City bike

A blogging-cleanse is about to transpire ;).  I've held back on many events that I should have blogged about, so be ware of a slew of blogs to come.

Last month Chihiro-chan and I helped Mar-chan with her marathon training.  So we rode bikes carrying extra Gatorade, water, and snacks packed with electrolytes (Like peanut butter filled pretzels...yum!). We did a 23 mile route:

- one loop of central park starting at 67th street,
- then go across 66th to the east side and over
- to the queensboro bridge,
- back through the park at 59th and
- across 72nd street to riverside,
- down to 14th street, turn around and
- go up until around 116th and back down,
- ending at 72nd and riverside.

It was so windy and cold that day.  Kuddos to Mar-chan for running it all the way through and managing to walk back to the apt and change and walk to the restaurant to feed our hungry faces :)

That day I borrowed Mar-chan's bike has convinced me to get a city bike for myself.  I've been looking around to see what kind I would like for myself.  Something simple, easy, and convenient (If I had a garage to fit a 10' truck then I'd get that with a sign that said, "Move outta my way bi*ch*s! lol jk).  I have a preference for a Japanese city bikes like this Koga-Miyata mountain bike:

 

However, I still do someday hope to be able to enjoy living a Parisian lifestyle.  So secretly the girly-euro side of me wants this gorgeous Batavus Dutch city bike:

oopse! I neglected my blog!?!

Who was I kidding! I couldn't keep up with this blog nor could I snag myself a part-time in the midst of the course.  It dawned on me that it would be a crazy idea to keep up with everything around the third day of the course.  If you know me well, you know that I can maintain a busy body but still manage myself 8 hours of sleep.  And a Casil without the right amount of sleep is....trouble.  So my sleep schedule is something I have to sacrifice and make major adjustments to.  After class, eat something so I don't starve, unwind for about half an hour, then work on projects till about 11pm, take a nap, up again at 2am to finish the residual of my work, and nap again at 4am, then wake up at 7am and head out the door.


I got a little break during the Thanksgiving Holiday. I was able to sleep in, watch movies, enjoy thanksgiving meal that I was forced not to help with, and leftovers and fresh coffee, and little shopping.  On the "work" end we accomplished a business name, a semi-business logo, business colors, purchased business domain name, got business number, scheduled appointment with IP attorney, and got a handful of designs for copyrighting.  Since things are officially getting there and new changes are abound we commenced the beginning of this new beginning with some yummy cigars.  Drew Estate is a unique company in the industry so I guess it was appropriate to have smoked their unique cigars.  They say they are, "The Rebirth of Cigars".  I hope to one day be able to say that about this new venture.  My friend had the Acid 1400cc, and he felt the right cigar for me was the Acid Blondie. :P (that punk, can't he see I'm a brunette!)
