i leave for pa again on wednesday morning. last time i'm doing this for undergrad. earlier, as i was making coffee, i got a feeling that i had felt and saw the exact same scene before. but it wasn't in the ususal, deja vu, where you think you've seen this before in a 'i saw the future' way, more of a, 'i felt this exact way two years ago and now i'm feeling it again' way. if that makes sense. like i could acknowledge that i was reliving something again

last night i went out to axelrad with kaijah and katya. i spilled my beer trying to get into one of the hammocks. we took a shot of jameson, i think. i recounted many stories, that, though they didn't have much inherent value, they did keep the conversation going. talked about my most recent hangover. how earlier in the day i asked for a price fix on something i bought, thinking the difference was two dollars but it ended up only being forty cents. mentioned how embarrassing that was

i guess this was my first time officially meeting katya. i liked her. she seemed nice. we talked about peruvian food briefly. then about bernie. other things too

we went to house of pies after. a guy had his silver jeep cherokee broken into. when the policeman came in, it felt like a cafeteria scenario. where the principal yells and tells everyone to be quiet, and everyone shuts up and looks at him, and then he says whatever announcement he has, that's how it happened. he siad the car got broken into and then turned around and started walking away, which i found funny. like, wow so useful of him. i said 'thank you for your service' sarcastically. he didn't hear

i went to the camera exchange and got batteries for a couple cameras. the canon that i'm going to lend to diamond has a new battery now, but i'm not sure if it was worth it. i know that the batter is just for the light meter, but i don't think it works. we'll see. i also got batteries for a minolta. that one needed them for the shutter to go off. glad it worked. going to see if the same batteries work on another minolta that i set aside at work. we couldn't get the battery door open on the miranda. the woman recommended i go to a repair shop. i don't have time though. so i'll just use it without it. it should be fine. i think it was also just for a light meter

there isn't a copy of 'elroy nights' by frederick bartheleme in houston, i don't think. no library or major bookstore. jealous that my sister has to read him in high school. wish i had him assigned to me at some point
