bikey bikey

i decided to be ambitious last night and bike into the city for drinks. i think i did alright besides for getting a bit nervous when having to squeeze in between 2 lanes of cars at some intersections (those making a left turn and those going straight). post drinks, i was invited to a show in brunswick. i was hemming and hawing about going, since it's out of the way for me. finally i decided to put up or shut up, and go and have a late night out. i rode along and along and along, and had a funny but nice experience. it was of being buzzed, riding around in the dark alone somewhere i'd never been before, with no idea where i was going. and i enjoyed it. then i went waaaayyy farther down sydney road than i had to but hey, i had a nice tour of it and there weren't TOO many cars. i passed through the iraqi part of town, which was interesting. jimjim said he'd take me to a delicious iraqi restaurant and his description of the foods made my mouth water. i'm looking forward to it. i gave up when the commercial section was over and was going to pedal it home, and on the way i of course saw the pub. i stopped in for a drink and a chat, and rolled into bed at 1am. gasp of horror! surely not on a weeknight...
