solar powered

The car that is usually parked immediately outside of my window went on a three day vacation, leaving my 3" view of the ground and 3" view of the sky fully unobstructed! People were free to pass within mere feet of my window while hocking loogies and, like last night, fart apparently. Life is great.

Well today the car is back, but the sun's output (from what I can see through the 3" gap) is at 80%/maximum power. This kind of makes me wish I had left the building before now (5:33 PM) but I was too busy sleeping until 2. At any rate, the return of the sun has certainly heightened my spirits. The removal of trash also helped clear up the perpetual funk odor that was wafting through my window last night. So we have 80% sun power and relatively fresh air. If I had a TV, PS2, Katamari Damacy, and some Orville Reddenbacher popcorn, it'd be just like home!

Man, I have a hankering for KFC. There's something about the chicken in this country that is just positively mouth-watering. The only gripe I have is that they have the tendency to slather on too much sauce, but that's easily remedied by just squeezing it out of the sandwich prior to consumption. Oh yeah, and I'm talking about the Zinger Burger. It's a mystery and a damn shame they haven't exported this idea to the States.

I'm currently debating what shirt to wear outside. It's not as if there's a huge selection available to choose from, but this weather really has me chagrined. When I go out, it'll be warm. When I come back here, it'll be chilly. Most people solve that by just dressing too warmly in the first place, but I'm the kind of person that likes to take full advantage of the warmth and wear sandals/short sleeves whenever possible. I may be regretting my words in July when I'll be bursting into a sweat the second I step foot outdoors.

And with that... I'm off to "work."
