some days i get really close to turning off the AC, risking the burning heat behind the espresso machine in 95+ weather, just so i can chase the gimps out of my shop. this woman today who lives out of her car and huffs bleach in our bathroom bought over $20 in crappy cards, explaining to me why each one was absolutely hilarious and vital to her existence ..seriously ...etc etc. so anyway i spent half my day babysitting her til my boss kicked her out. then this chump white dude on his cell phone and reeking of, like, tommy cologne or something, asks for a double espresso and tells me it's "cheap" when he finds out he doesn't have enough stamps to get a free one. what does that mean?
so i ate a vegan brownie.with walnuts. we sell vegan brownies. kinda weird for a town where the old woman at the grocery store checkout stand, who's an old family friend, is dumbfounded when i buy tofu and soygurt at my own will. "did your mom give you a shopping list?" she asks.
santa cruz is really starting to take hold of me.
