I'M RICH COME ROB ME
i somehow came into money two days ago. zeeba finally paid me a hefty check when i went in there before going to work at red maple and confronted kris about it. he wrote me a check on the spot with a "no problem!" wave of the hand and a, "i won't even take out any taxes!" i.e. "please don't cause a scene because i haven't paid you in over two months and never had any intention of doing so."
then i made $52 an hour at red maple in 5 and a half hours (yes i averaged my tips into an hourly wage, and no, we're not hiring, go away), and that was pretty cool. and during the day i did a book promotion with shawn at the national book festival in d.c. for four hours which gave us some decent money.
but it was great because what i *really* got to do was watch the anti-war march and feel the energy and look at all the cool signs. our favorite was held by an adorable elderly man: "proud of my son [insert big picture of son's face]. ashamed of this war."
