As a side note, I will be taking on commissions between June 27 and September 18. If you're interested, please comment or email me privately at info@angelafriedman.com.

It actually started the night before when we came back from dinner. [It was Le-Le's b-day, so we went to Outback and ate large chunks of seared animal flesh] The Trucklette's backseats were still in place and we had to pull them out to make room for moving. That was around 11pm.

She was able to go to sleep right after that, but I was wired and didn't get into the rack until nearly 1:30am. We were up at 5am. /groan

First stop was the VA. The gal had a 9:30am sonagram and had to fill her bladder and then get poked and prodeded. Me, I passed out in passenger seat. She was done about 10:15am.

Then off to Norm's. The driving into SanMo was fucked. A nice warm Friday, ya know. But Norm's was lovely.

The gal was toasty by that point and I was all 'supplemented', [I took all my vitamins and whatnot with lunch] so I took the wheel. Grabbed some ice at 7/11. [the fridge at 6th street is dead] Found a space to park on 6th. It's apx 1:45pm.

Next, we wait for the guy from SanMo Housing. He's due between 2:30 and 5:00pm. The post office has been fucking up on mail forwarding so I never got the recert package and missed a May 6th inspection. I was way too sick on that day anyhow.

Called S, my housing case manager at the Hamster Farm, to let her know we're 'in case' and then lay down for a few mins...

The SMHA dude shows up at 3pm, fails the apartment cause it is in fact a fucking mess, but he'll come back on the 11th of June when it will be largely empty, so no worries.

S comes over at 3:30pm with a new recert package. The three of us shoot the shit for a while. After she leaves, Le-Le folds up hard. I follow about an hour later.

I woke up around 7:30pm. There is just too much fucking noise. Upstairs neighbor playing some action adventure flick on his Surround Sound. Buses going up and down Sixth Street. General Friday night in SanMo racket. I've been spoiled by the desert.

So, I get out of bed – an air mattress with a futon top – and get some coffee and a bit of grub. Le-Le wakes up around 10:30pm.

I see that a parking spot has opened under my window around 11pm and go get the Trucklette. We load it up full between 11:30pm and 12:15am. I pay June's rent, throw out the garbage, and we get on the road at 12:45am.

Traffic is not heavy, but it is still crazy. We finally get back here at 1:50am. The stuff is still in the Trucklette as I type this.

We were both pretty wired. We had some more grub. I finally wind down around 3:30am, take a shower, and get in bed at 4am. I slept until 6pm, getting up twice to pee and take some ibuprofen. I ached everywhere.

It was hot today, but the AC was on and I ignored all of it. The weather bar says tomorrow it will be 98° [37° C], so that is probably what it was today.

Whew! I need a nap after writing about all that....

In the morning a few friends and I went to the Class of 2008's graduation. I wanted to see the layout for my own graduation. I thought overall it went by relatively quickly and was quite touched by the key note speaker. He said to not worry about money, work from the heart, take advantage of opportunities and it's okay to be in school until you are 35. He got a standing ovation.

After that I came home to my roomie moving out. Crazy! We weren't that close, but when I later came back to empty room and half empty kitchen, I was starting to feel lonely.

Went to the local dog pound and took a dog out to play with. The dog was too active for my needs (but also just happy to be out I think), but I kept thinking about the dog after. Still debating whether or not to get one. My bro says if there's anytime to get one, it's now.

Got my pedicure :) and the boss man talked to me. I always get asked if I'm Vietnamese at nail salons. He told me he used to live in Cleveland and that the Viet community wasn't as big as it was here, and I don't think it's huge here...but probably I'm just not privy to it.

Finally at mass I was wondering why the heck was it so crowded and why were people dressed so nice. I had forgotten that the pastor was having his 25th anniversary that day. The homily was a very nice dedication to him, he had a nice reply, and the piano man played a beautiful solo. Much applause.

So I just kept thinking and thinking....

I leave it to you, good citizens of Jenlightonia:

Poll #1189629 DEMOCRACY!
Open to: All, results viewable to: All

Loudtwitter?

navarattan korma with rice and nan (and chai)

laotian/thai cripsy noodles with tofu (cantonese noodles, carrots, broccoli, bamboo shoots, celery, green peppers, in spicy sauce)

I don't think I'd want to eat any of these for breakfast necessarily. I think I'd die without any fruit and I do like raw veggies especially in the summer time, but yes. This post makes me very hungry. Fortunately I have another batch of farmers market fresh asparagus and I'm gonna try to make sauteed morels in earth balance & flour (for the first time). We also have fresh basil italian bread and organic free-range :)- strawberries for dessert. And that's not even counting the other goodies I picked up today.
