sistawendy: me in my nun costume looking stern (stern nun)
But first: Comcast Xfinity told me over the phone not to panic about that email saying I'd be disconnected tomorrow. If it happens anyway, I will be more cheesed off than the entire state of Wisconsin. Apparently their database still doesn't reflect the fact that the Devil Girl House is now one of five units on a lot that got subdivided. And that kind of thing is happening all over my neighborhood, as it has been for the last decade or so.

I got new bike shorts because my old ones were holey and ill-fitting. What I didn't notice when I ordered them from REI is that they have... booty padding. I did feel bruised the other day, so it'll be nice if that doesn't happen again. On the other hand, the care tags say they need to be hand washed. Le sigh. It's a good thing I only wear bike shorts in the summer.

Between the padded booty, the funny weighted shoes, and my hi-viz yellow T-shirts and helmet, I look like an Official Bicycle Dork® when I go on my morning rides now. I hope no one mistakes me for an actual serious cyclist; I'm just out there for a little exercise and some endorphins. It's occurred to me that I sometimes regret watching a movie or TV show, but I never regret a ride.

Edited to add: OK, I regret a ride if I get soaked, but mainly for the damage it does to the bike. And I usually avoid that: I'll walk down the hill to buy groceries instead of riding these days.
