Time to answer the questions from my last post.
Q. Do you ride a bike? Tell me about it! Does it have a name?
I have two bikes - soon to be four if I have my way. My first, very reliable and oldest bike is named Frankie. Frankie is a brown ladies cruiser ("Free Spirit"). Steel rims, steel frame, heavy as fuck. Ten speeds but I only use four. I also only use 2 of my six softnesses of sketching pencil. I don't need that many variations. Frankie rattles a bit but I've done quite a bit of work on it (not a him or a her, an it) and I love it dearly.

My second bike is tentatively called Isabelle. She's a bright red, super-shiny Raleigh road bike, also heavy as a bitch. White grip tape - so pretty - but there's ALWAYS something wrong with this bike. I've done SO much work on it and it's never been in perfect condition. Argh, I just want to sell it. Right now my roomie is riding it.
This spring I'm planning on building a little road bike for myself, light frame, MAYBE fixed gear but more likely a five speed freewheel. I also want a li'l minibike for bombing around on and for events and such.
Q. What is your morning routine?
My alarm clock goes off at 8:02am. I hit snooze three times. It's almost 8:30 at this point. I've snuggled with my cat a bit by now. I get up, choose some underpants, do my thing in the bathroom. My cellphone alarm goes off at 8:35am; if I'm still in bed, I get up, and on weekends it wakes me up so I can go about my day. At around 9am I make breakfast, do anything I need to do that morning, then get on my bike and head to work.
If it's grey out I'm usually in bed til at least 8:45 and sometimes 9:15; I don't have to leave the house til 9:30. I can't use the computer in the morning or else I am late for work. It's hilarious.
For breakfast I usually have a bowl of muesli with rice milk, shredded coconut and any extra nuts or dried fruits that I have around. If I have frozen bananas and some extra time I make a smoothie with some warm oatmeal, frozen banana, coconut milk, shredded coconut and cocoa. Amazing...

But I've been told a lot lately that I have a bad sweet tooth. I think it might be a Cuban thing because I never got that back home. For example, I drink a latt-ish Cuban equivalent that is a lot sweeter than regular coffee, and I grew up on another drink called guarapo which is raw sugar cane juice.
Interestingly enough, I've never been all that into candy though. I never ate wrapped candy stuffs or chewed gum or any of it. Which is why I didn't get that deep fried candy bar at breakfast, that sounded like death on a stick.
