today seemed like a super productive day. started at 830am and i only just got home at 130am.
i got up half an hour late to take my car to get the oil changed (thank god the place is just down the street) and i just came home and showered, cleaned my room some more, read one more chapter of downtown owl, listened to records. cleaned. picked my car up at 2-ish, went to the costa mesa AA and got z's red hoodie, had to go back to the mechanic's so they could reset my maintenance light, go to ups to drop off z's package, pick christina up and take her to the bank, and then our sessions with eli.
eli does coffee and card readings out of her house. she has this really old deck of cards that she uses, they're all bent and faded. christina takes me every year for my birthday. those are the only times i've ever gone, save for the one time i took jenna. i only feel right going about once a year because aside from that, i feel like i'm cheating the system or something. sound ridiculous? i don't know. it's an old middle eastern style of fortune telling. i remember getting my cards read while i was in new york last year, and i asked her about the way that eli does it. eli seemed way more legitimate than the woman i saw in new york. the woman in new york said that eli's way was a really ancient form of fortune telling. i thought that was cool. she basically told me everything i knew, but it's nice hearing it from someone who doesn't know anything about my current life at all. cheap counseling.. or guidance, as christina calls it. i just have to be really patient. until august/september-ish.
after eli, i sat in traffic for two hours or so heading towards the inland empire to visit my uncle in lake elsinore. i was only there for an hour and a half or so, but we talked. he told me that my dad (his brother, who left us when i was 10) had another kid. which meant that i had a half sibling. i guess he/she (i didn't ask the gender) is about 6-7 years old. i thought that was kind of harsh. i don't think my brother or sister knows. or my mom, for that matter. i think he's going to help me out a bit with my money issues, since he thinks i've become an "ok person". i'm not good, i'm just ok. that's what he says. at least that's improvement in his eyes.
after i left elsinore, i headed over to rancho cucamonga since it was only about half an hour away up the 15 north from there. i haven't been to rancho in two years. but it's funny, because i went to hang out with francisco.. who used to live in aliso viejo/lake forest. not even five minutes from me. but we're hanging out in rancho.. which is an hour to an hour and a half away with traffic. just funny, that's all. i've never really talked or hung out with him before, i usually just saw him around if i was hanging out with aj or andy, but i had a good time. him, john and these two guys larry and louie were all playing FIFA '09 at john's and i just came along. the longer i watched them play the more i got into it, haha. i think i'll play next time. john's having a party friday night for jacob's birthday, and i'm considering going. maybe.
also, epic win for me on the bay this afternoon. fixation on a coworker, grey vinyl.. FOUR BUCKS. but, win/lose for me this morning. orange rhyming dictionary, 1st press, translucent orange. fifty five bucks. i suppose if i look at it, it was about thirty each. that sounds kind of bad, doesn't it? i probably won't feel that way once it arrives.
