Well. Brief trip just about at an end. Leaving on an 8.30am flight back to the Great White North.
Nothing terribly exciting to report. Just got to see and hang out with a lot of friends, which had been my intention. Was very nice.
Got to eat some pretty decent Mexican food.
Helped one friend try to make a dent in cleaning up his completely repulsively filthy apartment. Not too much to say he's been living in squalor. With the pungent smell of the rat the he'll be incipiently feeding his boa constrictor. On the flip side of that, spent a night in the immaculate $1.1 million house some other friends just bought - no idea where the money for that came from.
Bought some other friends three-year-delinquent wedding gifts. Has been a monkey on my back this whole time. Glad I've got that taken care of. In turn I got to drink a lot of two-year-old apple-cherry cider they'd made. Apparently it was awful a few years ago, but some time in the bottle helped it along and it's actually quite tasty now. I had my fair share yesterday.
And got to spend a little time earlier today with another friend and her two young children. I'd had a crush on her back in the day, her being wonderful. But the kiddos were great.
Missed a few friends I would've liked to have seen, but so be it.
All in all, a good trip.

Wow, how was the 1.1mil house? No pics? Sadly though, 1.1 million dollar homes in California are probably pretty normal. I think i have some million dollar homes on my street, and they look nice, but...yknow, normal.
ReplyDeleteIt mostly looks normal too, I guess. And you can't really tell from the outside. But it's really really nice inside, and big. Like it's the sort of place you imagine 60 year old parents living when their kids are out of the house and they're retired. I couldn't see myself living there at this stage of life... I think that's the main thing. Like they're about to get married but they can't see themselves raising kids in the house because it's too nice and you'd get mad when the kids messed the walls. Not sure why you'd buy a house like that at this stage.
