Going to see the Big Lebowski at New Belgium Brewery, which was a memorial for a CSU grad student who was killed by a drunk driver with she was riding her bike this summer. Then in true little achiever fashion managed to drink too many Caucasians and Fat tires, and crashed on my own bike, hitting the sidewalk head first. A fall that should have caused considerable damage. Except that given said drunken state, it merely resulted in loss of skin to my right cheek, a swollen eye, and considerable embarrassment when Anna's parents came to visit this weekend. (I'm a fucking idiot!)
