Last night was laundry night. Usually this is pretty uneventful -- sort, walk to Brian Wash, keep fingers crossed that it isn't super busy, blah blah. Tonight was pretty much the same, until this one dude decided it would be a great idea to wash all his clothes at once. The good news is, he didn't have that many clothes to wash, but that's... umm... also the bad news.
He was standing at a washer about four feet to my right when I saw his shirt come off. Odd, I thought, and went back to editing wedding photos. Then he momentarily disappeared from my line of sight... only to reappear adjusting a thin blue towel around his waist.
Ok, now I'm paying attention.
He wasn't a small man, standing about 6'3", beer gut, and -- oh yes -- plumber's crack (hot! -- no not really.). Towel man walked outside for a smoke and a chat on his cell phone. Upon return is when he started acting a bit erratically (because doing one's laundry practically naked in a public laundromat still isn't *that *strange for San Francisco).
Anyway, big surprise(!), turns out the guy wasn't so mentally stable. I know you're shocked. He seemed somewhat aware of it, if only in brief moments of clarity. I actually felt rather bad for him. Can't be easy having only one outfit to wear, and I appreciate that he wanted that outfit to be clean.
Evidently, he made some people a bit uncomfortable and the staff was soon asking him to put some clothes on. They finally offered something to wear from the lost and found bin, which he gratefully accepted and returned sporting an awesome royal blue Hawaiian shirt with colorful surfboards all over it and some cargo shorts.
Anyway, it sure made laundry night more interesting.
So, life has been pretty good. Still working more than is probably healthy, but it's kinda fun. Still not-dating-but-whatever the same boy for nearly 7-months (no wonder how I got to be 31 and single!). My roommate may be moving out come September and, although I'll miss her like crazy, I'm looking forward to having my own place. Starting to re-sort my photography portfolio... maybe I'll really make a go of it this time!
Oh! A HUGE congratulations to my friends Mie & Robby who welcomed their son Gus Koichi Carballer into the world this past Sunday, June 29th. He's perfect and precious.
Tralalala... and the beat goes on.
