I met some people at BIM that I’m gonna see on sunday for the last class grad. ceremony which I’ll be helping out at for / extra credit /. sweet stuff, I hope I’ll be passing out pamphlets.. ms. jeanne is a really nice lady, her ‘adoptive’ daughter barbara seems to have some trouble with her current ‘crazy’ landlord – heard about this while making macaroni – and that she’ll be moving in down a nearby street, which is good for her. but, man, that’s all they talked about. women, right? and that damn hurricane still has me worried for clio and rob, I kept hearing horror stories on the radio (npr) about electricity going out, flooding, and wot not. and despite that it was in the south of florida, it was still on my mind, and that I’ve prolly been worrying too much. right now, I’m back at home – home, happy to have internet again. it seems that I’m getting the stick – chevy, also known to myself as the cow – mobile. I’m gonna eventually take apart this comp, hopefully find a smaller monitor, pack in a roy with me, and hope to god I don’t fuck up driving and hit someone.
