weasel check

[opabinia]

Nothing exciting here -- just a quick memory dump.

Friday night, fudjo came to visit, and we chatted while he made a cheesy flier for a laundromat (quick freelance job) on my computer. I remarked that no laundromat in the country had an American flag on its flier before 9/11. Why not just have a little picture of World Trade Center people torn open and burned alive?

Saturday I slept in, worked out, did laundry, enjoyed the weather, installed my air conditioner, slept some more, tooled around the house, and then went to mrzero-and-atalanta's for a random little gathering. Their place is so comfortable -- they've applied a relaxed, warm, Ikea-flavored aesthetic.

Today I slept in, bought stuff (plastic drinking cups; paper cups to sprout sunflowers in; two new pillows, because I destroyed the not-yet-old ones in the washing machine (They said machine washable!); rechargeable AAA batteries for the Palm IIIxe silentq gave me (!); trash bags; a little strip of foam to seal the window over my air conditioner; soy milk; seven little clay flowerpots and one big one (to crack into shards and decorate Fluffy's tank with)). I won't work out today, because my back is mad about sleeping with no pillows last night.

This evening I checked up on the weasels, as promised. I brought them a paper groceries bag to play with. They were thankful and silly.

Was it a foreign-owned laundromat? After 9-11, such businesses seemed to feel they had to over-demonstrate that they were "on our side." I've read that foreign cab-drivers in NYC (is that redundant?) had their cars literally covered with flag stickers.

I thought you wrote "choked the weasel" at first glance.

Yeah, that's true. I remember how freaked out the falafel guys were. In such cases, it's morbid, but not tasteless.

This ain't that kinda journal, young man.

washing pillows

i find that home washers, unless they're front load, tend to do a number on pillows. i usually take those and comforters to the laundromat.
