]

Biiiissssscooooooooo!!!!!!

( Cycling )

So, it’s official, and I think I might have called it.
Basso is now a member of the Discovery Channel Cycling Team.
It’s so fitting that one of Lance’s biggest threats is now taking the helm of his team. Basso is a stand-up guy, and I’m glad he’s captaining “our” team.
¡Viva Basso! ¡Viva Disco!

My brain is fuzmy.

( Amusing and Work and Cycling )

My morning was looking up. I felt awake and alert. Ready to be productive.
Then I took a hit of the Robotussin, to help with the removal of phlegm left in my lungs from my extended weekend sickness.
Well, that was dumb. I feel fuzzy, and I still have work to do. Blargh.
Well, barring evening fuzziness, Lara, […]

In Basso We Trust

( Cycling )

Man, it’s been a big week in doping. Or not doping.
BAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Yeah bitches, Basso is back, cleared by Italian officials of doping allegations. I still have the $20 that I won in my bet with Sonny for this year’s Giro, and never got to turn around and bet with the same bill on Basso for […]
