slick and i went to k and r's house last night to have dinner and play some music. we had spent the better part of the afternoon moving large pieces of furniture from one temporary location to another and the heat index of 113 degrees had worn us both down to 'barely functional.'
k expressed her frustration with being corrected the night before for using 'office' as a verb while at the same time we talked about going home and 'blogging.' she is still quite skeptical that this whole 'blog' thing is a good use of internet bandwidth. i've encouraged her to visit a few and see if maybe she will understand the point.
josh and carly showed up a little later with ant'ny and we played some music and drank the crown that i got kicked out of a liquor store trying to acquire. incidentally, i owe k $25 for the crown. thanks k, it was worth the strange trip.
josh, carly, and ant'ny left, but slick and i were determined to wear out our welcome and went for a brief swim. by 3a.m., k pointed out that, due to my impending job as airport chauffer for hyla in a mere 2 hours, we ought to just stay there and not worry about trying to get two hours of sleep. we did, and ended up leaving at 5:15.
hyla called at 5:25. her flight was in exactly an hour and it was obvious things were not running smoothly for her this morning. i had volunteered to drive hyla because of her generosity in providing me with a temporary home while i search for new digs. little did i know that i would become hyla's mercernary.
after dropping hyla off (she missed her flight, but was able to get on standby for a second leaving an hour later) i proceeded to execute some easy errands that she was unable to accomplish because of her hurried state. mentally, they were extremely challenging because of my extremely fatigued state, but i was able to finish all three and made it to bed at 7:45 this morning.

whew. we should do this again sometime.
