Greg and Jo missed out…
Today is a mild sunny day with super sparkly water. Today’s high: 56. No rain in sight yet…
On the other hand, I have about $1000 in car damage to pay on my housemate’s mom’s car… >___<

To the bastards who stole my bike light and hex wrench
I hope the batteries go out - they were on their way out anyway - and that you strip your screws. I appreciate that you went to the effort of searching my saddlebag yet left my bike helmet that was hanging on the handlebars - safety is important for everyone. Not that I can afford to replace it yet, anyway - thanks, fuckers.

A smattering of recent events
Leandra’s gotten a job, and maybe 3, depending - all the responses came in on the same day, so despair was replaced by excitement and slight confusion - as in, will they all be fitting into a 24-hour day?
Bonnie’s coming on Tuesday!! And staying for a week!!!!! It’ll be really fun - we’re going to Dim Sum, and crumpets, and likely cupcakes, and a fancy dinner or two, and maybe a fun day trip, a museum…or something. Woo!
I had a tasty tuna-rita today (margarita with this bright pink-colored juice from cactus) and it was happy hour and cheap. Also had nopalitos (fried cactus bits) for the first time. I was surprised at how tasty they were, but I should’ve known - if it’s deep-fried, it’ll be something I like 
Going to bed now, but figured I’d update on life a bit.

There’s some sort of anxiety tapping going on here in the coffeeshop…
Not only did they steal my chair while I was outside on the cell phone, they also then proceeded to replace my chair at my table *then* sit in it. I had to crawl under the table to retrieve my shit.
Now, they’re all (15) saying “even though I crave this, and it smells so good, and I want to eat it so bad…” and tapping their “meridians” to relieve the stress and cravings…I suppose as a treatment for addiction? This is just after they watched a movie on their mac laptop that sounded like an infomercial on the tapping procedure. And then they go around asking each other what their stress level is on a scale from 1 to 5. Need I say that they’re all caucasian-looking? Then they ask each other whether they want to take a bite of the cookie they’re looking at, then encourage them not to eat it, then ask one another if it tastes as good as they expected if they go ahead and eat it.
Perhaps Tap, tap, tapping our way to health would enlighten me. Actually, nope. Here’s a sample comment from the article: “We are water beings living on a water planet.”

I’m free!…almost
Reasons I’m free:
Classes and papers are done, I miraculously got my place sublet for a month (so I’m only out $100 rather than $650), and I bought my ticket back to Atlanta.
Reasons I’m not free: I’m still working fulltime this week, my laptop still is virtually unusuable without an external monitor, I haven’t packed, and I still don’t know where I’m going in Peace Corps.
On the other hand, I finished Transmetropolitan, which warmed the curmudgeonly cockles of my heart. More on that later.
