March is here

Yeah, i guess my plan to be out of my tent before the end of february didn't work out so well.

Yesterday i worked with Derr at the airport. I tried to hussle but was a bit worried. No valid ID, soliciting at the airport... not good to get caught.

Well I earned my day's work and got a 3 groups of people.

Last night i was at DD talking to the guys and was charging my phone and then forgot about it. Went to BK and stayed there until 10:30PM. Pauly was there so we talked for a bit. I hit Craig by mistake playing around with him, it was a ketchup packet and it hit his face. He was pissed and i knew he'd retaliate so i took it like a man. He used a miniature milk container and i got milk all over my face. Mark was surprised and didn't know what was happening but i immediately said that it was ok.

Soon after we were all laughing about it so me and Craig are fine.

When i got to the tent i realized my phone was missing and i backtracked trying to figure where i had dropped it. When i got to DD (which was closed when i got there) i realized i had left it inside.

This morning I went back and they had my phone and charger, lucky me.

Yesterday i told Derr i couldn't work today because i was going to help someone else. I'm sellling my other laptop to one of the security guards at the library so that i could recover a bit from the purchase of the new one. I paid $450 for it last year, i'm selling to him for $250. He was supposed to be here at 3PM but called saying his car battery is dead and may not make it.

I hope he makes it, i really need that cash, i spent hundreds trying to get my driver's license and my savings have gone down faster than i could afford.

Well, meanwhile i 've been watching some movies at the library, they have a decent DVD collection.

Akira Kurosawa's Throne of Blood, which i saw years ago, still great. Toshiro Mifune is a classic japanese actor, the best in my opinion.

Steamboy is a decent Anime, i thought the story could have been presented a bit better but it was ok. Of course i saw it with subtitles, best way there is.

Today i'm watching David Lean's Brief Encounter which is a b&w movie from 1946, restored and part of the Criterion Collection. So far i like it very much, the drama is well portrayed.

That's all for today.
