Fiesta
I ended up with the Fiesta. It's skinny, it's fairly small, but it should have room for my bicycles in the back and it should get good fuel economy... (25 currently, but seriously, I haven't driven a manual cage in ages... I'm getting the hang of it slowly, plus my commute is like 5 miles on the freeway, so I don't get to maintain speed for a very ( Read more... ) -
Cages
I've been looking at picking up a cage again in the hopes that it will help me actually get started riding my bicycle again this year (there is a justification for this - I mountain bike... getting a mountain bike to the mountain from the middle of a fairly flat city requires transport... motorcycles don't transport bicycles well.

Post-apocalyptic western
I've started writing project #3 now, though this one I'm already about 15% through. I'm trying the short story format again, which I feel i'm pretty horrible at. My aim is a "going home" story about 15000 words long.

Hooking for horror/mystery/future fantasy
I've written about 2500 words in Armor X. Re-reading them, I don't think they're bad, but I'm not sure they're a good enough hook for drawing a reader in.
