today

the bad news: when gundam and i were scrambling out of our cab at my house last night in a flurry of stuff-grabbing and tip-deciding, he left his beloved bag on the seat and didn't realize till we were upstairs. in the bag: his gameboy advance and all its games, his discman, some cds, three movies i had ordered from bn.com, some money, and a bunch of other stuff. the bag also had sentimental value since he had me sew on a biohazard patch and it was covered in pins and stuff like mine. so, no good. however, pumpkin pie makes everything better, and i did in fact happen to have a pumpkin pie i picked up at the farmer's market in union square, so we had some. it could have been worse - he didn't lose his id or his keys, at least, and he was at least at my house so i could spot him some cash for the train and whatnot. but it does really, truly suck about the gba and cd player and everything. no fun.

before this fateful cab ride, we'd been to generation records (new atr shirt for me) and the belgian fries place on 4th. not quite as tasty as the one near st mark's place, but cheaper and with places to sit. and near generation records. and still mighty tasty. we had two cones of fries with a variety of hard to pronounce sauces. yum. spencer was planning on joining us, but spencer plans a lot of things.

i'm rereading the hobbit. i want to get through the whole series again before the movie comes out in whenever the fuck it comes out (i'm sure someone will remind me). conveniently enough, my parents brought a bunch of my old books and whatnot when they drove up a few weeks ago, including the relevant tolkien. hooray. it's been fucking years since i even thought about opening one of them again, but they're still great stories. and i already read all the new books i bought last week (especially fear and loathing in las vegas which i decided i'd better read since i've seen the movie so many times).

i need to get a little coffee table or end table or something to go next to my futon. other than that it's working out quite well as a couch and is, in fact, infinitely more comfortable when folded up as such than it was as a bed (for so many years).

i'm hungry, but not quite in the mood for leftover pumpkin pie, as appealing as i'm sure it will be later. maybe garlic knots from rocco's, where i like to go because they manage to make the word 'garlic' into three syllables.
