Teh Interwebz!

Well ladies and germs, I'm back. I get to my new school, and their internet service is nearly as blocked as the internet service at my last one. Needless to say, I don't have blogging capabilities there. Anyway, I just moved completely into my new house here, and while I really like the house, I'm rather upset that everyone I love is much farther away than I had initially planned to have them. I.E. down the block. Oh well.

On a lighter note, I got all of my bicycles here, and I plan on getting serious in trying to take apart the Raleigh. That poor old Pro - I think what i'm going to do on Wednesday (God willing) is to take apart the bottom bracket and fill the tubes with ammonia. If that doesn't knock the seatpost and headset loose, nothing will. The previous owner (silly man that he was) must have parked this thing in the basement or somewhere equally as moist, because all of the aluminum parts are frozen into the frame, and there is nothing (and I MEAN nothing) that I could do to extract them - from twisting as hard as possible to banging with a hammer. Man, that oxidization is tough stuff. I'm shuddering at the idea of cutting off the Campy seat post and Cinelli stem just to get them out. I'm even further shuddering at the idea of taking off my beautifully shellacked handlebar tape to make it happen. *sigh*

In class though, we have just finished reading Beowulf in the senior class, and the students having watched the new film version absolutely hated the movie. Yes! My work is done.

And don't worry campers - as soon as I am able, I'll start posting snarky commentary on the ol' blog, but I just wanted to you guys to know that I truly am still alive and kicking. Believe it or not.
