I have no luck with this stuff! I began coating my longboard deck with water-based polyurethane and as I applied the first coat last night, I realised how shyte I really am with brush work. Anyway, you can see the "streaks" of the brush and this morning, when it dried, some bubbles. Now I've got to sand this thing a bit and hope that the fine grit will be able to remove those imperfections… ACK!!

I had more luck cutting out the design on the grip tape, though. I can't wait 'til I'm done with this thing and actually get to cruise with it!

Happy Birthday to Ed! w00t! Hope you don't give up cake for Lent cos you'll probably be having some today.

Speaking of Lent — today is Ash Wednesday for all my Catholic friends. Fast & Abstinence, my dears. Fast & Abstinence. ^_^

I'll be posting later what I'll give up for Lent…

Can you believe this is the 5th installment of the Random-Points-of-Interest weekly thingys? It should've actually been 10 or more by now (cos of that journalling break I took) but let's live today and enjoy the, er, today– I mean, present!

Exhibit 9: Fortune Cookie
Who doesn't like fortune cookies? It's sweet, crunchy and has a little treat inside! Of course, on this site, you'll skip out on the sweet and crunchy bits but the little treat(s) should more than make up for it. And oh yah, it's brought to you by moi.

Exhibit 10: The Longboard Store
Ok, so this isn't a site, per se — but it is random! As the title states, it's a store dedicated to longboards. But why present this one in particular? Well, aside from the excellent selection of all things related to longboard (skateboards) I thought I'd share it cos shipping is free. Yes, that's quite rare for a store to give you free shipping, especially since some of the products here weigh more than 2 lbs.

See you at the next RPI!
