is this thing on?

So, out of desperation, I've started to consider the possibility that my email account for 'project pedal' is unstable... in reality, it's probably very, very unlikely. But, I'm waiting for reply's from: trek, nashbar, blogger's support team, the crew in belgium, a guy who designs very low-cost, high-end fully maneuverable cranes… as well as many other individuals who I won't go into at the moment. And this isn't simply my being impatient, oh no, it's been days. In some cases, weeks, I've sent follow-up letters. I'm stuck here waiting from some kind of signal from twenty different contacts...


On a slightly less frustrating note: out of boredom, I’ve been tweaking with the template for the website, working in ‘comments’ [those will probably be up as soon as blogger writes me back], unfortunately the behavior of this site’s “permalinks” causes a few commenting-problems, but they should be up and running in… well, who knows, soon I hope. I’ve also been laying out a new “official” site for ‘project pedal’, as we get closer and closer to production/ the trip I would like for the site to have a more “user-friendly” face to it. Instead of the ‘blog’ being the home page, it [this blog] would be a link on a simpler, cleaner site design.

Well, it’s late and I should be getting to bed, in the morning I have to get up and take the car in – just as we’re trying to save money for the trip; everything expensive around us starts to break down. “Typical”. But before I get up from where I’m sitting, and walk two feet over to the bed - I wanted to link to David Duchovny’s blog for his new film ‘House of D’, this might be old news to a lot of you considering he’s found his way onto blogger’s “blogs of note” listings. It's strange, but one of the things I like most about his site is that he writes in all lower-case letters… I can’t explain why it is that I find that appealing, but I do. To hell with proper grammar [as I get excited and start to blurt out incomplete sentences]. All the same, I’m looking forward to seeing this film.
