Prayers for Rain

Hey every­body! Come back to the site again, huh? Well, I got a whop­per of a story to tell you today… just kid­ding. My day wasn’t any­thing spec­tac­u­lar. But read on any­way… it’s good for you!

First I woke up, gave Peggy a wake up call for her 8 AM midterm, and took Ian to the Sacra­mento Inter­na­tional Air­port. I just love say­ing that, because it’s one of the most ridicu­lous things I’ve ever heard. How on Earth is it inter­na­tional? I don’t even know if we have flights that go to Canada or Mex­ico, let alone transoceanic flights.

Came home and read comic books for a while, then had brunch with Peggy at Cindy’s Restau­rant in South Davis. It was our first time there, and I thought it was OK, but she didn’t enjoy her food too much. I had the Monte Cristo, by the way. It’s a sandi­wch with ham, chicken breast, Swiss cheese, and Amer­i­can cheese. And it’s deep-​fried. The thing basi­cally tastes like a sand­wich made with French toast. And for those of you won­der­ing what not to get, Peggy had some sort of fish sandwich.

Dropped Peggy off at home after that and wished her luck on her sec­ond midterm of the day. Went back to the apart­ment and read some more comics before doz­ing off for a while. Becca and Thu came over and we watched VH1 for a while, then watched Bleach on my com­puter. I was in and out of sleep the whole time, but re-​watching the series did remind me of this line that I really liked -

“If I were the rain that binds together heaven and earth, whom in all eter­nity will never min­gle, would I be able to bind two hearts together?”

Yeha, yeah, so I’m feel­ing sappy at the moment. Any­ways… Joe M mes­saged me about going to the mall, and I agreed, since I needed to get some­thing. Kinda left Becca and Thu at the apart­ment when I went with him and Jenny. Sorry about that, you two! ops: My only excuse is that I was still groggy. Went to Joe M’s first, where he show­ered, and we met up with TJ. The four of us set off, stop­ping at Old Sac first so Joe M could get a bunch of hats for who knows what. Then we stopped by Arden real fast before it closed. The guys went to Hot Topic, and Jenny went to Wet Seal. Oh, for those of you won­der­ing what it was I had to get… this is it. Yeah… I have a bit of a Jolly Roger fetish, and since the shirt is no longer listed on the Hot Topic web­site, I was wor­ried they were dis­con­tin­u­ing it. Grabbed the very last one in store that would fit me, too. It was tag­less and buried in between a cou­ple of extra smalls. Now I need to get this and this, and I think I’ll be happy with the whole ninja-​pirate thing. The first of those two only has XL and S left, though.

On the way back, we were talk­ing about where to go eat, and that sparked today’s quote -

“Guad. We need to con­di­tion you, LB.”- TJ.
“Huh, what you mean, you have to con­di­tion her?”- Me.
“Jenny doesn’t like bur­ri­tos, or the peo­ple who make them.”- TJ.

Which she denies. Well, she denies the people-​hate. So yeah, we got bur­ri­tos, and Jenny got a frozen pizza at Albert­sons, and then we went back to the apart­ment to watch Jenny’s copy of Ong-​Bak. Her ver­sion has Eng­lish subs, but some of the more dis­turb­ing scenes were cut. After the movie, every­one took off. Some went home, some went to Michow’s birth­day party. I didn’t want to go, since I heard they were at Café Bernardo’s right now, and I don’t want to go to a bar and not drink.

Today’s table of slip-​ups:

I was doing really good, too, but then I slipped up twice while com­ment­ing on the movie. On the drink­ing front… the desire is slowly gnaw­ing at me. Def­i­nitely been tempted, but haven’t given in yet! Oh, and Michow… happy birth­day, and I’m def­i­nitely going to take a wiki with you after Lent!
