sometimes you think you’ve won, but you haven’t, because the game just isn’t over yet.

the infamous laker flag sighting game (see archives for explanation, i don’t want to talk about it right now) i thought i had clinched with a mid-november sighting turns out to have gone to the unlikely winner, neither dom nor myself, but our friend shannon. she says this morning driving hom from ralph’s, on fucking december the second, she saw a faded, beat up lakers flag still flying proudly from the car of the man who is unarguably the lamest man in los angeles. i hang my head in shame and clench my fists in jealous anger at her for having seen it instead of me; but i have to say–well done, miss shannon. well done.

that bitch.

in other news, this will be the last week of classes, i fly home two weeks from yesterday for a well-deserved and highly anticipated break from all this school business, and goonies was on tv last night. not a bad run, so far. i’m really in the home stretch here, too, because it looks like most of the really bothersome business is behind me at this point. in this case, i know for sure when the game ends, and if i don’t have the highest score ever it won’t be as important as the fact that i had a good time and get to start fresh again soon. i know that’s what i’m really in need of anyway.
