At around 9:30 a.m. I wake up with an infuriating itching sensation on my scalp. After basketball yesterday I purposefully didn't take a shower for whatever reason. Bad idea. I have no choice but to hop in the shower now. After that, back to sleep.
Waking up again closer to 2 p.m.
Plain Bagel with Vegan Cream Cheese. Orange Juice.
My turn to clean the bathrooms. Scrubbing off all the mildew with a wire grill brush, the only possible way of getting that mold off. About an hour later I'm done.
Pizza Roma-Greco. Honey Oolong Tea.
I grab Anthony and we play a few 2-on-2 games with some of the dudes I played with yesterday. It's a good challenge for us but nothing we can't handle. I focus on good defense tactics today.
Afterwards, everyone corrals over at The Office, a hole-in-the-wall bar off the boulevard. It was meant in honor for Darren because he's moving out of the house on Friday. With James, Anthony, Josh, AJ, Laron, Kevin, and Ana. Darren hasn't even left work yet. You can't beat $2 PBR drafts. But Ana forgot her ID and the bar tender will not allow her to be here. So her and I head back to the house.
...
Cooking up some homemade Lo Mein Noodles with Mixed Vegetables. Upstairs in Darren's room – he's back from China Wok recanting a few stories and reflections on his job (our job). Kevin steps in. We've been trying to convince him to quit his Chanello's jobs and work at China Wok where he'd be making more money.
Eventually the whole gang is back and it turns into a chaotic run-around-jump-around-wrestle-and-act-like-monkeys kind of evening. James is unusually (or maybe usually?) drunk and being rather destructive and rambunctious. Oh, all these aimless drifters and drunken hipsters.
Ana and I leave to the storage unit to rehearse some Vaginasaurs songs. She'll be the new guitarist even though she's not really proficient in the guitar. But she's a fast learner and I think in no time she'll transform into the rocker we want her to be.
Back home. Eating a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch while Ana cleans some of the dishes in the sink.
She falls asleep. I play a few rounds of Unreal Tournament then join her in bed.
