Liquids: Thumbs Down

Yesterday I knocked an entire cup of coffee off the table and it landed in my purse. On the way down, it sprayed my keyboard and my bass gee-tar. Inside my purse I had a distortion pedal and a reverb pedal. Those too, got coffee’d. So what I’m trying to say here is that I have a big problem. The nice part is that everything works still. For now. The bad part is that everything I own looks like it got a savage beatdown from Mr. Coffee. Everything smells like coffee. I was filled with sadness. And not filled with coffee, since I had spilled it all. ERROR and in addition, BIG FAIL.

Next week I’m headed off to Austin for work. It should be fun. I really enjoy Austin and when I think about Austin, I think, dude, I should live there. And then I remember it is quite far from water and then I get a little stressed out about it. I like to be near water. For no particular reason, really. I just might, at some point, want to see it, visit it, say hi, etc. I don’t even like the beach all that much, but, you know, I feel better knowing that it’s there.

I am already planning to go to Veggie Heaven.

I am already planning on getting a major burrito the size of my waist so that it fits perfectly inside my belly.

I am already planning on saying, “Dude, everyone is so nice here. What is wrong with them?”

I am already planning on renting a car and driving like a complete ass, because being female, Asian, from L.A. and living in NYC has not really helped my attitude behind the wheel. So Austin, I apologize in advance. Now, GET OFF THE ROAD.

    I know you guys are proud of LA and NYC “chaos” but driving there is a walk in park in comparison to some places in southern europe and the mediterranean.

    I mean have you ever experienced a place where is normal (almost mandatory) that you overpass cars through their right while crossing red lights and turning when it is forbiden to do so while avoiding annoying pedestrians?

    I am not sayng you don’t drive like an ass, just saying NYC is not that jungle…

    BTW, what the hell is about you and spilling things? I hope your music stuff works ok. Sorry for that

    Or maybe not. OK there’s not much more to say other than hi. That’s “howdy” in Austinese.
    That is all, for now.

    Go get yourself some Dunkin’ Donuts coffee right now!

    I loved Austin – music and bats living under that one bridge.

    I will stay as far away from Veggie Heaven as I can next week, for my own safety.

    I’m going to send you one of my daughter’s sippy cups.

    On a side note, “Inside my purse I had a distortion pedal and a reverb pedal.” I think these are the words I will need to hear from a girl to ever consider a serious relationship with her. ;)
