3) pad see ew from UN
4) fusion sushi from umi and the likes of

yesterday i borrowed fede's bike. a terrible wreck of a machine, but it was about the funnest thing i have done in a while, cycling around the city. made me feel rather invincible for one because i felt like i never have to spend another cent on a cab and i can go just about anywhere i need with a bike in quite a flash. also before this i never noticed how many cyclists there are around. but when i am cycling, it is almost like i'm in a parallel universe and see only other people on bikes while pedestrians are almost phantasmic, just bodies that get in the way of me and my speed machine.

but the uneven roads and sidewalks make for a bumpy ride and you know the painful result of that.
