At a stop light the other day I was rather startled to see that the grey-beige car ahead of me was called a "vole." I looked over at the car maker name -- Toyota -- then back at the model name -- which under scrutiny revealed itself to be "v6le."

I had to go and buy food today, since I was RIGHT OUT -- not that I care. Dinner last night, though, was succotash and a popsicle, which might be considered mildly eccentric. It would've been fine except I dropped the bowl of succotash and lost half of it (lucky to not wind up with just a popsicle!). So today I went out and got grocery-store sushi (not bad considering), bread from the Mud Bay Bakery (down the road), and some crumpets which I remembered after I got home were a really awful brand. So now I should go eat sushi, then, damn it, I'm out of food (more or less) and have to go grocery shopping AGAIN. But I just went! What, is this some kind of NEVERENDING CYCLE? I remember that in the 70s, Peter Fonda said in an interview that he'd like it if we had meal pills. It has taken me THIS LONG but I finally see the wisdom.

Looper has become a tech-head at last! Don't forget to re-set your automatic backups! She went off to see the Void movie that I wouldn't go to see -- too stressful. I want to see "The Same River Twice" -- maybe she does, too. I know SWMNBMIMB wants to go. Last week I went to meet her at Big Fish but she walked in when I was walking out ("Oh, shit!). She turned in her ticket and we sat on the drastically hard bench outside and talked, which was fine.

Tomorrow Alex is going to school to check on supplies for his workshop. I have jin shin.
