Spectrum How You Satisfy Me

I know it's spring. I know it's spring because this weekend I accidentally broke the glass top of a lamp in an antique store and shelled out $100 for it, somebody stole my DJ bag with all of my CDs in it from behind the DJ booth at an afterparty, and I've been sick for the past two and a half days and I'm still in a relatively good mood. I think I might have lost my DVD player, too. Now, my weekend wasn't entirely bad apples and sour grapes - I saw Scorsese's Shutter Island (which I have to say, was a classic example of cinematic noir gone garishly right, especially the music), celebrated Richmond Lam's birthday and the 10th issue of Snap Magazine, and saw a lot of people I liked and love.

UPDATE: To all concerned citizens, my bag has been found, my faith in humanity: restored.

Nice Day for a Bixi

Richmond Lam, photographer & general nice fellow, had his first taste of the Garden of Earthly Delights yesterday when he rode Bixi for the first time. Citing a broken bicycle (he's going to get it fixed soon, he says) as the impetus for his first foray into Bixi land, the young man took to it like Icarus to his wax-wings, but without the melting and crashing. Remarkably solid things, those Bixis, and as our hero demonstrates above, mocassin-friendly.

(Yes, Eve, the Ganakoo is real.)
