workin for the weak end

Picked up zebulon_y at the airport tonight. We’re going to the LA Auto Show tomorrow. After that going to be free in the evening. Who wants to have dinner, and where?

Despite losing my wallet and freaking the fuck out about it earlier tonight, I managed to get zeb into his hotel and have a bit of time with the D’s crew. I returned home, starving, and consumed both chicken noodle soup and yogurt with blueberries.

I’ve had a lot of trouble communicating adequately with friends lately, because I’ve been depressed and anxious, which makes me selfish and not a good listener. Everyone seems to be behind a layer of wet cotton to me. People should know that I do give a damn about you, but for reasons of my own I’m not able to rise to the occasion.

Chicken noodle soup is everything they say it is, you know.

Overheard at the high class liquor store

Clerk 1: Yeah, I always had a bad self esteem thing going on, you know, with my looks.
Clerk 2: So with the chicks or whatever.
Clerk 1: Yeah. My brother always had some incredibly hot girl, he got this string of hotties. I mean, the girls you know, that I was with were always okay looking!
Clerk 2: Sure, like okay girls
Clerk 1: Yeah. But he had trophy after trophy.
Clerk 2: That would be cool.
Clerk 1: Hahaha, yes. Anyway, I never could wear shorts.

The Decline of Whatever This Thing Is

A comment just made on irc:

Halfjack: My friend is an archaeologist who also teaches classics. Last time he was in the US he was chatting with a young man on the bus and when he mentioned he was an archaeologist the young man became very excited that he was some kind of scientist and demanded to know about the current progress on flying skateboards.
