I don't think those are two things that should necessarily go together, but I guess that's a testament to how strange my day has been. After cramming 5 hours of work at the slave house this morning, I met with
Carlos to set up and appointment and then found Amy when she got out of class. Came home and had lunch on our balcony because the weather is still beautiful. Minus the internet not working all afternoon, fuck you comcast, everything was comin' up Milhouse!
Until about six o'clock.
That's when I decided to take advantage of the last hour or so of daylight and go skateboarding. I've been loving these ledges of the pedestrian underpass near my apartment, so naturally I was just going to hit those up for my new favorite trick, the
bs noseslide (ollie up, slide along rail / ledge / whatever with the nose of your board). But on the way I brilliantly decided to epic fail a gap ollie. Great, bloody elbow & swollen wrist + palm before I even fucking get to where I was going. Shaking it off, I hit both ends of the ledges for a while and was having a great sesh. Progressively moving to higher and higher onto the ledge, I was hitting new slides pretty well for not having skated for a few days.
Then my fat ass decided to crack my board at the nose.
It wasn't a complete break, so I was able to angrily limp across the street to get a gatorade and then push home on a creaking, broken board. And that was epic fail #2.
Then at home with hurt hands and in need of a new deck, I decided to finally register my domain name. I did it through google,
but not through blogger, which turned into a fucking two hour nightmare which left me frustrated and upset and Amy mad as hell because of my shitty attitude.
I stepped away and talked to Amy about how terrible my evening had turned, and less than 15 minutes later I sucessfully linked my newly founded domain with the blog and was feeling much, much better about things.
And I wanted one of the new
Meta decks anyway.
