I forgot to mention about last night: Aaron came to the conclusion that his next big life goal was to get to professional level where he could survive off freelance work alone. When you do IT and Coding stuff, that's really a possibility. He said he wanted to go freelance so that he wouldn't be tied down to any one location so that he could arrange an apartment swap with someone in Buenos Aries for two months. Everyone's heading to Argentina right now. It's really popular. I think because 1. it's cheap, 2. there's lots of cocaine, and 3. it's the only country in Latin America where white people still run everything.
I got home around 10:30, and realised I was pretty buzzed. In a stoke of brilliance, I decided I had better start eating if I wanted to wake up bright and early without a hangover. The concept being that the food would dilute the alcohol in my system, etc., etc..
Unfortunately I not only woke up hungover, but also bloated.
I went for a walk around my work neighbourhood at lunch today and discovered some really unique shops! An organic bodega, a huge antique mall (looks overpriced), a shop that sells nothing but knives and scissors and all types of scary blades, and a dress-form store, which, apparently is a showroom entirely dedicated to retail mannequins. There's also a doggie daycare, and Jay Z's 40/40 club.
