Last night as I was going to bed, R turned to me and said quietly, "Oh man, I just can't do it. You're right, it's too creepy."

I HAVE WON A MORAL VICTORY. It feels sort of strange and evangelic. Oh the power.

To continue the story of last night's fracas, the Friend who stomped off finally showed up in a cab and refused to get out of it, instead insisting that R's Girl bring out her suitcase and put it in the car. And this is what I can't believe: instead of saying "No, asshole" and leaving her there in the taxi until she realised what a douche she was being, she actually made R carry her suitcase to the car. The friend announced she was leaving, and the cab took off again.

What the hell ass balls. Also, R's Girl, you are a shitty friend.

So R's Girl decided that she was going to enjoy herself anyway and asked to go to a blues club, and they left, but then came back, apparently they decided not to go, and oh my god this girl will not STFU. She talks constantly. Which even in itself wouldn't be so bad, but it's painfully obvious that most of what she's saying is a blatant attempt to impress R, and while I love him to death he's not someone I'd spend a whole lot of time impressing.

She also said she would make breakfast for us this morning. I'm sure she thought that neither of us cook, but I'm a little afraid given her description of what she tends to cook for people. The words "chili con carne" were invoked as a breakfastfood.

God I'm going to miss living here.

Sam: She never stops talking.
R: Yeah, we had a talk last night.
Sam: For a long time?
R: No, you know. About...not boning.
Sam: I am so proud of you.
R: It felt all statutory.
Sam: I'm sure there's a blues song about all this.

CKING PACKING PACKING!

*sneezes dust all over everyone*

All that's left really is clothing, some of the kitchen stuff that I'm going to need until the last minute (who doesn't have MIXING BOWLS? R, that's who!) and some CDs/DVDs I have to sort through. I would like to recommend people who don't have many large belongings use extra-long corrugated file storage boxes like the kind I got from ULine -- I bought them by mistake but they work so well I'm buying a bunch more for the rest of the stuff. They have handles, and lids, and very durable construction 'cause they're meant to carry lots of paper. They're especially good for books.

Anyway, I am rewarding myself with pizza. I suggest you do the same!

Jesus. ter369 died today.

I'm absolutely stunned -- I didn't even know she was sick, though I knew she'd been quiet lately.

I think many of the Cafe will know her -- she was a wise and friendly person who could pretty much talk to anyone; she was intelligent about a wide range of subjects, and quite the authority on opera. I think of her every time I pass the Civic Opera House.

And she was always ready to tell me when I was being a dumbass, which is a pretty valuable thing.

She will be very sorely missed.
