but, as regular readers know, i have resolved in this life to successfully battle my demons cold sober or die trying (at least when it counts), so the fact that i didn't consider changing my phraseology from the conclusion of the previous post 'til i was typing inside an invisible cloud of my friend's marijuana residue meant i could not change to more sensitive wording, as that would be sensitivity born of a second-hand (almost) high.

meanwhile, the same friend who so generously supplied the second-hand thc has offered to buy me a new laptop as payment for the outline of a movie we've been discussing. i found a place (with help) that had an amazing model for a sufficiently low price (nothing else in that price range even comes close) but the place only had two, including the floor model, as of yesterday and my friend doesn't have time to get it today.

that means i may have to get a crummier computer. (sigh.)

on the bright side, a trip to whole foods in kensington high street revealed an even better array of samples than you get in new york.

life, it seems, is an up and down thing. (more references to my enthusiasm for samples can be found here.)

by the way, i may be second-hand high -- which is not my alma mater -- even now.
