Daily Update, Chinese New Years Edition

Today is the beginning of the Year of the Rat, according to the Chinese Zodiac. Do don't forget to celebrate by lighting firecrackers and eating chinese food. Hmmm, what a good idea. :)

Today walking thru Westwood village I noticed an unusual amount of bums. I know I've spoken to this fact before, but i thought it was again noteworthy enough to mention again. When going to lunch, I passed two of them who I think were asking for money, but they were doing it in almost a whisper voice. I assumed that they were going to ask for money, but I didn't actually hear them. I saw their lips move when people were near them, and when people were not near them, so then I must assume that they were talking to themselves, right? Some bums are loud and obnoxious when asking for money, and are even belligerent when you turn them down. So, because I didn't actually hear them ask, I didn't acknowledge them. Next I was walking and then before I saw them, it smelled like 'Paris' (filthy urine- in case you haven't been there). I saw the guy and he looked like he had been playing in a toilet. On the way back from lunch similarly I saw some bum who was sitting like Jabba the Hut on a bench, talking to himself, and I really felt like helping him. But my help would have been me getting the local firemen to hose him off with the Fire Hose. I really think he would have felt better after that high powered shower.

Last night I happily watched the last of the American Idol auditions. Now it will get boring cause most of the people are already good.

I'm listening to 'Toy Sawyer' right now, read by some hill-billy. I don't know why I'm subjecting myself to such torture.

Lunch was sponsored by Jamba Juice.

Snack time was sponsored by Rite Aid's Ice cream booth, and hosted by Collins and Patrick from work.
