watching us lose to the mariners, becky is finally up, And I am listening to skinny puppy. 6–2 seattle in the 7th. I got sick of it and changed to cartoons.

I am of course worried about her, but she will turn up soon enough I am sure. last I heard she was trying to get in university manor… now 72 hours of silence. makes me think she is in the hospital, with no phone calls allowed. that’s where she was last time she disappeared with no warning. in any case, it makes for a quiet house, becky is still blowing off her trip to buffalo., which I am happy about, tomorrowi have to go to the smoke shop. uh oh, my battery is low, and I am plugged into the wall and should not be using the battery in the first case… so bye, problems problems…
