I'm about to leave for San Diego. Or, technically, I'm about to leave for Seattle. The train to San Diego leaves Seattle tomorrow morning. I'm going to SDCC with Jacob. On the train. To San Diego.
All caught up? I haven't been posting lately because I've been trying to live my live like a character in a Murakami novel. I mean specifically those parts in Murakami novels where the characters take care of mundane tasks like grocery shopping, making spaghetti, brushing their teeth, etc. Also, I've been killing time. Murakami's characters do a lot of time killing. Going to movies, calling up old friends for drinks, having drinks with more recent friends. Lots of drinks, actually. I've been officially drunk twice in the last seven days. People get drunk in Murakami novels quite frequently, but usually on whiskey. I tend to drink rum&cokes or mojitos, because then you can hardly taste the liqour. Mojitos are my "fancy drink".
I got a couch yesterday. A little couch that I bought off Kim and Ciaran for $25, since they're going back to Toronto this week. I like this couch a lot. It has a good feeling to it. It's much nicer than my Ikea couch. I mean, not so much nicer, but kinder? It's a happier couch. My dog likes it.
People in Murakami novels are always noting that objects are "obviously not new, but well cared for". I love that, for some reason. I'm always wiping down the rubber on my Converse sneakers and murmuring "not new, but well cared for...". My car, too, though in its case the point is debatable.
Where was I going with this? Oh right. Seattle. I'm all packed and everything.
See you when I get back.

I remember you yelling "Mojitos are my FANCY drink" when we were out. Hehe. That was one of the times I think I had to stop and sit before I peed myself.
Gooooooooooooooooooooooood timmmmmmmmmmmmmmmes.
I have been thinking about this "obviously not new, but well cared for" thing, and I think I need to put that into practice, with the not buying things, and just well-caring the things I have.
UPDATO POTATO!?
