Things Lonely People Do. Go!

1. Talk to self.
2. Order take out.
3. Self-improvement activities.
4. Smile at seemingly nothing.
5.
I was sitting in a doctor office waiting room this morning.  out of boredom I decided to call the surf report to see what the waves were doing that day.  I called the number absentmindedly and when the recorded voice said, "hey there..." I said "hey!" back like it was a real person i was calling, and not an automated recording.

I panicked because there were other people in the room with me and they would know something was up if I sat there for two minutes in silence and listened to the voice recording.

So what did I do?  What else could I do?  I said out loud, "Oh, okay, sure no problem, I'll call you back later" and then hung up the phone.  Crisis averted.

pardon my weeks of silence, dear reader.

To Coffee!  To self destruction via subtle addictions!  to cigarettes, the addiction that never quite goes away...to coffee and cigarettes...

To those evil terrorists who hate our freedom! To those evil muslim terrorists stealing all my street parking during Ramadan!

To surfing past sunset, till you can't even see the waves coming at you anymore!

To friday nights alone, discovering new music!

To organic creamy jack cheese with portabello mushrooms!  that shit is delcious and makes me feel like i'm eating a meal in a fancy restaurant even though I'm just sitting by myself in my boxers eating sandwhich salad and watching Hulu.

To the Postal Service (the music group, not the government service provider though they are great too)! Finally ending their ten years silence with a remastered two disc album including b-sides and remixes of their one and only album.  I am very happy they put something new out.  I love the strange melodramatic nostalgia postal service evokes in me, even though there is no rational reason for it.  I guess that's why we listen to music, to live vicariously through the artist.
