Happy Father's Day!
I took my dad out to a diner three blocks away called "Manny's." Got up early on a Sunday morning and everything. Which is quite remarkable, considering the fact that I was awakened at three am by roaches crawling up and down the wall six inches from my face; also the night before that I had got aproximately three hours of sleep, huddled on a friend's living room floor beneath a ragged blanket. A comfortable enough slumber but for the intense cold in the room; in our four am semi-intoxicated state it had not occured to us to close the windows -- in fact we went so far as to assemble our mattress on top of the blankets rather than beneath them, feeling that this would somehow save time.
In other news, today is also Paul McCartney's 64th birthday. You all remember the song, I presume? Written for his father, which is rather fitting considering the date his birthday falls upon. Please take a moment to go "huh" before you move on with your lives.
Anyone know a nice, non-fatal way to get rid of roaches? I was raised by Buddhists so I can't kill them. I fear the heavy-booted foot of karma squishing me into the carpet.
