Ah, mi bici.

After a long time being on two legs, being on two wheels is a little terrifying. My new bike is definitely a fixer-upper, a project to keep me occupied when I need a distraction from school. The bike is an old 70s taiwanese import, a little heavy but I can manage to shoulder it and get it up the stairs to my apartment. The brakes are not quite up to my standards though, and there's some rust...I want to strip it, repaint the frame, update some of the rustier components and put on a new headset/handlebars (I loved my old bike's bull horns). Fun! I have never done any of this before, but I want to embrace a wrenchier side of myself.
I still want to repaint/redo my living room too. So maybe my fall will be filled with all sorts of improvements. I'm even planning on starting yoga, at school, because I could probably stand to stretch out a little.
And then there's the possibility of Vietnam in two months as well...I haven't decided if I'm going for sure, or bought the tickets, but I like the idea of it all. What's his name says we can go to Halong Bay, or maybe to Laos, or to Cambodia and Angkor Wat...
