Just Wondering

Is it wrong that I experience schadenfreude when the muni express bus gets full before the last two stops before heading downtown? Does it have something to do with the fact that it's the Fillmore @ California stop?

On Monday I rode my bike around a lot. It was really nice out. When I was taking a break on a hill in the Presidio, this woman (walking her bike) came up and asked if I had a toolkit- I said sure, and asked if I could help. She said her chain was broken. I took a look at her bike and realized two things- 1. her bike costs more than my car (but not a Panerai watch, let's get that clear) and 2. her chain wasn't broken, nothing was- her chain had come off the front chainrings. I just showed her how to fix it and she was on her way.

Later on the way home, I took another break (yeah, I'm out of shape and can't go up hills) and another person had the same problem- but this was a tourist on a rental bike and she was heading towards the GG Bridge. I helped her too. Both people were as nice, but I thought it was odd that the one with the fancy bike didn't know how to "fix" it.

On a random note, I was feeling homesick for TX the other day, so I made King Ranch Chicken. While I was eating it, I kept saying "I'm the KING!! I'm the KING!!". Rotel is the secret ingredient in life, man. . .

Julieta Venegas has a new album out. I saw a video the other day for Me Voy on Pepsi Musica on channel 66 when I was falling asleep at 3am the other night. . . I bought got the album and listened to it, it's pretty good, a bit poppy bit good. Of course y'all will just say it's MBFM™. Oh, the new Wolfmother album is pretty good too. And they use a Deep Purple style organ to rock out. Mmm Morely Hobknocker.

The World Cup is coming up and I don't have cable. I think I should bite the bullet and order Comcast. . .

Enough random musings this a.m.

Edit: I was looking up Julieta Venegas on youtube.com to put a link up to some of her videos (which I'm doing now). There's one on there from a concert she did in San Antonio. Oddly enough it was at Our Lady of the Lake University, which could be and should be abbreviated as Our.LOL.edu. Our LOL sounds better than what the locals call Our Bitch of the Ditch. . . Oh and in case you couldn't tell I have a healthy crush on Julieta. I want to squeeze her accordion.
