I had to work this morning. I'm not really a huge fan of my job, but it's money so I can pay for my car and insurance, until I can find another one that is more suited to what I'm studying. Anyway, I'm working in this coffee hut--all drive thru--and a woman pulled up to get something to drink. I almost couldn't contain myself. Here was a 50ish aged woman, dressed in her normal attire, seemingly on her way to work for the day....wearing curlers. YES! Curlers! I didn't take a picture (mostly because that would be really innappropriate...but hell, I've done several inappropriate things before today...and partly because I was trying so hard not to laugh that the photo would have been damn blurry.) My coworker and I got a big laugh out of the situation after she drove off. If you want to, you can imagine that it looked like this:

After spending part of the morning and early afternoon at The Buzz drinking a few cups of coffee and reading for school, I felt pangs in my stomach. Hunger had set in and I needed food right away. I knew that I would be able to scrape up some food at the house, afterall, mom and dad have a million and a half eggs and 1513 cans of tuna at the house (I'm not sure why). However, after having had eggs or tuna nearly everyday for the past week, I really didn't want to eat it again. So, I stopped off at Jack-In-The-Box for a chicken sandwich. I pulled up the window to give the guy my cash and he said, "Do you want any Ranch or Fry Sauce?" Ahh, FRY SAUCE!!! It's been so long since I've lived in Boise that I had completely forgotten about the fry sauce phenomenon! I'm telling you, it's everywhere. One can even find it bottled in the grocery stores in this fine city. The funny thing is, anytime I've tried to explain to people what it is, they simply don't believe me. Of course, each establishment has their own recipe and name for fry sauce--special sauce, secret sauce, etc. And for proof, friends, here you go:

As I write this, I am typing on my BRAND NEW MACBOOK.

That's all.

No really, it says that.

Friends, it is freaking HOT in Sacramento. But, in attempts to lessen the amount of gas I use by driving my car around, I decided to walk to Darren's church to meet up with him so we could go fart around for a bit. Walking down 26th Street, I passed by a vagabond who was hacking up a lung. I thought I had seen him smoking, but as I neared, I realized he didn't have anything in his hand. I walked closer.

"Hmm, that smells nice," I said.

"You want some?!" he replied.

"Nah, that's ok. Thanks anyway."

"Are you sure?!"

"I'm pretty sure. Thanks though."

"Oh fuck man, you're not going to go tell on me, are you???"

I laughed and assured him that I wasn't going to rat him out for smoking pot on the sidewalk in Midtown.

The question is, does this mean that I am "approachable" (as they all say I am) or does it mean that I just have a tendency to draw the attention creepy-pot-smoker-types???

Lovely nephew Cooper!

Random thoughts in my head:

1. Today was my last day of work in California...atleast, for awhile. The funny thing is, I'm actually kind of sad to be leaving both of my jobs. I love my coworkers, clients, and customers. I loved my job. Weird.

2. Alo is throwing me an impromptu party tonight! Woot! All Bay Area locals are invited.

3. My next adventure begins TOMORROW!!! My solo road trip looks like this:

* Saturday, August 5 -- Mt. Cross Camp, Santa Cruz to see Ms. Sarah Johnson
*Sunday, August 6 -- Sunnyvale to see Jamie and Samir
*Monday and Tuesday, August 7 & 8 -- Merced to see my bro.
*Wednesday and Thursday, August 9 & 10 -- Sactowwwwwwwwwwn to see DZ!
* Friday, August 11 -- Arden Fair Mac Store to buy my computer, then off to Portland, Oregon for the night.
*Saturday, August 12 -- Spokane, Washington to see Ms. Theresa Johnson
*Sunday, August 13 -- Clint Kunze's Wedding
*Monday, August 14 -- Drive to Boise to live with my parents for the first time in 10 years.

4. I start grad school on August 21. Word.

5. I have 2 Criminal Justice books to finish before August 21 st...but I'm almost done with one, fools.

6. I've become addicted to MTV. In particular, "Why can't I be you?" "Made" and "Fresh Meat." This is the reason I haven't had cable for 2 years.

7. I'm going to have to post a completely new blog about my summer living with Dirty McFlirty. It was out of control, but not in that creepy sort of "he wants to get it on with me" type of out of control. Thank you, Jesus.

8. I met a professional Celebrity Blogger last night at Trivia night. I'm really not joking.
