In which details are glossed over.
I've been enjoying life of late. I'm not really looking forward to going back to work.
Went up to visit Kait a couple weekends ago, and despite car troubles, we went to the Baltimore Aquarium an had a lovely time. Pictures are up on Facebook. I also experienced quince paste, which is something I should like to do again. I got to see my brother for a short interval, in which there was a game of pool. Also got to see Mike that weekend, and his new puppy.
This past weekend I went up to Richmond for the Murphys Kids CD release show at Alley Katz, which was pretty bitchin', despite the excess stage diving and the disappearence of my hat. I got to see even more awesome people than I expected, and smash into them with my soulder. Tossed a football around in the middle of a Richmond street and drank cheap vodka out of a drawstring bag at the afterparty. Stayed that night and much of the next day with some of Brian's friends, who are wonderful people I'd like to know better. Despite car troubles, we spent the next day at the river, in the sunshine, with the swiftly flowing water and the deadly rocks and the remainder of the vodka. It was a good day. I had so much fun that I forgot to remember how hungry I was, with the result that by the evening I suffered the most acute hunger and weakness I have ever experienced in my life. No, seriously, I had to stop twice to rest on the quarter-mile walk back to the car. It was some crazy shit, yo. Luckily, one of our companions knew the location of an EVERYTHING restaurant. No, seriously. This place had pizza, burgers, fries, subs, fried chicken, biscuits, falafel, gyros, fried fish, and everything in between. Amazing.
Although my funds are dwindling, I really don't want to go back to work. I like my freedom. I like travelling. I like lazy days by the river. But I suppose I have to be a constructive member of society sooner or later.
I have decided what I would do if I won the lottery. It involves BDSM and quail eggs.
In any case, I don't do these chain-ish internetty things very often, because they're nearly always, well, stupid. But as this one actually involves the real world, well, I guess I can give it a whirl. I'm still a snob, honest! But here goes:
The first five people to respond to this post will get something made by me.
This offer does have some restrictions and limitations, so please read carefully:
1. I make no guarantees that you will like what I make. What you get is what you get.
2. What I create will be just for you, with love, or at least with gusto.
3. It'll be done this year.
4. I will not give you any clue what it's going to be. It will be something made in the real world and not something internetty. It may be weird or beautiful. It might or might not be edible.
5. I reserve the right to do something strange or quirky, but I promise not to embarrass you in public. I also reserve the right to do something fairly predictable and boring, but with, you know, thought and love.
6. In return, all you need to do is post this text into a note of your own and make five things for the first five to respond to your note.
This offer is null and void if I do not see you post your own note to pay this forward.
Have fun, kids.
