the right start

a monkey-gland spur burger was well-placed for breakfast. our friendly waiter ismael's vigorous head-nodding didn't manage to convince me of the chocolate fruit-shake, though. chocolate is a bean, not a fruit.

on the way into town one of the guys pushing "the big issue" knocked on the window, and asked what subjects one needs to learn at school if one wants to become a fortune-teller. shadowslight's initial answer was finance, but i thought about it and the semantically correct answer is accounting.

i spent the afternoon with my canadian family and family friends, and it was relaxed and pleasant. i even did a substantial amount of driving, which was much-needed. after a chinese take-out dinner, i drove my mom back home before going out with noddie to a really nice place in town (nick's?) for a couple of drinks.

now i'm tired and i've had a lot to drink... but here showering before bed is a pleasure, not a chore :)
