View From the Bushes

To my everlasting shame, I did not bike into work today. I donated platelets yesterday afternoon (movie: Meet the Fockers) and last night I was feeling pretty crappy, woozy, light-headed, etc. I'm not sure if it was the donation or something else. I think overall it probably ended up being a good thing, since I didn't sleep very well.

I was up at 3:00 am dealing with some kind of bathroom emergency (I'm kind of fuzzy on the details), and at 5:00 am I was woken up by some horrible bird that was sitting right outside the window and squawking out something that sounded like a cross between an alarm clock and Satan. This lasted until my feet touched the floor as I prepared to run outside in my skivvies and start throwing rocks, when the bird, sensing it had gone too far, finally decided to fly away. I did manage to fall back asleep after that, but my dreams were filled with horrible images of ravens and toilets.

My new plan is to bike in on Tuesday (Monday being a holiday, of course). I guess I could actually try and warm up a bit by doing some biking during the weekend; stranger things have happened. As far as links go, overall today seems kind of slow on that front, so I guess I'll point you at the Video Vixen Contest over at G4 TV. I know at least some of my readers will appreciate it.

Overcome with shame
