a perfect law and order

July 7th, 2011 · No Comments · bike parts

Sometime around 2003, I became addicted to Law and Order. It wasn’t my gateway TV series into bad TV shows [that was probably CSI] or law school [that may have been Ally McBeal], but that may have been because I believed so strongly in the reality of the characters themselves. I believed that in a [...]

I was born in the year of the pig [or, as I like to call it, the year of the boar]. I don’t say this to justify my adoration of food, but because, by sheer luck [or misfortune], the year in which I was born blessed me with a streak of stubbornness and, worse, a [...]

at your service

May 5th, 2010 · 1 Comment · bike parts, bike shops, nyc

“Water safe for consumption,” the subject line of the email read. So Boston’s back to being a normal city in an otherwise developed country, and I can finally wash my hands with unboiled water. Which is nice, because my hands have felt like they did on Sunday when I spent most of my morning behind [...]

hunting for gears

May 4th, 2010 · 6 Comments · being ocd, bike parts, general stuff

Last Thursday spelled the end of law school classes, but I was still sweating out of stress and completely sober a few hours after class let out. Rummaging around my fridge for whatever was for dinner, I found a few ice cold bottles of beer from forever ago, because when drinking just the neck of [...]

sequins and stress levels

October 28th, 2009 · 2 Comments · bike parts, fixing stuff, style

What’s a girl to do when a law journal implodes in her face, dragging friendships down the drain with it, and mashing on the rollers in frustration just isn’t cutting it? She gets out every sequined whatever out of her closet, tries them all on with every high-heeled shoe she owns, then sits on her [...]

October 6th, 2009 · 1 Comment · bike parts, general stuff, reviews

I am obsessed with trashy TV shows like “Intervention” [and yes, "Obsessed"]. I’m not ashamed to say that I’ll watch episodes of “Intervention” on Hulu while I’m on my rollers, morbid fascination allowing me to momentarily forget how much my legs are hurting. Crack addicts, meth heads, anorexics, cutters…It’s addictive. I can’t stop. One episode [...]

slippered feet

September 17th, 2009 · 4 Comments · bike parts, huh?

With bicycles, the more you know, the more you know how much you don’t know when you know something’s wrong. At least as applied to me. “I think it’s my bottom bracket,” I’ll say. “Um…no…that looks okay. It’s your [chainring/freewheel/chain/any other part that is not my bottom bracket],” will be the reply from a trusted [...]
