ugly materialism

$5 at my favorite overpriced secondhand store. Sure I already have a pair of gloves, but these are super cushy, in addition to having the retro-crochet going on.

$10 at the same store. And did I mention that when I bought the gloves I found out the tall girl who works there rides an eighties Raleigh conversion? That's mad hot. And Bev totally needs a girlfriend. Although Ann says her bike told her Tonto, Brad's bike, has been seeing Bev. I don't approve of my girl rolling with Tonto, he's a bad influence.

Probably the best thing on the Youtubes.

". . . cool, so where do you live?"

Oh you Butler kids, a bunch of real cut-ups you are.

I went on the Indy Cog/ Green Broad Ripple bike ride last Saturday. Ignoring the fact that it saved me money (20% off at Joe's Cyclery and Luna!), ignoring the fact that it was a great way to support two groups I like, I went because it was a way to get out in public and meet people. Well, really, I wanted to meet girlies, and if I could meet a girlie with a rad bike, well, that would be ah-may-zing.
But, I can't really say I did. Today, however, I possibly saw that girl's bike. Because I like to pretend that there's an absolutely perfect person out there, I just have to bump into her. If not, this is still a pretty sweet ride. Single speed, cruiser handlebars (but not a full-on slow-ass ninty-pound cruiser), and a little bit of giraffe print.
Plus, we use the same type of U-lock. Obviously it's meant to be.
