It’s beautiful outside. Maybe I will mysteriously become sick today.
We have 23 people signed up for our 5K, which is exactly halfway to the break-even point. This makes me quite happy, as I think getting 23 more people in the next three and a half weeks is utterly and completely doable.
I ended up staying at work last night later than I’d planned, but still managed to get my bike to the store before they closed at 7. I thought I’d have to leave it overnight, but it turns out that the safety inspection only took 5 minutes. The guy looked it over and pronounced it safe to ride in the MS150 (not that I was expecting any differently). And I asked the stupid question of how to adjust it so my neck doesn’t get sore on long rides. He tweaked the handlebars to put more weight on my back. Ah, so simple. I always feel like such an idiot when I go to the bike store for a minor adjustment; I guess I feel like if I’m going to have an $850 bike, I should know how to take care of it! To remedy the situation, I’ve signed up for two classes at Bike Barn–one about roadside repair, and one about general bike maintenance. By next month, I won’t feel so stupid.
I watched American Idol last night, after missing the past couple weeks. Is it me, or is the talent pool rapidly shrinking?? I wasn’t really all that impressed by any of the eight wild cards last night. I think only about six of the people who end up in the final twelve will have deserved to be there. Not like I could sing any better, but hey. Most of the people this season have just not been that impressive!
Tonight I’m going to see Rent with Jason, Jo, and two people who work with Debbie. Becca and others went last night, and Becca said she couldn’t tell what they were singing in the first act, and Jen apparently thought they were off-key. We’ll see what I think of it tonight. Not being able to hear the words won’t be a problem for me since I already know what they are, but if the singers are off-key, that’s gonna been really annoying (not to mention unprofessional). In any case, yay, I get to go see Rent!
