i went to the balcony last night, but only long enough for a quick chat and a beer. the music was great. then i walked home, slightly tipsy after a long, long day, brushed teeth and showered in slow-motion and dropped into bed.

i woke up this morning a little later than i'd intended, dressed and hopped a bus to orange's service center. the line for the technician didn't take more than 15 minutes, but the line for actual service took over an hour. at least by the end of it all i'd gotten everything sorted out.

i walked to my old apartment building and retrieved my surfboard. i returned all keys and picked up my post, and left that forsaken place for hopefully the last time. i walked to work - with the board, fooled around at work for about 3 hours - i'll admit to doing a bit of work too, if pushed, and then walked home - with the board.

the kid joined me as i had a sandwich at cafe bazel (la dee da), and i've been watching episodes of hunter x hunter off the link from last night. i wanted to watch prison break, but the listings are all off the mark :(

the kid's brother and his girlfriend have just arrived. i'm contemplating getting a move on towards the lizard - a friend from the base's birthday party.
