i can’t help but think that today, when i went to the cost plus world market, the group of people walking in as i left were speaking french as a joke for my benefit, and/or were hired by the store to legitimize the ‘world market’ tag on the store name. i’m fairly sure i’ve never heard french spoken anywhere else in los angeles. i’m convinced it had to be rigged.

even so — it’s good to be back. loved seeing the family, and got so many nice generous things from them you’d think they really love me or something. but there’s something to be said for sleeping in your own bed, then waking up and eating at your favorite philly cheesesteak stand. and now the next thing to be excited about: a vegas new years. oh yes, my friends, oh yes.
