It's been one helluva month. Where to begin?

I had my nose broken Saturday night. Five stitches. It doesn't hurt nearly as much as u'd think (but then i've always have a high tolerance to pain). The stitches come out Friday.

I helped a friend steal back her bicycle. The stupid thief had stashed it all of a block-and-a-half away from my friends apartment.

I broke on of the cheap plastic pedals on my bicycle and it took half a week to get metal replacements because the local bike shop only stocks the cheap plastic pedals in the 1/2 inch thread (everything else is 5/16 it seems), and it didn't help that there were problems with shipping (apparently on the supplier's end, just one of the typical SNAFUs of living in a bureaucratic civilisation).

Karaoke has been going well. The locals seem to love my rendition of "Elvira" by The Oak Ridge Boys and "Sunday Morning, Coming Down" by Johnny Cash.

We had a freak windstorm a few days ago (Friday if memory serves), some trees uprooted and other snapped at the trunk 10-20 feet off the ground. I shot about half-a-roll of the aftermath, just in the Vienna Woods (that's still in camera) and i have three rolls ready to be developed once i get paid at the end of the month.

* I photographed this robin in my back yard, the end of this past April.
