i want to ride my twenty-dollar salvation army bicycle but i have no idea if it's even safe. i gave it a test ride but i don't know so much about 1970s gear shifting & stuff. ithaca also has too many sharp hills & i am terribly afraid of falling backwards to my death on stewart avenue. but i'm going to try as hard as i can to get used to inclines because i really want to bike more places.

last night was pretty fun. free grey goose & stevesara is bad at cranium. new people in the house to visit & i created a small studio in the extra basement room that smells like pee so that i can do oil painting again. there is no ventilation but my turpentine is fake so hopefully i won't pass out down there. hehe.
