a superb elite [party]

It’s Friday night, and there’s a hand sneaking in between my legs. Fingers brush my inner thigh as I squeal and giggle. I wasn’t tipsy at all. Just a little drunk off adrenaline from the Superb Grand Opening party. I had cleared my schedule weeks in advance for this party [and not only because cassette [...]

undeniably superb

My love of bike shops is no secret; I’ll stubbornly stand in cleats around bike stands, even with a knee that’s throbbing and begging me to sit down, to kill time with the best mechanics around, whether in NYC or Boston. I never thought, though, that I’d have the opportunity to watch a new bike [...]

My first boyfriend was a computer science major [yes, I started dating in college]. He was clean cut, played Ultimate Frisbee, and was his high school’s valedictorian. He also watched Star Trek and loved video games. He didn’t totally look it, but he was kind of a dork. I thought he was the most adorable [...]

1.57am. That’s when I finished. Not like that’s unusually late these days. Between rides, blogs, and scheming, late nights are becoming part of the whole routine. A dizzying one that has me nearly falling asleep as I brush my teeth and having small fits of existential crises over gchat. All while some part of me [...]

I have 1.5 Boston winters under my commuting belt [I got my Bianchi in January 2008]. It doesn’t make me any more hardcore, or special, than any other cyclist. But it’s something I’m secretly proud of. It’s also the reason I think Bicycle Commuter Appreciation Day should be in the middle of February, not in [...]

As per the usual morning routine, I grabbed my eyeliner pencil yesterday morning, unsheathing the magic black wand that helps accentuate the eyes that I don’t have. One eye squeezed shut with the accompanying eyebrow raised, hand poised, leaning in towards the mirror… I stopped. Who was I going to need this for? The exam [...]

taking a breath

Law school exams are sort of like that space between comfortably drunk and black out drunk. Okay, that’s kind of a big range, but you know that phase that starts when everything goes numb and the room spins a little. That phase when that booze-fueled fog that’s making bad decisions for you clears for a [...]

Attempting to organize the hundreds of pictures I’ve apparently taken in the past year of all things bike, I realized that this time last year, I hardly knew anything about bikes. It’s weird…has it really only been a year? The tractorino’s official [Boston] birthday is January 7, 2008. Before that, the last bike I rode [...]

pedal, interrupted

Not enough sleep. Not enough motivation. My two persistent problems this week. Last night I blocked off time slots for studying. 8am to noon on Saturday is for Con Law, Tax, and Evidence. 12.30 to 5pm for outlining, reviewing, etc., etc., etc. It felt organized and good; at least it looked good on Google calendar. [...]

Until about a week ago, my friends [other than my IBC crew, obviously] who got to see progress pictures of my bike would constantly ask me when it was going to be done. It was more out of politeness on my friends’ part though, as most of them don’t ride bikes; and it’s a too-easy [...]
