Okay, just moments ago I witnessed the last few moments of a guy on a bike flying over someone's hood. Nothing severe, just the fact that guy on bike + car in path + law of motion = ouchie. The guy looks okay, more shaken than anything (and the girl in the car looks more embarrassed than shaken). Most damage being a few bits and bobs on the guys bike falling off.

It's interesting who thinks they own the road in this city. Pedestrians clearly think they have the God-given right to walk where they want, when they want, and how they want, despite the fact that one may actually be hindering someone else in the process. Cars? Well...they DO own the road to some extent, but the drivers' problem is not realizing that there are others around. And the bikers? Well, they're in an all-out war with everyone because cars like to run them over and pedestrians get in their way.

I think the accident I saw was one of those both-at-fault moments. The girl probably didn't notice the guy coming down the hill, but clearly the biker should have noticed and been prepared to stop if need be. But it further proves the point that a lot of people here just don't pay enough attention and think they own the road. ;)

For those who don't read [livejournal.com profile] die_joncswerk, my writing-only blog (and you are more than welcome to f-list it if you so desire), here's the short version:

The IWN and Radio Radio (aka Decline and Fall) are both back on hiatus until futher notice. Why? Because I've come to the 'kicking a dead horse' conclusion with these things for now. I think I've worked on them a little TOO much for a little TOO long. Time to put them away. Along with some other projects that have been sitting around forever.

Which means...I have no idea what to write now, except for the fact that I was going on in an earlier post today that I really want to write a science fiction and/or fantasy series, but I have no idea WHAT to write yet.

Hmm.

Oh, and [livejournal.com profile] emmalyon has started reading Love Like Blood and is currently ripping it to shredsgiving it a cold read. And, writer/internal editor that she is, she's finding a LOT of stuff that still needs work. Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I just want this damn thing PUBLISHED already!!! :p

That is all. Good night. :)
