Rainy season...
Emails waiting for responses. Dust on the desk. Bills unpaid. New toothbrush unbought.
These are the signs of things getting busy, getting repetitive.
I wonder how Jonathan's doing?
Did My get into the school of her choice?
Why haven't I called home?
June was a long and strange month.
Luckily July started off right with a timely visit from an old friend.

She came. We ate. We drank. We laughed. We hugged. We headached a long and fitful night.
And we hope we can do it again soon.
(Maybe Sunday)

Mel moves to Tokyo in late July. Good for he and his family and their future. But with him goes my only close, dependable friend in these parts.
While everything around me feels so flimsy, homeboy's always been a solid piece of chicken-and-ass lovin' rock.

I'm reading a book about bananas. The title is Banana. I like bananas.
It turns out bananas aren't just interesting because of their sexually suggestive shape and funny sounding name, but also because of their long and convoluted history and the dire future it currently faces.
I'm learning a lot about bananas, or as much as you could ever possibly want to learn about bananas, anyway.
So whereas before I never looked at another dude while eating a banana (I mean, you can see why...cause of the dong resemblance and all), now I can't look at the banana itself without thinking about what will happen to my favorite breakfast fruit in the near future.

"The problem with that team was they turned the sixth man into a starter."
"Naw, that's part of the game. Injuries happen--that's when everybody's gotta step up. You can't make any excuses."
"I'm not sure it's an excuse. Some sixth men are on the bench for a reason--they're not ready to start. Or it's just not in them to start. They play a role. They're subs. So when a coach looks at a bench player and asks him to start it's going to mess everything up. And whose fault is that?"
"Nobody's."
"That's right--nobody's."
"And you're telling me that's what happened?"
"Yeah...We wanted too much from them."
"You think?"
"I do."
"Huh...."
"Maybe next year."
"Yeah. Maybe next year."
