lower your eyelids to die with the sun

Before I get into my regular blog spiel I had something interesting happen. My girlfriend was borrowing my bike (her new bike, as I just got a new one) last monday and she rode it to school. Well when she got out class guess what, no bike! All that was left was a snipped lock on the ring post where the bike used to sit. She was upset but I told her not to worry it’s just a bike (I’m such a great boyfriend). Anyhow I thought well maybe I’ll report it to the police but that will almost certainly be fruitless. A few days pass and I am forwarded an article about an infamous bike thief ring leader who sells like all the stolen bikes in the city. Turns out he got busted paying some thieves to steal a bike. So today we were coming back from a wedding in london and decided to stop into the warehouse where they were displaying all the stolen bikes that were seized, there were about 200+ bikes there, and one of them was mine! I couldn’t believe it, after a bunch of paperwork and showing some photo print outs of the bike, the finally gave it to me. Katherine road it home very excited as it fits much better than the bike I got to replace the stolen one.
So now for the spiel. this past Wednesday I stopped at my friend Brett’s place and we did a little bit of video recording of him and Scribbons playing some blues music. Check it out!

That’s great you got the bike back! I had something “similar” about 2 years ago… We (me and Bernhard) got off the trainstation and wanted to catch the bike home, but it was gone… Turned out I could pick it up in a warehouse too. For 20 euros. The local government took it because we parked it wrongly. Good times.
The films are lovely! What’s better than a rooftop, food, booze, friends & music?
