Imagine you’re in an alpine hut. This hut is covered in feet of snow. Now you are awoken to this J-POP [sans sexy dancing girls] and gongs by innocent-looking Japanese students for three days two hours earlier than you need to be. You are fed gravy for dinner.
Welcome to Japan.
I get it. My imaginary facebook-fiance is popular. I wonder if this some couples find out about their significant other’s lives like this.
Beans!
What do you get when you plant late and the summer is cool? Beans in November! Adam gave me a handful of these to plant in my garden before he moved to Rhode Island. The bounty isn’t great, but it gives me enough to try again next year, and get a yummy meal or two.
They’re called scarlet runners, and the coloring is really pretty.
The new Black Keys album is INCREDIBLE!!!
This one’s called “Tighten Up”

After seeing a friend’s tweet about diy bike camera mounts, I remembered I had this clip laying around. It’s from that time I felt like I was turning in to a fatty at Google, and decided to go on a long bike ride to prove to myself I wasn’t overdoing that whole free food thing. After some investigation, I figured out this part of the journey was between Läufelfingen and Rümlingen, though the hill started much before and continued much after these two points. (my first attempt at hitting the shutter release failed miserably, and it got boring and slower after the end of the clip)
lessons learned: get fatties for the next bike tour, don’t expect the -20km shortcut to be less time, cows smell. future projects: figure out a way to mount a camera that’s not so shaky and doesn’t depend on me staring forwards the whole time.
still not sure what I should actually do with the clip, but thought I’d share anyways. sped up to 8x and sans crappy metal track a la youtube. enjoy!
Being sick as balls in Spain sucks, but Thievery Corporation makes any situation better.
