so i took the initiative to download a bunch of new music today, by which of course i mean i asked my old man to do that for me, and one of the songs was paul simon's "the afterlife" and so i just logged on here at starbux and that song is of course their free download of the week. WHATEVER STARBUX. jeez.

at the next table over, a woman is Talking Very Seriously About Her Life, and while i am certain it's as worthy of her friends's attentions as any other Serious Life Issue is worthy of anyone's friends's collective attention, there is something about discussing Serious Life Issues at starbux that just pokes seriousness in the eyeball. starbux is to serious as jello is to dessert. it's just pretending.

speaking of starbux, did i mention i am going to visit elvis et cetera? here is what i am packing: jeans, plain white t's, LIFEGUARD HOODIE!, andrew henry's meadow (don't tell beavis - i got him a copy of his own), pjs, socks, and a toothbrush. i think that'll just about do it. oh, and a book to read. and, my computer. and, some of those banana cookies the kids love (surprise!). but that's it. except the fig newtons for the car ride and probably my swimsuit in case of the Y having a pool and a pair of bermuda (triangle!) shorts and a couple workout outfits in case we go to the Y not for swimming and my chucks and asics and crocs. but that's it. unless you think i should take a sweater? maybe a sweater. and what? what did you say? um... durr... of course clean panties. JEEZ! who mentions that? who? you are such a doofus. why do i even put up with you?
