They say you learn something new every day.
I guess if the averages count, i can take the week off, having learned 7 things hoy. silent H btw, spanish for today, not to be confused with the briton's Oi. a multi-purpose syllable.

1. We've got an AQUEDUCT!



2. The best problems are ones that are resolved before you're aware of them. You remember how Superman saved us all by reversing the rotation of the earth (and therefore reversing TIME ITSELF!! Quiet Einstein.)? we didn't even notice that he'd saved us!

While napping at the aforementioned aqueduct area (what?? the sound of running water makes me sorta narcoleptic!) i drop my phone. Then while I'm oblivious, shooting baskets at the park...

a) Raul (stranger) finds my phone.
b) Helen (yay) calls moi, seeking to spend some time... leads with the phrase "HEYYY MANGO!"
c) Raul asserts that he is not Mango.
d) Raul explains that some absentminded lunkhead left his phone in the grassy knoll.
E1 - Helen vouches for the lunkhead, and offers to take the heavy bulky phone (it's from 2002!) off his hands.
E2) Helen and Raul rendezvous, Raul hands over the loot (the phone).
eff) Helen drops phone off at my house, but has to take off while my delinquent bootay is botching lay-ups.

ba-da-boom, people are wonderful, especially honest strangers, and friends who call!

Learned thing three: Ed Helms is even funnier in person. He was in town at Cobb's, part of my new favorite neighborhood in SF. Kennedy's = Indian food + Irish Pub (go fig). Bimbo's = cool venue, nice waitresses, live music. Cobb's = comedy club. add a dash of FREE PARKING and I know where I'm dying to live (if i could afford $1500/mo). uh oh did i just sound like a yuppie? NO!! DEATH!!!

Four: Geoff's super power is making terrible sci-fi movies into the best movies i've ever seen. Plus he home brews us some beverages

Five: Sincere joking with bitter middle-aged women can be misconstrued as flirting. yikes.

Six: Dark Chocolate Kit Kat is MIND-BLOWINGLY GOOD. HELP ME FIND SOME MORE NYUM NYUM NYUM

Seven: Eleanor was leading me on. All that sultry, intense eye contact at their show was just bollocks. She's been dating the lead singer of Franz Ferdinand this whole time! Sigh. I'll rue the day I developed this rock-girl fetish.

oh i can't end on a down note! eight: there's a movie theater in the east bay that shows moooovies and serves fresh pizza! speakeasy theater.
