Saturday was Molly & Aaron's big Superhero blowout. I went as Stephyllis the Acerbic Spaz. Which doesn't make much sense after googling the definition of "acerbic". Or does it? The only thing I'll say about that is, for the first time ever, I actually had one of those hangovers you see in movies/tv, where everything around you is too bright or too loud. Damn comedies. It's not so funny when it's actually happening to you.

Oh and lets see...Sunday....? Sunday I fell in love.

Not with a person mind you. With a toolkit. I know. How much more pathetic could I get. But alas, it's true. Sunday I decided to fix my bike so I can ride that around because 1) I want to, 2) It's better for the environment, 3) It's exercise, but most importantly at the moment 4) it's cheaper than paying for gas.

So I initially set out just to purchase a new tube for my front tire and a wrench that would be multi-functional, but especially able to get my tire off my bike to allow for said repair.

I might mention that while I was browsing the "Fix-It" section of the store, Beca was on the phone with me trying to understand the concept of me fixing my tire myself. "Couldn't you just take it to the bike place?" Oh Jersey. I have to admit the thought never even crossed my mind to take it to an actual bike repair shop. Though I'm sure it wouldn't have crossed Beca's either if her Dad was available, haha.

Anyway...I found this 140 piece set of tools for like $20 that came with everything from a hammer and ratchet set, to the tiny screwdrivers and allen wrenches for odd jobs like glasses frames or what not. AND it had a tape measure. Which I've been needing, but always found too expensive to buy individually. I mean..who wants to pay like $10 for one of those?

Regardless, I got home and was beside myself with my set of tools. I felt like I could conquer the world! Or at least my bike tire. Which I did! Next on the list to take on? Power drills. You should be worried. Wait--I mean, I should be worried.


Umm, I was on Pandora and "Common Reaction" from Uh Huh Her came up? What the hell? I haven't seen this anywhere! Which makes sense considering the new record's not out yet...but still, it's on Pandora but not their website or myspace? Whatever, I'm totally ripping this .mp3 when I get home. I like this song.

Ooo! Now there's a cool less 80's-ized version of "Here Comes the Rain Again" (the Eurythmics/Annie Lennox) by some chick named Alex Parks. I think I might have to check her out too.
