The Passage of a Few People Through a Rather Brief Moment in Time #76 - Om to the Nom Nom

12.8.10

One or more persons during a certain period drop their usual motives for movement and action, their relations, their work and leisure activities, and let themselves be drawn by the attractions of the terrain and the encounters they find there.

It's a bike ride.

Started by user nathansnider and user theroyalacademy.

It meets every Wednesday at 8:30pm at California Donuts #21.
We ride at 9pm.
We'll endeavor to return before the last red line trains (around midnight).
See how we move.

On the second year of this bike ride, you might expect:
- more inconvenient passageways
- more full moon picnics
- perhaps more "cover" versions of other people's rides, performed with amateurish enthusiasm
- certainly more amateurish enthusiasm
- disorientation
- reorientation
- pool halls
- bowling alleys
- dance parties
- karaoke
- imaginary histories
- scavenging for fun and sustenance
- more geocaching
- more oblique strategies
- more Oulipian constraints
- traffic median tea parties

Furthermore:
- A medium pace (maybe not for beginners; certainly not a hustle)
- We're not in a rush; we don't need to run every light.
- 30-ish miles this week; a few hills
- Victory donuts!

This week:

Om to the Nom Nom



Cookie Monster is in many ways a rather poignant figure in the modern mythological canon.

What he craves is fleeting. Once he has experienced it, it is gone, and he is left with a greater hunger than ever. And yet we cannot fault him for this lack of foresight or restraint. He's a Cookie Monster, after all; that's his gig. He doesn't "do" satiety. He's all-in, all id.

Cookie Monster provides an instructive example, an endpoint of the continuum between pure consumption and pure production. To be in his presence is to be entertained, yes, even inspired (how can one not admire his unbridled joy for the cookie?), but also perhaps a bit worried. Is he going to be alright? Are _we_ going to be alright? Can this continue forever?

Indeed, for a Cookie Monster it can, and it will. He will continue to consume the cookie whole, unconcerned with consequences, full of joy. But we, lacking a Cookie Monster's enormous maw and insatiable appetite, must eat the cookie in bites. And one could argue that we are better off for this. Do we not get more enjoyment by savoring each bite individually than by eating the cookie all at once?

This week is all about the bites. The cookie is large, and we can only eat it bit by bit, but we will be maximizing our enjoyment by savoring each one.

Most of the bites are a bit hilly. One is a bit crunchy. All of them are rewarding.

Miles? 30.
Hills? Most definitely.
Offroading? Some.
Stairways? Yes: a small one and an (optional) _enormous_ one.
Views? Oh, you haven't _seen_ L.A. until you've experienced this view.
