one year ago today

i took the train to bruges, ate cheese sandwiches in the park, got stuck in a down pour, climbed a medieval bell tower, ate pomme frites at an american themed diner, chatted to some grandpa about obama, drank some beers al fresco, flashed a korean traveler and pet a friendly stray kitty. today i woke up in baltimore, walked the dog, drank a smoothy, worked at goodwill, walked the dog again, got hit on by a 70-something, shopped at safeway, made spaghetti and watched three episodes of my so-called life. last year wins.

in other news, i've been having this feeling that the neighborhood is going to destroy itself.. or just me. not to be dramatic or anything. i'm sure this feeling stems mostly from the fact peter is away. and because someone stole the cash register from the restaurant down the street. and i still don't own any pepper spray. that's probably all it is, really.

even though i was sure i would be driven and productive without peter around all i've really accomplished was vacuuming the apartment. and watching a lot of hulu. i was supposed to be working on the web site and drawing and being a creative genius. i guess i still have six days..
