humble still-fast

if anyone ever feels like i'm overdue a nice, warm slice of humble pie, just remind me that i once took a shower in a public bathroom while a party was going on, and only realized once i was completely done that i'd forgotten my towel.

that was not a pleasant conclusion to an otherwise very pleasant shower.

i slept, although that's about as positively as i can put it. i woke up early, walked across to the fit house cafe to pick up a coffee. their schtick appears to be that those training have to keep running loops out and around the building, i'm guessing because the warehouse footprint is tiny. it's a lot of very serious, rather unfortunate-looking people running laps between the coffee shop patrons.

i sat in the hostel lobby with my coffee, putting some more work into my article on SPA hosting, then eventually went back to the capsule for an hour or two. listening to the wired for love audiobook and playing more bloons adventure time. i realize that my brain's skipped over some parts, and i think gd and i should try actively listening to it together as "homework".

eventually i got up, packed up and took a walk towards the school to pick up mr smear, after giving up on a few different places (sick patrons, no vegan options, and a packed supermarket full of the mentally differently-abled), i just sat down at a nice little coffee shop in spite of the lack of edible options.

i'm exhausted. but the weather's nice for the moment.
