OK, back to a week of backlog to cover. I had hoped to get more done before I left for Santa Cruz, but that didn’t happen. Then I was going to update yesterday, when I got back, but it was so hot I couldn’t think. And Janice went to sleep early, so I didn’t want to use the computer at night.
But enough excuses… here’s last Monday. Woke up and tried to go online, but internet wasn’t working. Took Peggy to class so she could have a little extra time to study for her midterm and ran some errands on campus and downtown. They didn’t take as long as I expected, so went home and called up Comcast and bitched at them to fix my internet, which they did. Went online and almost immediately got sucked into Literati. The games have been getting harder and harder as people get better at word placement.
After a while, I got hungry and tired of using my brain during the hottest part of the day, so I chatted with Peggy for a bit. Guilted her into splitting her lunch with me. I felt really bad about it because I jokingly loaded a comment with max guilt, and she seemed to take it very seriously, and I tried to turn her down, but then she came up with billions of excuses, so I ended up going over there.
Lunch was very good… it was kim chi and SPAM fried rice that Sophia C had made for her. Then Peggy, Po, and I went around town for some of their errands. I got to play with brainy toys in the basement of the Life Science Addition. I didn’t know it was there, but they are fun. And air-conditioned. I would definitely spend all my time there between classes if I had summer school.
After that, Peggy and Sophia C were going to go to Walmart, but I was tired, so I went home for a nap. But as soon as I got home, Kitty called me up and asked me to come over and fix her computer. Her desktop kept restarting itself in the middle of loading up Windows, and I told her a system file probably got corrupted, and she would probably have to reformat. Quote comes from when Kitty was studying as I was checking out her box and we were discussing Poli Sci/IR stuff.
“Want me to teach you about the democratic peace theory?”
- Kitty.
“Sure.”
- Me.
“Really?!”
- Kitty.
“Yeah, it sounds like something I learned in Poli Sci 3.”
- Me.
“OK, the democratic peace theory says that there will always be peace between two countries as long as they both practice a form of democracy.”
- Kitty.
“Yeah, that sounds familiar. Tell me more.”
- Me.
“… that’s it.”
- Kitty.
And then she moved on to her next flashcard. Jane P made dinner and they asked if I would eat with them, so I did. After that, Kitty went back to studying, so I went back to my place.
Peggy and Sophia C called me up, and they were going to have dinner and watch movies, so they asked me to come over. Oh, and to bring movies. And an onion. So I went to Safeway to get an onion (and some juice, because I was freaking thirsty), and got Drew from his place, since he wanted to watch movies, too. When we got there, I told the girls I had just eaten at Kitty’s, and didn’t want any, but they shoved a bowl of rice in my face anyways. 
We watched 50 First Dates, because Sophia C hadn’t seen it yet. She also hasn’t seen The Sixth Sense, which 50 First Dates ruins. (But it had already been ruined for her.) Then we watched some Family Guy, and Sophia C got tired, so I took everyone home.
Wasn’t tired when I got home, so I watched The Twelve Tasks of Asterix. Great movie; those old-school Frenchies knew what they were doing. I haven’t seen it since I was a kid, and it made a lot more sense to me now that I have a better grasp of the English language. Passed out after that, because it was still so hot upstairs, I had to go downstairs.
