Admerylous

Life was created today. Again. Artificially. Holy fuck.

Also, Kraft bought Cadbury.

Also, the BP Oil Spill hit Louisiana marshes.

Less than two weeks until Montreal!

Day 1: Relaxation, minor errands.

Day 2: Two games of ice hockey, cheesesteak.

Day 3: More important errands, Silver Mt. Zion show.

Day 4: Watched hockey, McDonalds, three hours of ice time.

Starting to feel like I am in America. Still have to go to a “real” restaurant and see more of my American friends. I start the internship next week and road trip the week after that. This is going to be a good summer.

I bought new glasses today. The salesmen was a very interesting man. By interesting I mean  We talked about the recent law passed in Arizona set to take place at the end of July. He stated that he liked latinos better than blacks because “at least they knew how to do work”. I was pretty fucking appalled. He then went on to tell me about the time he got busted for a “small amount of methamphetamine” in his car that he tried to hide.

Later, after I picked out a pair I liked, he told me that he thought they were for women. I told him even if they were I didn’t care, I wanted them. He told me he was positive they were designed for women. I told him maybe they were, but I genuinely didn’t mind who they were intended for. He proceeded to get a girl who worked in the back to come out and confirm whether or not they were a woman’s pair. She claimed they were unisex. This guy was seriously trying to stop me from purchasing these glasses. He also spent fifteen minutes trying to convince me to get the special coatings and high index lenses. Fuck.

Favorite comment: “I guess if they are frames for girls they aren’t as girly as the ones with the little fake diamonds in them that some of the black guys get because they want as much bling as possible…”

Fuck him.

In other news, I’ll have a pair of woman’s glasses in about a week.

I saw A Silver Mt. Zion tonight; the last two times they’ve come to Philadelphia I’ve been out of the country. I was pretty excited to finally see them, even if I had initially completely forgotten the show was tonight. He asked us if we had any questions. I asked if he had any recommendations for places to eat in Montreal during my upcoming road trip. “Find a girl and have her take you to her Mom’s for dinner.” Seriously? I was earnestly hoping for a legitimate response to add to my already lengthy “places I have to eat on the way” list. They played a pretty decent selection of songs from across their catalog touching on a lot of favorites as well as a few of the new tracks.

I am tired. I want to shave.

I forgot what it was like to live in such close proximity to neighbors. I wish they would shut the fuck up when I am trying to sleep. The first night that I moved out to Grand Anse in Grenada I barely got any sleep. The stray dogs roaming the streets barked all through the night. The waves of the ocean were actually, at the time, bothersome. I got used to it. I came to not even notice it. I am hoping I can do the same with the people talking (yelling) about fitted caps, cell phones and other bullshit.

My car’s engine was smoking when I went to start it (that is, after I jumped it). I asked my Mom if she bothered starting it at all while I was gone. “Yes… once.” I think she’s lying.

I am getting excited for this road trip coming in a couple of weeks. I’ve never been on a legitimate road trip. I hope I can make it through without hating someone.

Delaware isn’t the same. Everyone has moved to Philadelphia (or New York, or Korea, or Providence, or Boston). I miss being in Philadelphia. It’s only been two days, I need to calm down.

I just need to eat some good food and I’ll be happy again.

Spent all day packing. Half of my stuff going to True Blue Bay, half going to America.

I like this new album from Rosetta; it’s been awhile since I felt the urge to put something on repeat.

Only exam I have left is exotic animal medicine. I think of all my classes this term, I care the least about it.
