Katie and I have been taking walks every evening after dinner. Yesterday she was at work so I took a short one by myself and identified two outdoor cats within a one block radius of my apartment. One of them was a black and looked like an older and less skinny version of Charlie. He had a collar and wasn’t very friendly. The other one was orange and white and lying on the sidewalk like she was tanning at the beach. I sat down and played with her for awhile, until a dog walked by across the street and the cat ran into the bushes.
Then I went to buy cereal. It seems like we go through a huge box of corn flakes in about 3-4 days, even though I haven’t been eating them. The cashier asked me if I was American and told me he thought I was French. I don’t know if he thought I looked foreign or if the loud hum of the air conditioner and freezer in the store made it sound like I had an accent.
One of my coworkers and I at my afternoon job have been getting PHP/MySQL lessons from another coworker, a CS major who just graduated like me and is working for Apple remotely this summer. We get homework assigned every week, which is invariably more interesting than studying for the GREs, but I try to spit my time equally.
By the way, this is entry number 2,003 in Toast. I’ve been blogging for about 7 years and 7 months. And it’s about that embarrassing to read what I posted when I was 14.
