Fuck you, waves!
Grunioning yesterday, and I'm an idiot, because I let the waves top my boots again. But it was much warmer this time, so I just went barefoot and splashed around the waves, chasing grunion which was more fun than just standing around in my rubber boots. I kinda wish I had gotten a fishing license, actually, so I could have caught some, but considering we didn't even see any at all last time, I wasn't sure it'd be worth it.
Also the Santa meow Monica police came driving by with their big ol' search light (which, for the record, might adversely affect grunion spawning). I went over and talked to them on their way back down, and I guess one of the grunion greeters is friends with some police, and got them to drive him around in a comfy warm car, kind of like a sultan surveying his city. Riiiight, because that is how you want to observe nature. I'm sure he saw lots of fish. Whatevs! But they were nice at least.
In other news, I am also an idiot because I missed suuuuuper cheap fares to Malaga ($316RT!), and now tickets are almost double that. bah!
But I am eating a farmers' market avocado and some sushi, so I guess things really aren't that bad. (I tell myself to keep from kicking myself in the arse!)
