The Day The Bonfires Resumed

Let the editing begin! Jenny finished reading the first draft of the story and chopped it like a ninja with her green pen, giving me some good pointers and ideas for how to smooth the edges. So that's been good. 

It's hot. Jenny unbuttons my shirt, concerned.
"How are you living?"
"For you," I say.

Lost a game of chess to Jade after work. 

Jenny and Megan finished some paperwork for their lives overseas and sent it to the proper government institution. Yesterday Jenny and I spent some time at her brother's and her dad's. Good family time all around. Baby Joe was adorable. Dinner was delicious.

I hung out with Brady and Ana in their apartment talking about religious loopholes and inequality in the workplace. They have an adorable cat.

Starting to look at apartment / housing listings.

Mellow bonfire. Iven and I got drinks at deVere's. Met up with Megan, Julianne and Murphy. Drinks on the patio. Chicken sandwich on a pretzel bun. Jenny joins us. Another round. We head back. Set up the backyard. Start a fire. Drew, Alan, Brendan, Michelle, Patsy and, for a short while, Jessica and her posse show up. Jessica doesn't like working at Oak Park. Patsy and Brendan share jaw-reconstruction stories. Michelle finally picks up her blanket. Twilight is discussed as Mormon porn. Jenny and I leave to get Greek food. Another chair breaks. We put out the fire soon after 11:00.

Seven days to Sac State orientation. Twelve to the start of classes. Fourteen until the Naked And Famous show at Harlow's. Thirty-three until Jenny goes to South Korea. And everything in between.
