clamchowder: August 2008

chain type

pretty gross i say, i'll stick to others.

music puts you in a good mood.

there is no point venturing further than what's necessary when you've got a playground only 15 odd minutes away. on the weekend, i rode my bmx bike on the big wooden banks, and concrete ledges that is the st.kilda foreshore. it was great fun.

sail boards make great launch ramps when propped up agaisnt a flimsy brick ledge.

i took a cliche'd photo of the face of luna park for a subject at university.

later in the weekend, i felt the need for exercise and re-visited st.kilda, but this time on a different bike.

the gravel was really fun to slide around on.

and that's it.

go out and party

but do so safely, without the assistance of any substances.

i'll help you build your bike!

Dre is just too kind, seriously.
If anyone needs help building their bikes, let me know. However you're going to have to top this^.

I saw The Strangers last night. Plot wise, it was a joke, but it made up for that with heaps of scares. Probably wasn't worth the $16 (forgot my student card, who seriously changes wallets to suit what jeans they wear?), but all good fun none the less.

Nice Rack

Literally.

the past week

Shelley now worships Jah, doesn't smoke ciggarettes, nor drinks coffee or alcohol, and has a balanced, ital diet.

However, I do drink coffee. I make a mean cappucino.

I had a huge (3 hour) break between classes at uni, so I went for a walk through the park.

...And also read some magazines.

I took some photos of my bike.

Today (Friday), we rode the St. Kilda area again. There was a big truck stuck in the sand and all the workmen were digging out around the tyres, and a Land Rover was trying to pull it out. The chain snapped once, and all the men were arking up.

I ended up hopping over this concrete ledge.

St. Kilda, I love you.

I like Lotek, and I like Macaframa. I wish all web edits/videos came in a HD format, for I'm a huge sucker for quality. If it ain't crystal-clear, then I'm not watching it. It's true, ask my girlfriend.

volkswagen is just awesome

Smooth transitions, forced ligatures.

arrooo!

That's the sound of a wolf.
Thanks Lotek, for pulling the strings to get one of the best prints in the world, on a seat.

No school yesterday

so i rode from prahran into the city to buy a seat with a purple and blue wolf printed on it, then proceeded to ride home to bayside.

james came home from uni and we decided to go and ride our bikes up at st. kilda along the new waterfront. it rained and was so slippery, james takes full advantage of the moist weather and skids for yonks and yonks.

i'm quite a fan of the wooden wedge/bank.

the sun started to go down, so we got our last skids in.

then went down the street where james bought some more nag champa.

saint saturday

Dr. Dre just finished building up his conversion, so we decided what better way to celebrate than taking it for it's maiden ride, along the bumpy bike path to saint of kilda.

view from the top of the big hill near elwood, just next to the pedo bushes.

the conversion itself.

i had a stick of nag champa lodged into my knog. it left a nice scent behind me, and around me when i was just crusing along at a snails pace.

draught down at the new st. kilda waterfront features.
cannot wait to hit that place up on the 20".

and again. james got some trampoline ice-cream as 7 apples is still closed, but will be re-opening in the summer months.

it started drizzling a bit, so we bailed and raced back our way with the wind behind us. we saw a rainbow.

cruising for a bruising.

luigi came round and we set off to safeway to purchase ingrediants for our gourmet chicken burgers.

we had some bread and olive oil as an entree. this oil is my own concoction, it included lemon peel, pepper, and rosemary.

shell's is always keen on some grab. too bad buddy, you're on a diet.

watched some of the olympics on the tv.

then baked some muffins. there wasn't enough choc chips in them so we mashed up some top deck and tossed them in the mix. result; some chunky, and hella chocolatey muffins. dope!
