a killer combination

last things first - my aunt makes chocolate-marshmallow brownies. they are DANGEROUS. un-fuckin'-believable!

my mom and i took almost an hour to find the bus stop. it was a fun walk. some nice lady offered us a ride down-town (hee hee), and we accepted (hell, the bus fair we saved greatly contributed to a pack of smokes). turns out that one of her sons is part of a project that has impressed me no end since i read about it in wired (the quadriplegic directly connected to a pc, who controls the mouse with his mind).

we had a very pleasant stroll through downtown. fun crowds, and an excellent ride through by hundreds of skateboarders, locking up an entire section of town. impressive ;)

and some very nice girls. i find it interesting - and worthy of semi-scientific observation - that the shape of girls' bums in this country is slightly different to that that i'm used to seeing (my mum agrees with me). needs a touch-test or two, i reckon.

we went into the cathedral - it is absolutely awe-inspiring. i have to admit, though, that seeing the depictions of jesus on the cross reminded me of the parrot sketch: "the only reason he was on his perch is that he had been nailed there". sorry guys, but i don't do churches so well. i know it's time to leave when i begin looking for the holy water so that i can re-create that scene from the devil's advocate.

we took a bus home, then went out for drinks, then came back for a huge barbecue supper (and godDAMN, but the food was goooood). then i drove some of the group home, returned, and am now on a definite move to get to bed.
