I drew a guy with a shirt depicting four astronauts gallivanting about the asteroid belt playing tennis and tossing their space junk in a trash can. Apparently my description of this is too vague to find an actual picture.
Tyla is sort of an artist and the rest of her family is really into art.
I told Anna that I’d recognize her serotonin pendant anywhere and not because I actually know the molecular structure or formula of serotonin off the top of my head. She had a bag with various sea invertebrates and a mermaid.

Cecilia was looking for cheap books with pictures in them for an art project. She has a tattoo of hands holding. She didn’t want to use the Slovak book because there weren’t any pictures. There’s a book there that I think is Croatian because it's written in the Latin alphabet but it was translated in Belgrade.

It was very disorganized and there are a lot of times where I don't know who was playing. There was a guy with cyberpunkish tattoos of hexagons and circuitry and molecules and Chinese writing playing violin. Kelli Eagan played guitar. Someone was playing Irish music. There was an ensemble playing banjo, banjo, guitar, and drum, or something like that.

Angeni says it’s a name meaning angel. Not quite. It's the word angel in various North American languages that don't have the letter L. Angeni is decent with any four-stringed instrument, like the violin or viola or bass guitar, but add a fifth or sixth string, like a viol or a guitar, and she’s fucked. She had a brown dress and white shirt and brown ribbon and a lot of gold and white jewelry. Cal played clarinet and ukulele. She has a Murakami flower on her bag and once painted a paean to Takashi Murakami’s style, and was wearing ostrich socks and a hodgepodge of crystal jewelry along with two spiked chokers and a hat with safety pins on it. Her hair is half rust-red and half moss-green.

It rained for about 10 minutes, stopped, and then poured for about 5 minutes. So I didn’t really get to hear Parlour Bells do anything but set up. The sound guys noped on out of there and Lily was quite pissed because they knew rain was in the forecast and it only rained for 60 days in the spring. Lily wandered about playing the kazoo. She has the words “Through dangers untold and hardships unnumbered,” tattooed on her arm. It's a quote from Labyrinth.

I met a woman who had painted the words "unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot" on her jacket in response to Melania Trump, with a doge. I also met a few shih-tzus, a rather small black pug, a few labradors, a poodle, a Frenchie with an Albanian name starting with B that also has the sound "sh" in it, and a husky.

I found Lily, some friends, and the rest of the band: Phoebe, Kate, Liam, and Bobby, chilling on the platform.
I’m not sure what happened but Lily Black ended up playing a set starting at 6:30 which ended at 8, and was their usual mix of covers and originals but a few covers I’ve never heard from them, including Zombie by The Cranberries, Brain Stew by Green Day, Misty Mountain Hop by Led Zeppelin, Space Oddity by David Bowie which included some Josephine-esque drumming, Come As You Are Nirvana, and Jeremy by Pearl Jam, which is sadly still relevant today. It’s about a boy who brought a gun to school and killed himself in front of his class. MTV censored the video so it ends up looking like Jeremy shot everyone. Leave Me Alone is a cover.
She said we’re all having a blast, but she didn’t play that. I wonder if they’ve ever played Magic Dance. While this was happening, Nathaniel was doing yoga. Kevin and his friend were also sketching members of Lily Black although their techniques are a lot slower than mine. Someone had a Letters to Cleo shirt and says they're awesome live.
Blueberry Syrup and The Van Burens didn’t get to play, or if they did, I couldn’t find them. As I said, disorganized.

I got the empanadas at Cafe Pamplona I wanted to try and they are quite good. They have ground beef, garlic, onions, red peppers, and raisins. And you get two for five dollars along with more than enough salsa verde. So much, in fact, that I decided to take it home with me and eat some chips.
When it opened, it had a Basque owner and a Cuban chef.
The lid fell off and it spilled everywhere but it was in a container inside a bag. You think you can beat me. But you can’t. Ha.
I also had a shrimp taco from El Jefe’s and some raspberry lime sorbet with white chocolate chips and you may think that doesn’t work but it does. Well, it does if the chips don’t fall off. They have other cool toppings, like fruity pebbles and gummy bears and various fruits. If you want to walk to Porter Square or you have a reason to visit, they have coconut lime and strawberry ginger frogurt.
Berryline makes me think of the actual word berylline.
I was thinking about a shawarma but I already had the empanadas.

Mila was playing too. It was 9:20 PM so the light was less than adequate for portrait drawings.

It sounded like there were frogs in the Harvard Station. Not the bad kind of frog, the amphibian.
A guy had a T-shirt with the periodic table of Star Wars villains.

Isabelle has a cat named Cheese who is mostly white with orange splotches here and here and here but no black splotches, which is rather strange. She always wants attention.
I showed her the Fast Supper and she's not surprised that Ontario has the same exact fast food franchises we have. I guess there's Chick Fil A now but they don't have a mascot. Or their mascot is homophobia. Like an entite. Picture a Leámonde entite that spent too much time with The Colour Out Of Space. So, I don't know if I brought this up when I linked to the image, but the story is the artist found a lady selling her Last Supper prints and she used that to make The Fast Supper and that explains why Matthew has such a weird pose. I looked up a labeled Da Vinci painting. The artist (Fast, not Last, kupo) even says that you can't tell who anyone is.
Anyways, I was in Maryland and Virginia and DC and very briefly Delaware back when I was in high school but I think before Homestar Runner got its cult following, and there were all sorts of fast food places I've never heard of, like Popeye's and Sonic's and maybe even Hardee's. Isabelle has never watched Homestar Runner, by the way, so I just had to explain its mascot as "star with a creepy grin."

I've been to Newark once because I had to pee and there is no fucking way I am ever going there again.
I will also never travel through New York City ever again. I do recommend visiting, though. I do not recommend sitting in traffic for several hours.

I do know that there are Chinese KFC ripoffs, including MFC which I think stands for Mao's Fried Chicken, and then there's FBC and KLG, which I think are just nonsense Latin letters.
She thinks of all the McDonalds ripoffs in every anime ever. I thought of McDonalge in 5 Centimeters per Second, although I couldn't remember it by name. There’s a WcDonald. There’s a Weaponalds in Space Harrier. Mocbnalds. MgRonalds. In Cyrillic-speaking places, they’ll use an upsidedown McDonalds logo as a Ш.

She used to live in pastoral England and told me that pheasants are the dumbest bird ever. She says, yes, they are a lot like turkeys except smaller and somehow dumber, if you can believe it.

She was knitting a shawl that is meant to look like wings.

burning question: do you think that Bobson Dugnutt and Sleve McDichael or Mario McRlwain do celebrity endorsements for Mocbnalds and McDonalge?
