Robot ape dance party



I'm going to marry that space ape. My fiancé is the best scary mascot ever.

"Japanese anime roller derby quilt square"



While procrastinating I discovered the above item for sale on Etsy.com. Fancy that, a quilt square using Manga-esque roller derby illustrations. Too funny.

Skating the AIDS walk



Here is my impression of today's AIDS walk:

Skate skate skate skate... "OH CRAP! DIRT!"... t-stop... t-stop... T-STOP... walking on toe stops.... skate... skate... skate... "OH GOD ANOTHER HILL"... plough stop... "OH CRAP MORE DIRT AT THE BOTTOM!!"... frantic plough stop... thigh-burning plough stop.... skate skate skate...

(repeat for six miles)

We had a great time, though. My favorite stretch was the underpass where we got to go down a very steep slope at full speed with two motorcycle cops leading the way.
