After years of what some would call a struggle, but I would call an enjoyable experience, I have somehow managed to stop picking/chewing my fingernails. I have no idea what triggered it, but I quite literally stopped cold turkey. My fingernails are now as long as they have probably ever been, and I’m discovering that I have no idea how to properly clip them. Seems really freakin’ crazy, but here I am, 27, and I’ve never had to clip my fingernails (except with my teeth).

I’m sure everyone is really excited about my fingernails, it really just makes for good reading.

The autoshow in LA is this weekend, and much like last year, I’ll probably head up there by myself. On Sunday, however, a co-worker and I are going to rent off-road motorcycles and wander out into the desert with a few other co-workers. I’ve never been on an off-road motorcycle but considering I’m a 27 year old single male, it really seems like something that I should have done in my life by now.

So here is my chance. I’m giving myself about a 5% chance of serious injury. 10% chance of coming away from the thing with a newly purchased ruined rental bike, and about 50% chance that I’ll just go really slow. The other 35% is reserved for doing backflips and wheelies, which I assume is a skill learned the minute I sit down on the thing.

Oh, last weekend in New York was amazing, thanks in large part, to an old friend (Roxie) and a new one (Michelle). I’m going to need a few more trips the the east coast in my near future. On the subject of trips, family is going to be here for Thanksgiving and I just bought plane tickets home and to Chicago for Christmas and New Years. I was hoping for something a little more exotic (I believe Peru and Hawaii were mentioned) but I gave up on that when I realized that if I didn’t buy tickets somewhere soon, they would be getting ridiculously expensive ridiculously quickly. Sorry sis; I know you wanted more

I’ll try for a few pictures from my motorcycling adventure this weekend, hopefully they are of fun smiling faces and not carnage…
