I was just a little cranky today to start with, as I think I'm long overdue to get out of town. That's THursday and I can't wait. But anyways here's what pissed me off today:

I finish one batch of journal work, go get some new ones. Figuring I'll get lunch while I'm out, I set my journals down, sit under a tree and eat. I'm minding my own business, figuring that a sunny lunch under a tree will lighten me up a bit. And as I'm finishing, I'm ignoring basically everybody (maybe that's the problem, ignoring folks?) and daydreaming. So these three turd-burglars walk right by a coupla feet away and one of 'em says, "What a great day to find someone having lunch under a tree with their books and kick their ass." Ok, so I ignore them and they walk on by, but what the FUCK? where do people get off? all I can say is those three turd-burglars are punks. And punks are bitches. AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhrrrrrrrggggggh . . . .

An excellent weekend:

Friday: send-off dinner at Cafe du Jour on the 1200 block of Carson St. for Carolyn Madden, she's working in Australia now. Then some busking. Want a little outdoorsy patio dining place that's casual, intimate, reasonably inexpensive? Cafe du Jour . . . just one note: it's BYOB.
Saturday: a little gardening, planted some tomatoes my sister gave me, some peppers, some squash, some lemon balm and sage.. the flatleaf parsely my roommate mike planted appears to have come back. amazing. Then Dan Brown and his wife Erin treated me to the beer taster thing at Penn Brewery, it was awesome, thanks guys. Afters, we went for drinks at a coupla bars and then got breakfast.
Sunday: Kennywood Park with Tony and Kathy, courtesy of Roseanne. I hadn't been in three years, so it was way fun to go rollercoastering again. Thanks RO!
