This was an awesome weekend. Cal made an amazing Punjabi dinner - and thanks to Shama for inviting me along. Did 65 miles around the lake again and averaged 19mph, which is amazing considering all the stop signs, slow people, pedestrians, hills, and set a new top speed of 65kph. Biking takes a lot out of you - it feels like a triathlon where after you're done, your body just says, "I’m hungry" - so you eat the fattiest most filling calorie filled meal you can find. Then your body goes, "ok, it's time for sleep" and BAAAM!! you're out cold - doesn't matter that it's 6pm. I woke up at 10pm after people's incessant calling and had a few drinks w/ Z. Biking was awesome though - the weather is holdin' up and I only got honked at twice, and had two cops ask me where my helmet was - and two biker girls who drafted from me and while I was taking a break asked me where my helmet was. For all those inquiring minds out there, I've got one on order from REI. I also saw Mulholland Dr. which was an awesome movie. I'm a big fan of the time play movies like Memento. I was so tired I missed out on an 80s party and a demolition derby that I actually wanted to go see, but didn't have the energy. Saw Lost in Translation which was very slow - and it was OK, except that there wasn't anything that made me think or showed me something about humanity that I didn't know. Been there, done that - it was interesting though. Also started reading Many Lives, Many Masters which actually made me use my Barnes & Noble card which I pay $25/year for but never use. I've also been thinking lately that people read too much and repeat what they read, thinking they now have the same level of understanding that the author did in their epiphany. Rarely do people understand a book before quoting it as if they knew what it was talking about. I think there should be another test above reading comprehension. Like reading comprehension and application - this would test to see if they understand and can apply meaning to another situation correctly - instead of just stopping at meaning. I believe knowing something and applying it correctly are two different things. It would make people less hypocritical I guess. Anyway - the book is getting more interesting, but probably still not worth the $12 bucks I paid for it. What am I saying though - I feel like a soothing cup of Chai for $4 bucks is a good deal.

Hiee!!! Don't you get fined for not wearing your helmet while you're biking? It is a law you know!

probably - it's hot and everyone will ask you where your helmet is.
