     11:30am  Man, I have realized that I have weeks of work to type up all my stuff. I might just stay here a little bit longer. I much rather do it here than at my mom's house. I've got me the workstation I've been yearning for since I left. I barely consume here and Kati just told me I could stay as long as I want. That's really good. Umm, sorry San Antonio. Arcata is winning for now.

                     Oh yeah, and Tia just hooked me up with a Camel Wide. I just ran out of cigarettes.

                     Oh yeah, another thing I wanted to add in was that I'm so happy right now. My project is evolving and I am one step closer to having a webpage. It'll be so easy to read. So basic. I'm going to follow through.

                     The next step will be when I get the pictures developed. It's going to be awesome.

                     I don't know what time it is, but Kati and I are sitting down eating the usual, yummy migas Kati makes. Potatoes, refried beans, hot sauce and guacamole. It's good. A big taco.

     2:40pm  Kati and I just left the apartment. We are walking into town. We're going to go get me a bike. They're just going to let me have one at this Bike Library place. Actually, I'm going to get me an even better one if I promise I don't drive a car. Then, we'll ride out to the marsh . . . or the beach.

     3:45pm  We had come over to the bike library and they're going to give me a bike. I had stopped in the Co-op to buy something so I could break Kati's hundred dollar bill. She gave me twenty dollars and told me, "Here, go get a bike." I'll get the twenty back when return the bike.

     4:20pm  I just took a picture of Kati at the marsh. We rode our new bikes out here.

     5:45pm  We just walked past the Cafe Moco and Finnish Sauna place. They got these badass hot tubs here that are all private. You can get naked in them and stuff. It's like seven dollars per person per half hour. This is going to be cool.

     6:04pm  Man, it gets dark early now. Kati and I just rode home. I had gotten in front of her and am waiting for her now. I'm kind of unsure about riding this bike. I'm not used to going so fast and being at risk of crashing and hurting myself. Even though I have a helmet on. I want to start walking again.

                   I don't know.

     8:07pm  Kati just gave me a whole pack of cigarettes she bought me! We had been walking earlier and she went to the store for something. I asked her what she got and she said treats. Thank you, baby.

Next day..
