Today was a good day. I don't mean that the way Ice Cube says it, but in a whiter sort of fashion. For those who are not aware, I have been taking cold showers since I moved to this apartment. Today, that ended. I now have gas, but I had the guy shut the valve on my stove, because I'm raw like that. After the gas man left I took a walk around my neighborhood. I walked through the park and hit up the $.99 store for mangoes and peppers. After this I just hung around my place until Lindsey, one of my very favorite people, came up to pay me a visit. I first showed her my apartment, then we took off to Amoeba, where we both did quite well in the clearance section. I picked up a Cryptacize album and an album by a band called Butter (I based my decision to buy on the track names, and Yuka Honda) each was only $1.99. I also found Deerhoof's Milk Man. Lindsey got The Bird and The Bee, Bjork, PJ Harvey and a couple of Beth Orton albums, all for about $12.00. I also picked up a gift for a friend... I found a great 7" for $.50 that I already own, so therefore I had to buy it for someone else.... That lucky guy doesn't even know how lucky he is yet.
After Amoeba we were hungry. We figured that eating at my place would make the most sense, and even though I had plenty of food already we went to Whole Foods so we could have too much food. It was great. Raw cake and ice cream and chocolate and kombucha... endless fun. After a while it was late and Lindsey had to make the long journey home, but not before sampling some of the tracks from our newly acquired compact discs.
Now I am eating more food and watching Lucy, Daughter of the Devil. I also played my favorite late night game, "Drive the Car" just a little bit ago. Zip through downtown, gawk at the homeless, pull back into my gated parking lot... all very exciting.
