today was, how do i put it... just one of those days. the kind of day where you're stalked by a little dark rain cloud, or in my case a brilliant sunburst [too much sun having that depressing effect on me]. speaking of sun, and it's sister subject- heat; i rode my bike to the library tonight at 6:45 wearing a t-shirt and shorts and i was fucking hot. no, not like that, perverts, i was sweating. i'm confused here people, because i thought it was october. if not jackets and scarves, at least sweater weather. i've also managed to do something nasty to my shoulders. cooking, boating, and frequently riding a bike all demand a lot from the old shoulders. i've spent most of the day feeling inexplicably sluggish and microwaving a sock full of beans in an attempet to relax the muscles. being the impatient person i am, i finally gave up on the nice and natural way and popped two ibuprofen. the only obvious result was a massive headache which can neither be confirmed or denied as related. in a final attempt at self preservation i bolted directly after dinner, purchased a very delicious and extravagantly expensive bar of dark chocolate [that being more than a dollar] and proceeded to 'let it all out' by writing this here post which you are reading right now. well then, aside from the persistently pulsating headache which really makes it hard to write, i feel much better. now on to bigger and better things.

this will be my last post this week. for, as i have mentioned before, the nbpl is only open late monday-thursday. i guess after five on friday the entire population of newport beach has something much more exciting to do than hit the stacks. clearly i didn't get the invitation. it must have been lost in the mail. they should just give me the key to the place, i'm here enough.
