The key is the Bloody Mary.

Thanks to 百妮 for the video.  Sorry about your bike!

Today started off normal enough; woke up around 7 out of habit, quesadilla for breakfast.  Watched BSG  streaming on my TVUplayer.   After last week’s wierdly told episode “Sine qua non,” this week’s “The Hub” was mind-blowing.  Mind-blowing!

So my shower is either too hot or too cold; when I get it to where I want it, the flame in the heater goes out, and I’m left with the ‘escaping gas’ alarm.  Don’t worry, I’m well ventilated, but sheesh, to take a bath this summer I’m using a bucket and kaod.  Hmph.

A is gone for a couple of weeks, so I went to get a  massage by myself.  There was no special price today, so I ended up paying full price for an hour foot- and an hour body massage.  Ug!  $26 USD.  I fell asleep on the table.  I asked later if I snored; the masseuse said ‘only once.”

I had lunch at Element Fresh by myself; laffa bread salad and a bloody mary (fresh tomato juice, Absolut Pepper), as I read City Weekend.  By the time I was finished, it was raining hard, so I got in a cab and came home.  Stopped to buy DVDs, and while I was in the shop, the street flooded with rain.  I waited there with DVD lady, and made the requisite jokes about swimming, needing a boat, etc.  Seriously, the cars on the streets left wakes that reached the building; the water was higher than the curb.

I ran home.  It rains like this in Ann Arbor, but never in Seattle.
