Cigarettes, Coffee and Boo-boos

I see that Adam Jones won a Grammy for the 10,000 Days packaging.

Slept in this morning. Drove up to Alki in search of a "surf shirt", or "rash guard". Something to wear while snorkeling that gives some UV protection. I have a bike shirt which is too small and only works somewhat. The store there (that I found on Google) didn't have such things after all, it was more beach clothing than swimwear. But I did find a really nice shirt, and got some flip-flops while I was there. The guy there recommended a skate/snowboard shop up the hill – but, they didn't have their surf gear out yet. So, I headed south to REI – no luck their either. Got some shorts and lightweight pants. Then braved the mall for a few more things, including black pants for the about-to-begin TTA season. Home, had some dinner, did lots of laundry, practiced guitar, watched American Pie 2 and American Wedding.

Oh yeah – almost was in a car accident yesterday. IK was driving to coffee after the sitting, and decided to make a u-turn right in front of an oncoming car. He apparently didn't even see them at all. My "whoa! watch out! hey! aaagh!" didn't really have any effect. The elderly lady in the car headed right for my door was nice enough to slam on the brakes and not clobber us. Reeking of cigarettes is no longer the thing I fear most about getting in his car. I think I'll drive next time.

music: Herbie Hancock - Headhunters; Killing Joke - Extremities, Dirt, and Various Repressed Emotions; The Minus 5 – the "gun" album (though I really didn't need to hear "Aw Shit Man" today, and the randomizer thankfully obliged).
