More Turmeric

Went adventuring with a professional inflatable today.

- So I needed to get out of the house today. My plan: to read at the park. While I was at it I thought I'd photograph a desk punching clown. As I was getting some water before the trip, I remembered I had left over ice cream from last week. I quickly incorporated ice cream into the plan. While I was at the park I met a pretty cool dude. I lied to him. Well, I should back up. So before he turned to corner and I met him, I had set the inflatable punching clown on the edge of the bridge. Took a photo of it then watched as a gust of wind knocked it into the muck below. I am not one to leave friends behind so I was pondering the best way to rescue my fallen comrade. I was standing on the bench taking this photo when a ~30 year old dude walks over and sits on the bench across from mine. He says, "Hey," and looks at me as though he wanted answers. Being slow and of simple mind I panicked at the thought of trying to explain why I was standing on a bench taking a photo of an inflatable punching clown while an open container of ice cream was melting next to me, spoon propped against it with the aid of my pocket knife.
"Oh man! I was just taking a picture for class when I dropped that thing," I lied. After more inquiries I found myself lying about being an art student at Florida State University. He began expressing his bitterness about attending Godby High School when Leon High was far superior. After he had finished his vent, I decided it would be a good time to express my bitterness about how society need to better respect our schools and bring them to the quality of other industrialized nations. After we did a little more venting of long-pent up disappointments in our educational system we said our goodbyes.

- Yesterday was groovy. Watched Kung Fu Hustle with Chris then we joined Rachel for pizza. Afterwards we watched Science of Sleep. Chris wanted to hang out with a girl so Rachel and I went to 80's night at The Beta Bar. I had a good time though I didn't dance very much. I spent the majority of time on the deck chilling & talking to folks. I met some dude who had never met Rachel but somehow knew some very specific things about her life. Not negative things by any means. Just very specific and not things you'd ever think a stranger would know even if they'd seen you around town frequently. Despite the awkward air, he was very polite. I also met someone who is going to be a bondage model in Gainesville. I was disapointed by the lack of writing on the bathroom walls. Tallahassee needs more culture.
