Derek was telling me about the first week he lived in Australia. He spent a year of college abroad in Adelaide. The first week on campus is 'Orientation Week' where the older kids welcome all the new kids. Dressed only in newspaper taped to him like underwear, he was tied to his friend, who was wearing a trash bag, blindfolded and dropped off somewhere in the middle of the Australian countryside. They had to find their way back to campus, with no money, carrying a CMU block the whole way. So funny. As if we've been dating for over 4 years and he just told me that story this morning. Happy Friday!
A car smashed into the back of my car on Friday night. In the rain. On the freeway. During rush hour. It was super gnarly. And now I am driving around in a Buick. Sweet.
We just got on the bus and then this guy yells 'Does anybody got a extra dollar?'. No one responds. Then the driver tells him he has to get off. He gets all pissed and hits a Jamba Juice out of this other guy's hand and jumps off the bus. Instead of being mad at the guy who made him spill his Jamba Juice, the guy gets pissed at the bus driver and starts yelling for his $5 back that he spent on the smoothie - like bus drivers don't have enough bullshit to deal with. Then everybody else on the bus starts yelling at the guy to sit down and shut up but he keeps on yelling like a jackass. So the bus driver calls the cops. If you don't get off the bus right after the driver makes the call to the Police he can make you stay as a witness to the incident and you could be stuck there for hours. So everyone who was on the bus jumped off at the same time and swarmed the next bus in line. We got to the Troubadour (after suffing our faces with Indian Food) and watched this band from Brooklyn that Derek likes. The best part of the night came when the band played a cover of The Final Countdown by Europe.
Miss Van is cool because she is from Barcelona. Miss Van is cool because she started out as a graffiti artist. Miss Van is cool because her paintings are beautiful. Miss Van is cool because I saw her once when she was in LA. Miss Van is cool because when I was in Barcelona I saw one of her tags at the Boqueria. Miss Van is cool because one day I'm going to save up enough money to buy one of her prints. Miss Van is cool because she does it in metric.
