i tell ya...

the internet here is about the least reliable thing on the planet. in the last 3 days it has worked no more than 3 hours. maybe it has worked more than that, when i dont need it of course. but it is getting really annoying. at home i dont think i would care to much, everyone i email with is phoneable. but here, trying to figure out race details and all. it is really bugging me. especially cause i paid a insane price for it.
anyways. yesterday. hot.

today the usual wednesday, choco rice perals, two classes. absolutley starving. lunch. then digestion time. i worked a bit on my witch hunting paper. i got the hardest part done. the intro! horray! then for a bike that made me really grumpy. first it was hot, and windy. then my legs were tired. my bike was making really annoying sounds (the bottom bracket/crank arm clunk), that was really pissing me off. then my stomach started hurting. and i got a headache somewhere in there...so not a good bike today.
on the way home i remembered the "self-help bike work shop" so i stopped by. and luckily it was open so i cleaned then tightened my crank arms. the way home (all of 2 minutes) no noise. so hopefully tightening it was the fix. after not have the noise my mood was much improved. got home. nutellaed up some bread and starting eating it. the second piece i noticed a large piece of mold. my stomach hurt even more for the next half hour. eventually that calmed down and i was able to function again.
now that my bread was moldy i wanted new bread. as i was leaving i noticed some abandoned bottles (turn them in get money) so i took those. made 24 cents. and then instead of buying a whole loaf of bread, that will mold. i got a half loaf. i did this before but i ate it in 2 days. but i guess that is good. fresh bread is always better.
tonight i am finally going to eat the speghetti i have been craving since sunday. and then at 9 the germans play. i can already hear the parties starting...
hopefully all the bikers will be partying as well. then tomorrow will be hard for them! hehehe.

on the side: for those of you who have Google Earth. search "Schwägalp, Switzerland" that is the name of the place on the side of the mountain i visited.
