Buddha sits under the Bo tree resisting temptation. The wind blows and shakes the tree and everything in site, but not him. But wait. That's not Buddha. That's Chairman Mao! And he looks kind of mad.

In the cluttered old bookstore I see a box of issues of the Economist, my favorite newsweekly. It's next week's issue, they have it already! Although I subscribe, I want to pick a copy up to read now. The clerk refuses me: "Those early issues are only for bloggers".

I'm being pestered by drunken little men who keep singing beer hall songs. I throw a pillow at them! When I wake up, the pillow is in fact across the room. No gnomes, hungover or otherwise, are evident.

Attempted Comic Con but had a small car accident instead. Was lounging around bullshitting at D's when hamburger_lady lured me over to Liam's for a birthday party for someone I've only met once.

I drank wine and ate cake. Most of the people there were cute hipsters 15 years younger than I, but I had some good conversations. Liam's room mate turns out to be a Librarian Warlord who knows a lot of the same people I do at UCI. Hils has one of those cameras that makes polaroid stickers, which is complex and hard to use although it is intended for nine year old girls.

A gaggle of people Liam referred to as the "Poli Sci" kids were gabbling about politics and society and/or "that hot girl in the Troy movie" off at one side and I decided to avoid them.

And then of course I had to get the cat out of the garage at 1 am. She has a spirit of adventure and/or stupidity, that cat.

I promise to get my act together and post photos more tonight. I have some good ones!
