josh and i just took a trip for cheeseburgers and record store cruising. since we had to take the bus, we had to make a night out of it, but it was a good time. honestly, putting an in and out burger and an amoeba music within a few blocks of eachother was the best thing to happen to me this semester. we grabbed some tasty burgers and then spent well over an hour in the record store. they just have so much great stuff! new and used. i got an ultimate fakebook and a jawbox cd, and josh went nuts and bought 8 cd’s because his conscience is catching up with him for having burned copies of cds by bands he really likes. it’s okay for him to go so crazy though because he got free money this week — but that’s his story to tell, not mine.

anyway, we were there forever, and looked at cool art concert posters and everything, then took the bus home. this was the funny part. on the way south back to campus, there was a guy across from us who sneezed really hard. into his hand. josh pointed this out to me whispering, “so that guy just blew a huge thing of snot into his hand, and now he’s staring at it — i wonder what he’s going to do about it.” so we watched him, and he kind of just put his hand in his lap for a minute, then brought it back up and looked at it again. i told josh he should go for either the rub on the pant leg, or maybe just rub it out between his two palms until it dried up and crumbled off. josh said if it were him, he’d go for wiping it on the shirt. neither one of us would have considered (we agreed afterward) doing what this guy did though. HE LICKED IT CLEAN! i couldn’t believe it. it was so hard not to bust out laughing. apparently that wasn’t enough for him either, because he went digging for more, and licked THAT clean too! it honestly blew my mind. i therefore dubbed this guy “mr. slurpy”.

now i’m not usually prone to toilet humor, but seeing this happen was too funny not to share. i hope you forgive me for this small break from the usually classy collapsing.

also: i sure am glad martin luther king jr. changed the world and i get to honor his memory all day tomorrow by not going to school. we’re even going to have a barbeque i think, since it’s california and you can do that in january here. take that, rest of country.

see you tomorrow when i wake up at about noon.
