"update your blog already, punk!"

okay okay! sheesh, chill out a little already.

what happened? it rained a lot, which means that i was denied my usual exercise outlets, which meant i was cranky and not fit to associate with.

something of note happened though, probably the most noteworthy of which was that i went out. to a bar. at night.

i used to do that a lot, but now that i am cranky-exercise-boy-who-gets-up-early it almost never happens, and it took a pretty unusual event for it to happen.

my friend h., who is all kinds of smart and lovely (and the person of mac the wonder dog) flew up from l.a. to buy a car.
it's not quite as extravagant as it sounds, 'cause it's only a short flight, and she'd been looking for this car for a long time, and the only one in the state happened to be in berkeley, but still, it all seemed pretty grown-up and fancy to me.

anyway, since she was only in the city for about 24 hours we (me, k., n., h., and m.) all met up at the elbo room for some beers, and there was chatting about this and that, especially about the international bear rendezvous, which m. was going to check out after i went to bed, and about m.'s pink hat, which he said was 'so post-ironic it was sarcastic'.

he knows how to turn a phrase.
