left the phone at home [Liam]

drove to fortune chef by alvarado middle, had a roast duck & roast pork plate. for the record, it's all about eating the animals hanging in the window. there was an old guy there teaching two little girls how to play chess. he was like "you gotta protect the king jenny, you don't want the queen to cry..." which struck me as very sweet and clever and exactly the reason i'm only gonna sub teach 6th grade - 12th grade (I could never talk like that). i then turned around, went home, grabbed the dvd i'd been waiting on burning to return, drove PAST the same restaurant on my way to union landing hollywood video (i'd get yelled at for that if anyone was home, i have by far the lowest dead birds to stones ratio of anyone in my family), took some pictures of these cool cloud banks from the parking lot, searched for a book at border's that they didn't have, then went home.

i hope i'm always going to value the luxury of disposable time.
