today when i left my temporary apartment to go to work, i saw a neighbor (?) throw something across the street. Then it blew up with a loud report right next to two other neighbors (?) who were coming out of their building.
I looked back at the thrower and he looked at me and smiled and laughed. like he wanted me to think it was cool and funny, too. but I didn't really know what to think of it. The people across the street looked kind of confused and possibly insulted, but nobody was hurt or anything.
in other news, yesterday I utilized a drop-off laundry service for the first time.
I will quote my earlier email to K:
currently sleeping on this air mattress thing. i washed the mattress cover, since it's so hot that it's really the only sheet i'm using at the moment. the thing blows up via an electrical switch, so the mattress cover has this hole which you pull the cords through when you're putting it on.. well i just got home from work and am super fucking tired, but when i put it on, i went through the trouble of pulling the cables through the hole and had a little micro-fantasy of everyone i know patting me on the back for not being too fucking lazy to pull the cables through the hole.
