The end of August is coming...where did summer go ?!
I went to the Public Library for the first time in a Long time yesterday. Since then I've been listening to Dear Catastrophe Waitress by Belle and Sebastian for a majority of the day. I did pick up other CDs and books, but this album takes the cake ! Piazza, New York Catcher makes me think of Carlos everytime I hear it, I can't wait for him to be back in the city for good. As well as for us to talk and figure out what exactly we're doing. Patience Melissa...
This drizzly Sunday turned out to be a really great day. I've finally found the trick to making my room clean: throw out everything that's unnecessary, instead of hoarding all the things I find sentimental. I never look at those things again anyways. So with a newly clean room, I took apart an unused bunnyhug and used it to spruce up a funky gigantic sweater. Actually, I just added the white band at the bottom. This shirt is so big that the wind would blow right up through the torso and I would feel like I was wearing nothing at all.

Then me and mom baked Red Bean Buns. Well, she bought frozen dinner roll dough and we stuffed them with Coshi An (red bean paste) then left them to rise to triple the original size.

| Egg washed and black sesame seeded. |
 |
| The lighting makes them look burnt. |
 |
| Tada ! I've got that corny smile going on because my mom was taking the photo. Remember, when you're little and your mom says "Smile like this, it looks nice" but you actually just look quite silly? |
 |
Ha, she moved so I wouldn't photograph her, but it turned out even better. |

Washed down my bun with some Postum:
ground roasted barley drink that tastes like coffee. |
Deeeeelicious ! We did leave some behind for Jojo to eat when he gets home from Edmonton, though mom was pretty steamed (and most likely worried) that when I texted him at 9, he and Shari were
just leaving Lloydminster, meaning they won't be home until around 11. He's a grown man, he'll be fine. She'll learn to stop stressing herself over him unnecessarily...one of these days. Everyone's geating down for sleep, as should I. Need to load up all Belle and Sebastian, Most Serene Republic, Malajube and New Pornographers onto the Mp3 to make work fun for tomorrow. Night !
