A Jackolantern Schwinn.

I’m about to go on a hoodie, gloves, and jacket wearing bike-ride.  The cold is coming.  The snow is coming.  Seriously though, who doesn’t like Fall??  The leaves here are beautiful.  Not as pretty as up North, but still beautiful.  It’s sunny outside right now.  All blue, not a spec of cloud, ‘cept maybe in the Western horizon.  Not sure yet what I should listen to.  But I have discovered recently that my very large headphones make for great ear-muffs as well as music deliverers.  My Dad gave me this bike he’s had for slightly over 20 years now.  It’s this old-ass Schwinn.  Handle bars that swoop up and out, eventually curving to sit perpendicular to the rider.  The complete opposite of mountain bike handle bars.  I love that thing.  She was probably so high tech in her day; one of the pioneers of a 10 speed (or more) bicycle.  I don’t ride a bike like it’s some sort of statement though; I’ll leave that to the Uptowners.  No idea what I’m going to be for Halloween, it’s looking to be getting too late.  Something REALLY controversial… It’d be rad to go as an abortion, but how the hell would one pull that off?  I’ve wanted to get a group of Ten together for years now, and go as bowling pins.  You know, walk in one big triangle everywhere.  I’ll say this much… two most popular costumes this year: women=Sara Palin, men=The Joker (obviously the Ledger version).  Both of those will be completely overblown and overdone.  Oh well.  It happens every year.  Excited for Local H tomorrow at First Ave.  I’ve been wanting to see them there for years.  Got Astonishing X-Men in the mail yesterday.  If Ellis can pull this off well, this is the best usage of Globalization in X-Men since Morrison’s “World Tour” arc.  I just realized that Chapter 5 in Watchmen is completely symmetrical.  Pg. 1 is the mirror of the last page, page 2 is the mirror of the second to last page, etc.  Awesome.  Nothing here of use, or interest for anyone… of course.  Shit- I’m off.
