elvis has left the building

at sophie's tonight, sarah spotted the wall where there are a bunch of old records. there are a couple of elvis ones. she immediately made me compare her to elvis. she said she does this on a regular basis. tonight, while we were at the airport, and were looking at the instapics from the photobooth there, she decided she doesn't have elvis brows. i think she may have been a little disappointed.

also today, more packing... i hope the movers realise that it's a small apartment with great storage, and therefore LOTS of stuff. ideally it will fit in the truck they bring. oh, and sarah and i tried again to go to moderne burger, but this time it was closed because it's monday, so we went for sushi. and then packed, i went to the gym, and she packed some more. then we walked down to the beach, dipped our feet in the water... did some tanning, with our clothes on because neither of us thought to bring our swimsuits. towels, yes. tanning appropriate clothing, no.

after all that excitement, we went to sophie's for veggie burgers and palm readings by anna. details from my palm reading include my aura being gold or yellow, that i should plan/organise my days at noon so that i can sleep at night, let my troubles be taken away by the waves of the ocean, that i shouldn't be friends with older women because they are or could be jealous, and she even gave me some homework. the shouting at the ocean, so i can let my past go, burn salt over the stove, and pour water on the front stoop when an older woman visits me. i got to make a wish, and she told me to come back as a friend and get my palm read again for free, and that we should meet for coffee or something. she also told me that what i'm doing is good. oh, except that i made her cry. she said it's because i need to let the past go, and live for right now. OH YEAH! i almost forgot! she also said that i should give a piece of bread, an onion (red or yellow) and a bit of money to a homeless person. and i almost got to do it when sarah and i went to dairy queen for dessert. this guy asked us if we had some money, like usual i said no, and offered to buy him something to eat instead. unfortunately there weren't any onions on his burger. seriously dissappointed... i didn't even realise this was an opportunity until after, when i talked to sarah about it. now i have to figure out a way to get an onion to a homeless person. maybe i'll just buy my homeless guy some groceries, and sneak in an onion and a loaf of bread. i'll give it to him with some milk and he'll be happy...strawberry milk.

all very exciting.

then we went to the airport and while waiting for the boarding call, we took the previously mentioned photos, and then spent a bunch of time analysing every little thing about them, over some starbucks.

i wasn't as sad for sarah to leave this time. it's totally different circumstances, and i know we'll get to hang out in september. but i did try to tell her to move to vancouver, so we can hang out when i come back. i think i get an A for effort.

tomorrow is hopefully the last of the packing and doing some random stuff. i need a vacation!
