Bicycle parking pass

6:44am JST Tuesday 1 September 2009 (day 14405)

Woke up early to get a bicycle parking pass for September. 1500 yen, which for me will definitely end up being cheaper than buying 100 yen daily tickets. Also got one for Soness; I'm sure she'll park there at least 15 times this month.

Most interesting: the line was *well* shorter when I left than when I arrived, and there was still plenty of time before 8am to get passes. I might remember this and come later next month. Go around 6:30, Future Rob!

Just made train

8:44am JST Tuesday 1 September 2009 (day 14405)

Whoo! just made the train. I zoomed on yellow bike, then up to third floor of parking garage with my shiny new pass, and then just made it to the door of the train as the door guy with a red flag waved it in the air to say 'go ahead and close the doze'

From an interview on Byte:

crock

9:44pm JST Tuesday 1 September 2009 (day 14405)

You know the phrase "see ya later, alligator!" should be followed by "after a while, crocodile!" which can be crudely followed by "after supper, mother fucker!"

Well, I thought of another really funny one a few days ago (and forgot it), but just now came up with another, so I think I'll try to jot some down:

1. after that, alley cat!

2. see ya there, grizzly bear!

3. see ya then, silly hen!

4. See ya now, spotted cow!

5. See ya soon, loon!

6. Later, dog!
