I tried to take a picture with my phone but it didn't turn out well. Maybe I'll post it anyway. Dunno. And after my inner 1950s male relaxed, I discovered that roller derby actually is a sport and the ladies ... http://canyonjam.net/eblog/2008/06/22/rose-city-rollers/ Yeah, big surprise huh? I did a bit below average, ranking #22 out of 37 cars. My time was 3.7660. My car was clocked at--get this--131.3 MPH. Too damn funny. Anyway, if there's another one next year, seriously, I'm sending a twig with wheels. On a brighter note, I believe everyone who ... http://canyonjam.net/eblog/2008/05/18/threadle-manss-results-i-didnt-win/ I have not slept--really slept, as in REM sleep, dream sleep--in 3 days. Trazodone doesn't help. Melatonin actually wakes me up. I'm so exhausted I'm practically hallucinating, but I still can't sleep.

When I heard about Threadless.com's ThreadLe Manss competition I decided to give it a shot. How hard could it be? I've painted, I've sanded wood, I've used glue... KIDS do this crap every ... http://canyonjam.net/eblog/2008/04/29/threadle-manss-at-threadlesscom/ Yeah, another YouTube video. This dude is cracking me up, though. http://canyonjam.net/eblog/2008/04/02/and-david-blaine-is/ When I resurrected this new/old blog and transferred the posts from my old web server, I found a draft of a post that contained an incomplete meme.
