Journey To The Center Of The Earth

I was going to pick up a new wheelset for my fixie, but I was knocked out til like 4 and all the bike shops were closed. haha. Guess I gotta wait til tomorrow. But, I did go and see Journey To The Center Of The Earth in 3D! It wasn't that bad of a movie. The 3D effects were really good and you even get to keep the glasses! How awesome is that. Go check it out if you have time!

work

I forgot, later this night, around 7, my neighbor came over and asked me to help her with yard work. I've helped her before and the work I do is pretty fucking hard. It pays 7 an hour and today I busted my ass for an hour shoveling like 300 lbs of bark into trashcans and pulling them up the freakin driveway. I'm sore as fuck now and I got hella dust and shit all over me from the bark. haha. great day.

fixie

Well, I've been looking into fixed gear bikes for a while and just yesterday I decided that it was time I went ahead and bought one. I searched craigslist for a while and came across an old Bianchi. No picture or nothing. Just said it was a 53cm Bianchi for 150. This surprised me since everyone else is selling these for like 300-500. I was skeptical but decided to contact this guy. Met up at the local park and everything was legit. I even got a deal for 100. It was a complete bike, just had a missing chain. The tires were fucked and the brakes were out of whack. But for 100, its still a great deal. Took the bike home and beat the shit out of it stripping all the parts I don't need, brakes, wheels. Planning on heading over to the bike shop tomorrow to pick up a cheap wheelset. We'll see how that goes.
