So last night was finally the middle-of-the-night rerun of the Dan Tyminski Band appearance on Conan, and my VCR didn't explode in the middle of it or anything, so you can un-TiVo it Shae and Rog, thanks alot! Though why you would want to, I don't know.

In honour of the rerun, I dreamt that I was watching it and it was kind of a Hullabaloo-type show (I'm not really that old, I just used to date a 60's freak!), meaning a 60's music show where everyone would come on and lip-synch their hits with big insane grins plastered all over their faces, and so there was this big set with all of these levels and each performer was on a different level, and Barry was laying on his back on one of the levels, pretending to play a polka-dotted bass. With an insane grin plastered all over his face.

That turned out actually not to be the case, however, when I got up and watched it for real. Fortunately! And Dan sang great and Barry looked great and everyone played great and it was just great! Great, I say! Conan looked bored introducing them, but not everyone has the good taste to be a bluegrass fan, I say.

I'm trying to figure out who is more annoying, a person who just quit smoking, and person who just started yoga, a person who just found God, or a new bluegrass fan?

I'll bet I know...

I want to get a bike, I think. I have decided to get a bike. Maybe. Yes, I think that I might. Possibly.

As you may be able to tell, I am not entirely certain. Because what I really want is not a fancy bike, a fabulous bike of many gears and skinny wheels and titanium frames or whatever, what I want is a one speed bike with a basket and a bell. And the kind of brakes where you pedal backwards. I want a real bike. And I don't want to have to learn to be a bike mechanic, like Nancy or Jessie, I just want to ride the damn bike and have it be easy.

A long time ago, I remember reading about a great place to get a bike for cheap in New York Magazine, and, thanks to the web, I found both the articles that I was thinking of. And maybe I'll check it out this weekend or something.

Of course, the thing with having a bike is that I would want to ride it to work, but I cannot through the Lincoln Tunnel, and the George Washington Bridge is very very far from my house and all downhill (so it would kill me to ride back home) and comes out in Manhattan very very far from where I have to be, so it would be wildly inconvenient to ride that way.

But it just occurred to me that I could perhaps ride to Hoboken, which is right next door, and take the PATH into the city and then ride to work from there. Maybe. Or maybe that would be more trouble than it is worth. However, I could still ride my bike around New Jersey on the weekends, going to the movie theatre or the House of Pancakes that are really too far away to walk comfortably, especially in the summer.

So, what do you think, you bikers, any biking advice?

And we are still talking about flirting, and the my job sucks thread has come back from the dead as well!

Today's horoscope:
You could slip into a workaholic role today. Don't take on more than your share of job responsibilities.

One year ago today:
"It's hot! My friends won't come if we don't get down until 10.30! I'm a delicate flower and I will turn into a pumpkin if I'm not in the bar drinking by 9p!" and blah blah blah. Suck it up.
