carless day
as today is carless day, siggimus last night took time out of his busy schedule to fix the rear tire of his bicycle
instead of trying to repatch the already patched tube, siggimus splurged on replacing it with a spanking new one, straight from the box!
not too easy to focus, with the little bundle of joy & beauty exercising her vocals at the same time
still, siggimus managed, and it only took about 30 mins to pump up the tire afterwards, with that cute, but minuscule bicycle pump
waking up this morning, siggimus is excited about cycling for the first time in 2 months or so, even if it looked a bit chilly out
chilly day – perfect for first day of cycling in 2 months! so, on the bike siggimus climbs, heading off slowly into the chilly morn
careful and on the lookout for icy patches, and even carefuller taking care not to strain his by now decrepit muscles, siggimus takes it slowly, but shirley
cycling off in the rising morning sun things go well, and no icy spots to be seen
but hey! what is that odd, but by now nearly familiar clonk?
it can’t be!?
can it be?!?
nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
the brand new tube has punctured
so, on the brand new tube, siggimus managed go a whopping 1,4 km, in about 3 mins, in the icy icy icy freezing cold
going back those same 1,4 km, bicycle with punctured rear tire in tow, takes 15, in the icy icy icy freezing cold
… to get the car & drive to work on carless day :s
so, happy fucken carless day!

enfin l’été – adieu l’été
summer's over no sooner have you sung enfin l’été & voilà l’été than it’s time for adieu l’été
still, no reason to complain, feel forlorn, despondent, or glum my chum, or — godsforbid — woebegone, this year we got 5 days of summer
that’s far above the average
so, let’s all sing along:
Les Négresses Vertes – Voilà l’été

voilà l’été
voilà l’été
voilà l’été
voilà l’étévoilà l’été, j’aperçois le soleil
les nuages filent et le ciel s’éclaircît
et dans ma tête qui bourdonnent
les abeilles!
l’entends rugir les plaisirs de la vie
c’est le retour des amours
qui nous chauffent les oreilles
il fait si chaud
qui’il nous poussent des envies
c’est le bonheur rafraîchi d’un
cocktail
les filles sont belles et les dieux sont ravisenfin l’été
enfin l’été
enfin l’été
enfin l’étéenfin l’été,
mais y’a déjà plus d’argent
le tout paris se transformé en phobie
le métro sue tout devient purulent
dans ses souliers, le passager abruti
a dix doigts d’pied qui s’expriment
violemment
y’a plus d’amis les voisins sont partis
l’été paris c’est plutôt relaxant
on rêve de plage
et la seine est jolietoujours l’été
c’est pas du superflu
il fait trop chaud, le soleil m’abasour
dit
rillettes sous les bras
j’avance dans la rue
j’pense à ces cons qui s’font chier
dans l’midi
tous ces torches-culs qui vont cuire
dans leurs jus
tous ces noyés, la mer quel saloperie
et sur les routes les danger ca vous tue
vivement l’automne, je me sens tout aigritoujours l’été
toujours l’été
toujours l’été
toujours l’étévoilà l’été, j’aperçois le soleil
les nuages filent et le ciel s’éclaircit
et dans ma tête qui bourdonnent
les abeilles!

sonic boom
that loud noise this morning?
that was probably the sonic boom caused by siggimus cycling by at lightning speed, risking life & limb, seeking to gloriously better his previously (& thitherto undisputed) world record (& personal best) at cycling from his house to his work!
so, that one is now in dispute, old news, has-been, as it has been bettered!
so, there is a new (hitherto undisputed) world record (& personal best) at cycling from siggimuses house to siggimuses work!
trattera! read’em & weep (sob even & water mice & whatnot):
- total time: 00:15:10!
- distance: 6,86 km
- avg spd: 27,1 km/h
up from 15:27, that’s a besting of 17 seconds! best that!
(click that thingy to see bigger & those thingies to see further exhibits of proof)
-
is it true?
(hitherto) indisputable proof of the world record!yes it is!
having been pretty close yesterday, siggimus today manages a (hitherto undisputed) world record (& personal best) at cycling from his house to his work!
(at 6,84 km, that makes an average speed of 26,6 km/h)

victory
is ours!
after all that hard work, victory in our company size group is ours!
(actually, crushing, demolishing, annihilating victory is ours)(leftmost plaque – most days cycled per person – 12,16 (out of 13)
rightmost plaque – most kms cycled per person – 264,39)mind you, the proof is in the pudding!
