well, as a celebration of finally getting the hats online, i've decided to clear out my older stock. i've been collecting unique shirts, color swaps, and some of the older designs that i just got back from consignment stores. these shirts are WAY cheaper than usual, so grab them while you can! EDIT: be sure and specify which color you'd like in the "comments" section of paypal.

the fencer! this is a color swapped version on a gold shirt.

1 wmns med $13

3 unisex small $13 ea.

1 unisex small (on blue shirt, slight misprint) $10

1 unisex med $13

1 unisex large (slight misprint) $10

grasshopper! this is the same print i run now, but on blue shirts instead. 2 wmns med $10 ea.

1 unisex small $10

1 unisex small (on gold shirt, slight misprint) $8

1 unisex med $10

spaceman! i just got a shipment back from a consigment store of this. people have been asking if i was going to have any of the old prints, so here you go!

2 unisex med (red shirts)$10 ea.

5 unisex large (2 red, 1 olive, 1 asphalt, 1 hot pink print on light blue shirt) $10 ea

3 unisex small (2 red, 1 ashpalt) $10 ea

2 unisex med (1 olive, 1 red) $10 ea

4 unisex large (2 red, 1 asphalt, 1 olive) $10 ea

well, they're here! the hats are online and ready to sell. these are handmade hats, made in a classic cyclist style. the short caps are made of lightweight cotton or lycra, and the long style is double layered for warmth and reversablilty. they've been in the works for quite a while now, so i'm really glad to finally have them on the site.

why oh why do we have to suck at trivia? we did so good our first two outings. sigh...maybe it's in part due to the fact that we haven't been able to get our dream team back together, and maybe it's also partially because we just haven't had our hearts in it. i think our team needs a training montage, preferably one set to a motivation rock song that is about how hard we're working. and then, at the end of the montage, we'll all be sitting in a bar in sweatsuits toasting frosty mugs of beer . and in reality, then we'd go to trivia that night and get blown out by el fantismo or nerf herder. yay.

this morning on the news, they were running a segment on how more and more people are having cosmetic surgery on their pets, such as getting their ears stiffened to stand up straight, or their noses tattooed to make them darker, or getting neuticles implanted in their dogs after they get neutered. the highlight of the segment was when a doctor was explaining why she implanted the neuticles (apparently, she was somehow involved in the operation) and how happy she was with them. her quote was something like "they look so real, and they feel only a little bit different". gross.

god, i'm not trying to tell you how to do your job, but if i were you, i might have saved this for the moments before the apocalypse, to let the world go out in a blaze of glory. maybe you've got something better on tap...like zombie james brown!

man, we're terrible. 4th place...though in fairness, there were a ton of teams last night. but still. also, we would have been way better off going with our gut on some of those multiple choice questions, instead of overthinking them. sigh. well, next week is all movies in honor of the oscars. hopefully i can clean up on that, and also hopefully my dang team shows up. oh, and the bonus question i got last night was "babe, pig in the city".

so i'm back from san francisco. i've actually been back a day now, but whatever. it was amazing! the seafood! the hills! the views! the weather! the girls on the trolley talking about how their baby's daddy has skidmarks in his underwear and doesn't change his socks! i walked a lot. i realized last night that even though i ate everything and anything i wanted to, i still managed to lose 2.5 pounds. i didn't get to see the golden gate bridge, but then, i'd imagine it's a bit like seeing the statue of liberty. kinda cool while you're there, but not something to do more than once. my friends galen and cory were both great too. it's so nice when you don't see someone for a long long time, and then as soon as you're together again, things take off from right where they were. also, cory decided i'm a "goody two-shoes" because i get flustered when people around my are misbehaving and it might get me in trouble. i choose to believe that i am just better at picking my times to do bad things, like when no one will notice. anyway, the trip was good. i felt like i got a good persepective from it, and i feel like denver is an alright place for me to be right now. it might not be as dramatic as san francisco or new york, but then, it isn't nearly as expensive. and the people are all right. sort of. (i'm not sure anyone will get the reference in the title. it's a zappa song that is stuck in my head from when i was a kid)
