recording, drugs, theft

I’ve been stuck inside for 3 days now with a ridiculous toothache that
prevents me from thinking straight. Had to cancel brass band rehearsal last night, couldn’t busk with
Tobias yesterday, could only practice for
20 minutes today. Boo hoo. Even the codeine my dentist prescribed ain’t
doin’ it.

The upshot is that I’ve put lots of work into the website (finally, I
registered the thing a month ago now). Feeling nerdy….

Sunday my bike was stolen when i stayed overnight in Berkeley. I walked
to the Ashby bart station to come home, walked past the drum circle that
happens every Sunday, and there was my bike, leaning against the wall. I
asked the nearest guy if he knew anything about the bike, he said no. I
said it was mine, stolen, & i was taking it back, to which he replied,
“you can’t do that!” Of course I can. “But what if someone bought it from
the person who stole it?” Too bad.

Unfortunately, they managed to screw it up a good bit in the 12 hours
they had it, & i’ve already (pre-repairs) spent $80 i don’t have for
new locks, helmet, toe straps. But that’s better than new locks, helmet,
toe straps, and bike.
