takusan kodomo o tabemashita desune…

So this morning. I woke up at 9am. Then I went back to bed until about 10:30, got up, ate a banana, and then played guitar for a while. Then while playing a long to Pedro’s “The Poison” I thought about the Chinese food that I took with me to the movie theatre last night. and by took, I mean snuck in. I also brought my collapseable chopsticks in because I remembered the last time i did that, there was not a fork or chopsticks in the bag. When I remembered the food, I also remembered it was still in my bag. My awesome Chrome Metropolis bag I got on Craig’slist. Now normally I am not excited about spending money. I resist the rampant consumerism that pervades our society at every turn. The only exceptions to this are beer, wine, traveling, and craig’slist. As a side not I think I will be doing all four of those in the next week, ask for details.

My bag was fine. As advertised, it is absolutely impermeable to liquids and outside weather (except for maybe violent weather, though I would bet it is rated up to 75MPH winds.) It leaked all over my bag, or inside of it rather. The only serious casualty was (of course) the only book that was not explicitly mine. It belonged to the Burnsville Public Library. Most other things in the bag were grazed about by the delicious juices of my day old Szechuan Tofu, but they survived. The library book, however, will most likely not be accepted back. I thought this was ironic that the only thing in my bag that was not mine was nuked by the szechuan sauce.

So, feel free to offer stories of your worst “bag spill” stories.

In other news, I have my next two weeks planned out and I’ll post my itinerary soon. I leave for Milwaukee on Thursday and will be on the road for until I arrive in Akita on the 24th. We’ll be stopping at Glacier National Park! Woot!

Cookout beach party thing tonight up in Goodview. yep yep.
