upgrading an actual in-production drupal install: 15 minutes to backup, 8 minutes install time. nice.

my horoscope today is scaring me: "Today is a good time to finally complete the new construction of your house." Gah!

new s-bucks feels weird somehow. bigger, less cave-like. very nice, tho. will be interesting 2 see what else moves in2 that stripmall.

moving sloooowly this morning. thinking about walking to new coffeeshop. see if caffeine & walking helps get my brain on.

watching once upon a time in china after big bike ride w/friends. glad to see the weather turning around!

test-rode bike today ping.fm/HBsMX omg SO MUCH FUN! will be saving up to get 09 version.

my hometown has Street View on Gmaps. freaky. (mom's old van is in the driveway! also, I didn't know they'd taken out the front hedge.)

riding home in the rain was kinda fun akshully. raining again now, quasi-tropically.

oh, heck. looks like some serious rain may be headed this way. leave early, or wait & see? (I have my rain cape, at least.)

that's twice now that C has said "black is the new red." (pretty much out of nowhere, over the phone.) how odd.
