I am still going! Biking report: I'm back up to 3 bikes, smh. I bought a used early 90s mountain bike (a Diamond Back Outlook) off craigslist and left it at my parents house so I can ride when I go visit them. It's a nice old bike. Just needed some wheel truing and alignment of the derailleur. Back home I've been riding my Rivendell Clem Smith Jr. L for going on 2 years now, still love it. Though I still wish it had the H crossbar. And a tad lighter? Fun on trails. Fun on the road and commuting. Rarely ride my fixed gear but maybe this summer? It used to be my favorite bike. Need to drop the Riv sometimes and ride the fixie more. Food report: Cooking so much yu choy sum and eggplants and what else? I made hamantaschen and they were delicious. Scene report: Still hanging with all the homies at Flux. Took karaoke down a notch, which is good. Played dice again, first time in years. I didn't win, but had fun. An ambient game without gambling. Music report: modulating my modular but wanna get more 'serious' which right now means want to play with more friends, start a 'family band' with A, and maybe do more outdoor shows this summer on the island, yeah. School report: Having a good semester. Classes going well. Working on some projects. Painting report: visited my dad's childhood row home. Then we took photos and went home and painted the front in water color. Going to try to do the neighborhood maybe? What else? I still have lots of energy. Which helps with avoiding burnout. That, and pivoting to new things when I lose motivation or want to try something new. Speaking of which, still haven't finished my website, lol.
