part 2

◇─◇──◇─◇◇─◇──◇─◇◇─◇──◇─◇◇─◇──◇─◇◇─◇──◇

You almost couldn’t believe your sheer dumb luck. Was it years of hard work that finally paid off? Maybe. Was it divine intervention? Perhaps it was. But you could hardly believe that you had managed to go through the process of applying for an exchange from your University to the one you were currently sat in. Sunny San Diego had always felt like a perfectly good place to explore, and you had painstakingly went through many Universities’, reading their websites and the description of their international programmes. You’d looked at other countries as well, but you had secretly always been quite fascinated with the US - and when you received the e-mail that a university in San Diego could accomodate you, you’d almost screamed out loud back in your home country. 

It had been a few weeks now. The semester had started, the weather was still warm as ever, and you had finally decided that today you would go sight-seeing. Spending the early morning at La Jolla Cove, you looked at the sea lions - marvelling at how cute (albeit smelly) they were, and enjoying taking the scenic route in the beat up, champagne colored, Honda you’d rented. It was automatic - something you weren’t really accustomed to (back at home you always drove a manual). Today was a day off for you, so you felt like you could really do all of the touristy things you hadn’t had the time for since you arrived before the semester started. Sure, you’d spent the first week seeing all the things you felt were important. You’d been to Cheesecake Factory (happily surprised with the hibachi steak you had), you’d been to a baseball game (it was fun! You’d gotten a little pin that said it was your first game), and you’d tried to understand american football - courtesy of a very drunk guy on campus who seemed appalled that you, an international student, did not already know the inns and outs of the game. The memory made you snort out a short laugh. 

By the time lunch rolled around you’d gotten to Old Town, where you drank in the charm of the buildings, looking at trinkets in the shops, and stopping to gaze at the Whaley House. You’d never really been too into true crime, but even you knew about the Whaley House - and despite the warm weather, a chill ran down your spine. Shaking it off, you decided it was definitely time for some lunch. Milling about Old Town, you suddenly spotted a quaint little place that seemed to serve variations of tacos and burritos - which turned out to be the best damn burrito you ever ate in your entire life. 

Continuing the day of sight-seeing, your little Honda puttered further down, weaving in and out of scenic routes and roads. You’d turned off your google maps when you left Old Town, wanting to have some spontaneity in your adventures. After quite some time driving (it was now afternoon, closer to evening), you found a parking spot to claim, where you figured you could continue on foot. Looking around, you’d managed to find a beach, where a small bar sat - music playing softly from within. Heading for the beach, you peeked inside. It seemed as if the woman inside was setting up for the afternoon and night, and it seemed rather empty. Perhaps you’d have a quick swim and have your dinner there. 

You went for a quick swim, enjoying the way the waves cooled your body down and washed away the sweat and grime from having driven and walked around all day. Having a quick dry-off, you swiftly put your clothes on again (only stumbling once when putting on your pants, that’s a win!), and headed for the bar you’d spotted earlier. By now the sky had turned a beautiful shade of red, lilac and blue, as the sun set slowly. Making your way inside the bar, you managed to get the attention of the pretty woman in the bar - standing next to a man with dark hair that she had been talking to. 

“Hi, do you serve food here as well?” you asked with a smile, nodding in acknowledgement to the man sat by the bar. As the woman confirmed your suspicions, you ordered something small and made your way over to the other side of the bar - you didn’t want to seem like you were prying. As your eyes scanned the shelves, seeing some familiar bottles and some unfamiliar bottles of liquor - you suddenly felt a strange need for a drink. You’d driven here though, so a coke would have to do. 

As you waited for your food to arrive, more people were entering the (what you thought was a) quiet bar. Many of them were dressed in khaki. Now, you didn’t exactly have an impeccable sense of fashion - but khaki always made you think of Bella Swan. Her khaki skirt. Sexy, according to S. Meyer. 

Your gaze roamed around to find a blond man throwing darts, his friend trying to mess him up by putting a hand in front of his eyes - to no avail though - it looked like it was a bullseye from where you sat. Looking around further, you spotted a group of people gathered around a pool table - and you almost wished you’d brought a friend, just so that you could play. Of course you could always ask to join, but you felt like you were too shy for that. You never wanted to impose. 

Seeing a beautiful woman in a sleek bun walking in, walking with purpose towards the pool tables had you biting your lip. Why were all these khaki clad people so handsome? Was it a club? Your brows furrowed slightly at your own thoughts. Surely not. 

As your head swivelled to thank the bartender for the food she’d just delivered to you, you noticed the door swinging open, and a tall form walking in. And boy, howdy, were you glad you’d decided to turn your attention to the door.

Never in your life would you have imagined salivating over a man with a hawaiian shirt over the top of a white wife-beater, let alone a man with a fucking moustache. But damn, this dude had obviously won the gene-lottery. A soft uttering of a curse word slipped past your lips in your native language, and the bartender, who had apparently hung around to witness your reaction, couldn’t help but laugh at the expression on your face. 

But like honestly, you felt you were blame-less in this. The man stood tall, with broad shoulders and (when he’d removed his sunglasses) a face that would make a Vogue model envious. In other words, a man that would never in a million years go for you. You sighed, shaking your head slightly, picking up your jaw from the floor, you turned to order a drink from the bartender, only to find that she had moved on down the bar. You could only smile at your own behaviour. You weren’t a teenager anymore! Should a man really make you react like that? A man with a hawaiian shirt at that. 

“That seems awfully dry without a drink,” 

Perhaps you were having an aneurysm. A short-circuit. A power outage? The voice that spoke was soft, but the honeyed tone of his voice alone made you want to shiver. Turning your head yet again, your lips slightly parted in surprise, you were met by the face of Hawaiian shirt God, standing right there next to you. Blinking a couple of times, you took a quick look-around, just to make sure a Victoria's Secret model wasn’t standing right next to you with something dry that he could comment on.

“Uh, are you– are you talking to me?” it might seem like he was, but one could never be too sure. Perhaps he was talking on the phone. Without headphones. You never know! Hawaiian shirt God chuckled and nodded towards your food and your apparent lack of drink. 

“Oh, I drove here!” you smiled “I was going to order a coke but the bartender was too fast for me,” you said in a jovial tone, making sure to not make it seem as if you blamed her. Hawaiian shirt God furrowed his brows, leaning his frame on the bartop, twisting his torso so it was facing you (was it getting hot in here?), with a bewildered look on his face. 

“You know you can have a drink and still drive home right?” you could kick yourself. You were used to the slightly stricter laws from back home.

“Oh,” you uttered softly “I’m not from around here. I’m not used to being allowed to drive if alcohol has even touched my tongue,” you joked, shrugging your shoulders. 

“Could I perhaps buy you something to drink? Coke is allowed,” he smirked and your breath hitched in your throat as you took in his words. He wanted to buy you a— you blinked and took a steadying breath. 

“I– yeah, sure. What’re you having?” you asked, your mind suddenly becoming blank. What did you even like to drink? It was as if you had never had anything to drink ever in your entire life before this. How embarrassing. He answered with the name of a beer you’d never heard of and you wrinkled your nose slightly. The laugh that rolled from his lips was divine. If only you were a stand-up comedian and could make him laugh all the live long day. 

“Not a fan of beer, huh?” he asked, smiling down at your sitting form. You smiled sheepishly, shaking your head as you took your bottom lip in between your teeth to think. 

“Perhaps a glass of wine?” you looked up at him questioningly, and he smiled in response 

“Red or white?” 

“White, please,” you smiled. He nodded and managed to make eye-contact with the bartender, who swiftly helped him with the drinks. 

“Thank you so much–” you raised an eyebrow, your tone insinuating you wanted a name for Hawaiian shirt God. 

“Rooster,” 

Hold on. What? Like the animal? 

“R-Rooster?” you were trying your damn best not to laugh. Laughing would feel like an insult to this poor kids’ parents. You knew some Americans liked to name their children eccentric things, but you figured that was mostly Hollywood. 

His booming laughter at the way you hesitantly stuttered his name had your cheeks warm with embarrassment, and you averted your gaze down to your finished plate of food.

“I’m so sorry, sweetheart, my name’s Bradley. I’ve gotten so used to being called Rooster so– I figured not too many civilians would find their way into the Hard Deck,” he smiled, and it seemed as if he was trying his hardest not to seem like he was mansplaining his name to you. Bradley. Alright, maybe his parents did love him after all.

“Oh, well thank you then, Bradley,” you smiled uncertainly “and uh- well I guess I am a civilian, I’ve been sight-seeing all day so you might even smack me in the face with ‘tourist’ as well if you want,” you joked. Again, that chuckle was endearing as all hell. You had no idea what he meant by civilian, but you didn’t want to seem any more dumb by asking what he meant by that. 

He searched your face for a little while, letting silence fall between the two of you for a short moment - a moment where you yet again could hear the background noise, the drunk singing, the cheering for the people who played pool (you guessed this is why people were cheering, but you were also quite certain you’d heard a bell being rung as well). And in the midst of the noise, you could vaguely make out words of conversations that happened around you - catching words such as ‘naval’, ‘officer’ and ‘lieutenant’. 

“Ohh,” you uttered softly, understanding, quickly checking out a person wearing khaki who passed by you. Of course. It was a uniform! You figured the woman who wore her hair in a tight bun was just a woman who wanted to flaunt her immaculate cheekbones, but now it seemed more likely that they were probably military. How did this always manage to happen to you?

“Are you in the army?” you blurted out, and he at first looked amused, but then borderline offended. Shit. Did you do the ol’ foot-in-mouth now? You knew absolutely nothing about the US military, you didn’t even know shit about your military back home. 

“I’m a naval aviator,” he responded with a small smile, his body language telling you he wasn’t all too keen to brag. Even though it was undoubtedly impressive. 

“I’m sorry– I didn’t mean to offend you or anything. I know I joked about being a tourist earlier but I sort of am - I mean, I’m an international student–” you were struggling to find words that didn’t make you sound unbelievably stupid, but sometimes when you had to talk fast, it was as if all the english you’d ever learnt fell out of your vocabulary, and you wanted nothing more than to blurt out some familiar words from your native language. 

“Are you old enough to be in here?” he asked as you mentioned you were a student. Now it was your turn to be offended. You were nearing your thirties thank you very much. 

“I’m working towards a master of science, so I’m definitely old enough to be in here, thanks” you explained, narrowing your eyes slightly at him, a smirk playing on your lips. He smiled at you again before sipping his beer. 

“I never caught your name, sweetheart,” he continued.

“You never asked,” you replied, only slightly letting your tone hint at flirting as you sipped your wine, keeping eye contact with him over the rim of your wine glass. 

“I’m asking now,” God, the way his voice had lowered and became slightly husky should be illegal. You could feel your body react unceremoniously to the sound of his voice, and you had to lick your lower lip as you pondered how to answer. Should you say your name with like, an American accent? Should you say it as you would usually at home? 

You settled on the latter. You didn’t have the confidence to pronounce it like an American would.  

“I’m sorry, I didn’t quite catch that?” you repeated it, slowly, and jokingly said that he was allowed to call you your nickname if he was in a hurry. He laughed at that. You enjoyed making him laugh. His eyes looked so pretty when they lit up in the dim bar-light. 

You smiled up at him, and you were just about to initiate another topic of conversation, when his name was called from across the bar.

“Rooster, is this how I find out you’re state-side?” It was the beautiful woman with a tight bun. Damn. 

“I’m sorry, would you excuse me for a second?” he smiled at you, and seemed glad to have seen his friend. You nodded quickly “Absolutely!” 

And he was gone. Fuck. That was the most exhilarating experience you’d had in a while and you’d let him slip away! It wasn’t as if he was going to drag you out back and take you against the wall (but damn if he wanted to you wouldn’t say no), but still - you had liked how confidently he’d approached you and how sweet he had been about buying you something to drink. You stared at said drink now, swirling the wine slowly in the glass that was now half full - you took a sip as your eyes wandered across the room. The bar had a warm, familiar feeling - even though this was your first time being there. You wouldn’t mind spending more time here. Perhaps they were looking for help - you had bartended before. 

Shaking your head, you took another sip of your wine. Rooster had said you could drive home after a drink, but you felt like perhaps it would be wise to wait a little while after finishing your drink before you hit the roads. But now you didn’t have the company of Bradley to keep you occupied, and you heaved a small sigh as you brought out your phone to scroll through social media, checking your instagram story from earlier during the day. 

Suddenly, the familiar sound of ‘Slow Ride’ was cut short, and you heard the soft notes of a piano being played. Looking up, you quickly found that the source of the sounds was Bradley, his shade having slid down to rest on his nose. Jesus, was he aware what the hell he was doing? Probably. He smiled as he spotted you, and you couldn’t help but smiled back before he turned his attention to the people standing around him as he started to sing. 

This motherfucker needed to slow down. If he wasn’t careful he’d catch a wife. With a voice like that, his endearing approach and fucking insane looks he was surely very popular. If he even mentioned he liked literature or cuddling, you’d be done for. 

“Jesus fucking Christ,” you muttered, downing the rest of your wine in one go, letting the glass hit the bartop with a bit more force than you’d first intended. A familiar laughter permeated the air, and the bartender woman was stood in front of you again - ready to collect your glass. No doubt she needed it clean for the next round of costumers. 

“He’s something, isn’t he?” she smiled at you, and you could only nod.

“Is he always like this?” you inquired and she laughed again. 

“Well, I haven’t seen him in quite a while but yeah, I think so,” she smiled at you “But I’m not sure I’ve ever seen him buy anyone a drink quite this quick before,” she winked at you, making your cheeks warm up again. 

“Hey, would you ever need help around here?” you found the courage to ask “I’ve bartended before, and I make a mean whiskey sour,” you smiled. She pondered your offer for a while before answering,

“Let me think on it. Why don’t you come in tomorrow and we can talk about it?” you nodded and thanked her. 

The smile on the bartenders lips widened (Penny, you found out her name was,) as her gaze lifted from you, to something above and behind you. Furrowing your brows, you twisted around to see Bradley stood behind you again. 

“Hey, sweetheart. Sorry about that,” he smiled at you. Damn. He found you again?

“Don’t… worry about it,” it almost sounded like a question.

“You up for a game of pool?” he questioned, before ordering another beer “More wine?” he asked you, leaning slightly over you, letting his arm brush against yours. 

“I probably shouldn’t…” you trailed off, biting your lip in contemplation.

“Come on… stay a while,” he smiled softly at you, his brown eyes twinkling all prettily again. 

“Alright then, but I can buy my own drink,” you insisted, but he just shook his head. 

Spending time with Bradley felt as easy as breathing, and as the two of you played together, you made easy conversation. Turned out he was quite fond of literature (fuck), and that he was quite fascinated by your field of study (fuckin’ hell). As you missed your third shot, a colorful curse word slipped past your lips and Bradley laughed loudly. 

“I can’t believe I missed that!” you complained, throwing your head back, agitated. You were not necessarily a sore loser, but you felt like you were pretty alright at the game and could do better. 

“You didn’t have the angle quite down,” Bradley said with a shrug, and you narrowed your eyes playfully. 

“Oh, show me how it’s done then,” you mocked him, offering him the table. 

“Yeah, I think I will,” he smirked, grabbing a hold of your arm, and placing himself behind you - his chest pressed against your back. For the umpteenth time that night, your breath was hitched somewhere in between your lungs and your mouth. You could feel rather than hear Bradley chuckle against you, his lips now close to your ear as he whispered “More like this,” before stepping slightly to your side, one hand on your hip to lean you over the pool table. Fuck. Fucking fuck. With Bradley’s help, unfortunately you made the shot perfectly. Straightening up, you turned slowly, facing Bradley’s chest before looking up at him.

“That was good, sweetheart,” he praised. Jesus. Your thighs were clenching against your will and you had to swallow before an airy laugh slipped past your lips. You were so close. One of his hands still rested on your hips, the other now rising slowly to brush a strand of hair out of your face - helping it rest behind your ear. The tips of his fingers ghosting against your neck. Holy crap. You hoped he’d kiss you. His eyes searched yours, a small smile playing on his lips, and it felt as if he was inching closer to you. 

Suddenly the cleaning lights unceremoniously lit up the bar. Damn. You hadn’t even noticed the last call. You swore you heard Bradley utter a soft “fuck” but you might’ve imagined it. 

There was a general stir, as people hurried to finish their drinks and make their way out of the bar. 

“I’ll see you tomorrow!” Penny called to you, and you smiled and nodded towards her before turning back to Rooster, who had taken a step away from you. Damn.

“You’re coming here tomorrow?” he asked and you nodded, smiling at him like he hung the moon. 

“Hopefully I’ll see you tomorrow then?” he inquired as the two of you made your way out of the bar and out in to the chilly night.

“But uh… just in case I don’t… could I maybe have your phone number?” he continued hurriedly. You blinked slowly, before a large grin found its’ way onto your lips. 

“Yeah!” you exclaimed breathlessly, holding your hand out for his phone. He smiled as you put in your contact, and the two of you just smiled awkwardly for a moment before parting ways. 

God, what a great adventure you’d had - you thought as you giggled and danced your way back to your Honda, giddy after having given Rooster your number. You were looking forward to spending more time at the Hard Deck if it meant meeting Bradley more.

San Diego Souther

Another great weekend in SD... We were initially going to celebrate the life of Herb Collins, but decided to extend to see peeps. Stayed in La Jolla for a change, at the Pantai Inn, a super cute boutique hotel. Nice to see the ocean from bed and hear the seagulls. This one was really interested in everything we had to say.

Friday night, we poured one out for Sweet Pea and Herb at The Spot. Then Kelly & Max came down for dinner at Aroi Thai and gelato at Bobboi. Saturday was Herb's memorial in Janet & Herb's backyard. It was a lovely party with lots of friends and family, also a bonus puppy who was being picked up to go to her new family in Templeton. Saturday night was a great mangout at Randi & Dan's, with homemade pizza and lots of little girl giggles.

Five Best Beaches in Southern California

In Southern California the best shorelines have long sandy shorelines you can stroll for quite a long time, as yet amazing perspectives, water that while cold still exceptionally simple to bounce into and waves the ideal size for the normal individual to ride and play in. I've been fortunate enough to go through Days inn redondo beach ca going around the territory and finding my top choices.

Every one of these shorelines offers you something somewhat unique, yet they all have wonderful shorelines you can swim in, scrumptious perspectives and charming spots to investigate off the sand.

LA JOLLA SHORES

My most up to date disclosure is La Jolla Shores. While I appreciate the nourishment, shops, and the bay, for me, the fundamental segment of La Jolla doesn't have the equivalent laid back shoreline soul I pine for. We remained a night at the La Jolla Riviera Inn which was an ideal spot for the family to crash and visit.

La Jolla Shores Beach BoyThe shoreline itself is long enough to walk a few miles and has wonderful perspectives from Torrey Pines and the parasailers, to the La Jolla Cove and, obviously, the sea itself. The shoreline has an assortment of exercises including kayaking or oar boarding, surfing, tide pools and an assortment of scuba visits. Surfers have their own assigned zone making them both amusing to watch and guarding swimmers. The waves were ideal for a little body surfing too.

Up from the shoreline you will discover a portion of delicious cafés and shops. We adored halting into the Cheese Shop, where I eat extraordinary compared to other fish sandwiches I've at any point had. For espresso, the family made at any rate four stops into Brick and Bell Cafe, ideal for completing some work or extraordinary for getting an espresso in transit once again from a morning plunge in the sea. The main thing we didn't care for about La Jolla Shores was the way short we visited.

MANHATTAN BEACH

Manhattan Beach Under the Pier sea californiaThe ideal spot for a fast escape with its vicinity to the Los Angeles Airport yet far enough expelled that you have a feeling that you've gotten away. Long shorelines, promenades and docks to walk. You can appreciate perspectives on the sea, the Los Angeles coast and the amazing chateaus along the promenade.

You will discover charming shops, including one of my preferred book shops Pages, and a portion of my preferred eateries for each feast you can consider. It is a simple spot to go through days meandering around unwinding and reveling. For somewhat more Manhattan Beach and why I cherish it, investigate my post on an end of the week escape and my plan for the day.

LAGUNA BEACH

Why Laguna Beach is the Perfect Beach, If You Don't Like the Beach. From the nourishment to the perspectives to the art.If you are searching for an exceptional shoreline experience Laguna has it for you. The city may have amazing shorelines and bluffs, heavenly cafés, and charming boutiques, yet what it brings that others don't is a fascinating craftsmanship scene.

Regardless of whether you're propelled by meandering coolly through the exhibitions or going to one of the significant occasions they hold over the late spring. This shoreline is loaded up with beloved recollections of sandwiches on the shoreline and completing an incredible day with a Pizookie from B.Js. Two of my preferred approaches to go through a day in Laguna Beach resemble I did as a child, and getting a charge out of everything the city offers other than the shoreline.

NEWPORT BEACH

A winter evening getting a charge out of the view from the Balboa Beach Pier in Newport Beach, California. This is the shoreline I spent my youngsters at and with it comes stunning recollections. It was the ideal shoreline for going around with companions. We'd lease cruisers and head here and there the promenade. Eat out at Ruby's on the dock or one of the nourishment stands. At that point we'd head over to Balboa Island, taking the ship and play some arcade games.

These days, I appreciate viewing the surfers of Balboa Pier, getting a charge out of delectable bars and eateries. Leasing an oar board and advance around the narrows. Completing the a day at the shoreline with a campfire is about as near an ideal day at the shoreline as you can get. Be that as it may, try to appear early and get your firepit before they are altogether taken.

SAN CLEMENTE BEACH

San Clemente PierAnother relaxed shoreline concealed a bit. There are not many shorelines in Southern California where despite everything you get an inclination that you've gotten away from the remainder of the world and made it to a backed off, easygoing spot. However, San Clemente is only that. Laid back and without a portion of the stuffiness, you find at some different shorelines.

Head down to San Clemente to unwind for the afternoon, or appreciate supper on the dock. Lease a bicycle and ride down the promenade. Get something to eat for either breakfast or lunch at the Beach Garden Cafe directly opposite the wharf. On the off chance that it's a bustling day there will be a stand by however it is justified, despite all the trouble, so simply arrive before you're as of now eager.

GIVE ME THE SAND, SUN, AND SPLASH

Presently these spots may be my top pick, however on the off chance that you give me the sea, some sand and the sun I am totally enamored. I don't think about you, however for me there is no spot I am at more harmony than sitting close or on an enormous waterway, and nothing beats the sea.

BBC Les Mis highlights

I waited till the last minute to review decided to review the BBC Les Mis series after all 6 episodes have aired.  So here’s my partially analytical, partially comical commentary on the BBC series.  A lot of stuff under the cut, lol.

- The Waterloo scene with Thénardier flexin’ like he wasn’t just about to rob Pontmercy 😒.  The dude’s so two-faced, but that’s in character.

- The Toulon prison scene looks like it was filmed in an arid, desert-like region, like Zion National Park.  I’m very curious about where this was filmed!

- One moment in the Toulon scene that stood out to me was with the prisoner about to get executed by firing squad.  And Javert just says “fire” in the most monotone voice ever as if it was nothing.  It really shows how indifferent he is to this sort of stuff.

- The “you will never win” line from Javert makes him seem like a stereotypical movie villain.  Just add lightning and a dramatic music sting wait, there’s no music allowed.

- The French dialog in the background is a clever way to establish the setting.  I wish I knew more French so I could understand the background conversations!

- The parts of episode 1 with Fantine and her homies just hanging out and being happy were my favorite scenes.

- Fantine is played by Lily Collins, who is Phil Collins’ daughter.  Phil Collins is a musician.  But I thought there was no singing allowed, Davies 😤

- I like how Fantine has a last name (Tibeau) in this series.  I like the idea of giving names to characters with unmentioned last/first names in the book.

- Georges Pontmercy tries to contact his father-in-law George Washington Gillenormand, who is a pretentious royalist that won’t let Marius see his dad.

- Seriously, I know almost nothing about 19th century fashion and I still can tell that Gillenormand and his royalist buddies’ hairstyles are anachronistic.

- Cosette, Éponine, and Azelma playing together after Fantine arrived with Cosette at the inn reminded me of the powerpuff girls with their hair styles.

-This is sad as well, because this the last time Cosette will be happy in a very long time.

- Fantine being optimistic and thinking she’ll see Cosette in 6 months really makes me sad, knowing what will happen in the future.

- Madeleine firing Fantine for lying (when he himself is lying, in a way, by hiding his identity) seems harsh and out-of character.  Valjean is supposed to have the most dramatic character changes of all the characters, but it looks like he hasn’t changed at all since Toulon.

- Javert talks to Madeleine in the same condescending way he did when he was 24601.  He was being all passive-aggressive and basically accusing him of being a criminal without directly saying it to his face.

- The dude that buys Fantine’s hair and teeth looks hella creepy.  Like wtf is that tattoo near his eye?

- Javert was super indifferent to Fantine’s death.

- Javert seems more like lawful evil than lawful neutral in this series.

- Valjean Harry Houdinis himself out of prison and shows up to get Cosette...2 years later?

- Rosalie Thénardier (again, I like that she has a first name) is depicted very well and is not solely a comic relief.

- Creepy hair buying guy returns and sells Chuckie Catherine to Valjean

- Valjean when he sees that Thénardier followed him and Cosette into the woods to bargain for more money:

- Cosette is right.  The landlord is a nosy lil bitch.

- At the end of episode 3, Javert gets super pissed that Valjean has narrowly escaped.  This is so sad Alexa play One Way or Another by Blondie.

- Big time jump!  What year is it?  Now I miss the exact year being shown on the screen.

- Valjean has morphed into Queen Aggravain from Once Upon a Mattress, so I guess Cosette is a much-smarter Prince Dauntless?  (Stop it annachronistic!  This is not a musical review.  Andrew Davies forbids it 😠)

- Since Cosette has some traits of an ingenue, and since Davies likes making female characters one-dimensional, I was afraid that he was gonna make her really dumb.  Thankfully she is smart, and I don’t think that Valjean perceives her as being dumb.  I think he is trying to shelter her from the world not because he thinks she is weak, but because he is super paranoid and has trust issues.  Like he might be afraid of her meeting someone like Tholomyes or Thénardier.

- But Valjean goes about his protection of Cosette in the most jerkish way possible. 

- Mabeuf is the real MVP

- The return of the landlord in episode 4 (dun dun dunn)

- I hate the strip tease scene.  Like stahp.

- And I also dislike the over-sexualization of (abused!) women, and the idea that a woman has to be “sexy” or beautiful in order to be loved.  In the words of the great Bart Baker “It sends the message to young girls: pretty equals happiness.  If you’re ugly then you’re worthless and your life will be bland and shitty”

- In episode 4 Marius is pretty much a socially awkward Glenn Quagmire from Family Guy.

- The scene where Thénardier forces Azlema to break the window with her hand makes Thénardier look like a sociopath.

- I don’t know why Valjean took Cosette to the Gorbeau house where the Thénardiers were staying.  I think it’s to emphasize that Cosette remembers the Thénardiers?

- New drinking game: take a shot every time Thénardier says he was in Waterloo.

- The Gorbeau house raid was actually my favorite scene of episode 4 (I’m biased because I’m an action movie fan), although there is a shocking lack of “would you like my hat?”.

- Valjean going crazy and burning his arm with the hot iron and Madame Thénardier throwing that giant ass rock!   I think X Gon’ Give It To Ya by DMX would be the perfect soundtrack for the Gorbeau house scene.

- Gavroche’s brothers/gamin buddies in episode 5!

- Also, Gavroche looks like Huey Freeman from The Boondocks.  I cannot unsee this.

- Marius, justifiably upset at his grandfather says “You disrespected my father, and now you disrespect wife?!”  Like, he didn’t even say “future” wife, and he’s only spoken to her 4 times in the show.  Slow down there, buckaroo.

- Also Gillenormand changes somewhat even he changed more than Valjean wtf and has some regrets about not letting Marius see his dad.

- I hate seeing Valjean fighting with Cosette.  In fact, the whole thing is pretty farcical.  There are a lot of Jerry Springer moments.

- Case in point: Enjolras.  The background info for the reasons for the June rebellion was glossed over pretty quickly, so it seems like he’s starting shit just to start shit.

- Javert thinks Valjean is the leader of the rebellion like wtf?  At this point, BBC Javert seems more like the Javert from the musical (ya know, going after the same criminal for almost 2 decades instead of randomly meeting him in a series of coincidences). 

- I love the drone shots of the barricades

- Marius goes from super giddy to suicide bomber in like one day.  I love the recurring theme of characters going berserk.

- And Enjolras and the rebels thought that was a badass moment for him.

- It’s a 3-way tie between Valjean, Javert, and Marius for being the most extra™ character in the series.

- Cosette saying “I hate you” to Valjean somehow seemed both out-of character and justified.

- Éponine getting shot was too sad.

- Gavroche’s body getting put next to Éponine‘s :(

- The army guy staring at Grantaire and Enjolras after killing them :(

- After Valjean finds him at the barricade and sees he has a knife Javert is like:

- Valjean saying he might “change his mind” about not killing Javert ???

- not enough sewers 0/10

- Gillenormand’s reaction when he thought that Marius was dead made me finally feel sympathy for him

- Javert’s suicide was surreal because he was methodical about it.  After crying for a few seconds, he goes back to his stoic self and jumps off the bridge because he actually sees it as a logical solution.

- Valjean casually admitting to Marius that he was thinking about murdering him *eyeroll*

- The biggest what-the-fuck moment (history wise) was when Thénardier said he was going to La Jolla in the New World to trade slaves.  If I heard it right, he is talking about La Jolla in California.  California did not become a state until 1850.  So if this is true, then Cosette is in her mid-30′s, Marius is at least 40, and Thénardier is at least 77.  Damn, they aged well!

- Valjean’s hair finally changed color once he slips into depression.

- At least Valjean had a peaceful death, and Cosette was by his side.  His relationship with his daughter was resolved and the story was able to (sort of) have a happy ending.

- Speaking of endings, the series ends on a frickin’ cliff hanger with the two gamin boys begging on the streets.  I guess it’s to show that the world is still a cruel place, but some can overcome it?

- We now need Les Misérables 2: Thénardier goes to America and his 2 unnamed sons get adopted by the Pontmercys.

January in San Diego

We saw some unreal sunsets in San Diego!

We were incredibly fortunate to spend 5 weeks in San Diego in January. We loved the weather and the access to the outdoors -- beaches, trails on cliffs and waterfronts, hikes in the hills and mountains.

With a strong military presence, the mix of right-leaning and sometimes white nationalist types with laid-back surfers at times seemed an odd combination, and overall SD didn't seem as highly educated a city as the other coastal cities we visited (e.g., Seattle, SF). The vegan/vegetarian food was okay but not great for people who don't want their food to imitate meat. All of that said, San Diego was a fantastic place to spend the winter and we'd love to come for the weather and natural beauty.

LIVABILITY SUMMARY

Climate (5/5): SD is known for its great weather, and we really enjoyed daytime temperatures being in the 60s most days in January. There was some rain, but not much. Note: SD is at risk for the rare tsunami. We were awoken by an early morning tsunami alert one day after a major volcanic eruption in Tonga.

Access to the Outdoors (5/5): In addition to the excellent beaches and accompanying water sports, there seemed to be plenty of beautiful places to hike and walk in the city, more so than any other U.S. city we visited. There are also quite a few attractions, like the world-famous San Diego Zoo, Sea World, and nearby Disneyland, though we didn't visit any of these.

Traffic (4/5): Traffic on the highways was never as bad as LA or even SF, but people seemed pretty bad at driving (e.g., unable to stay in their lane, cutting off other drivers with very little room to spare).

Vegan/Vegetarian Food (3.5/5): It was decently easy to find vegan and vegetarian food options compared to other cities we spent time in. We didn't think the food was as tasty as some cities, though (e.g., LA, Portland, SF) and in particular didn't love that it leaned more towards "meat replacement" vegan than herbivore-focused vegan. Of note, SD seems to have a fun brewery scene and is known for its West Coast IPAs. 

Cost of Living (3.5/5): With its hefty state tax and high gas prices, California isn't inexpensive. In addition, we found Airbnb and long-term hotel stay (i.e., Residence Inn) rentals to be quite expensive in SD; it was difficult to find even a short-term 1-bedroom for under $5k/month. That said, we only booked about a month in advance, and we don't know what long-term rental prices look like. Some things like haircuts and parking seemed much less expensive than other comparably nice / coastal cities. Finally, food was pretty pricey, at least the vegan/vegetarian-friendly places we tried.

BEACHES

San Diego has lots of beaches, so we only scratched the surface in our month-long visit! These are the ones we visited, roughly ordered starting with our most-loved.

La Jolla: This seems like perhaps the upscale and slightly-older-demographic version of Pacific Beach. We first went to the town center, snagged one of several free 2-hour parking spots, and ate a bougie good-but-not-mind-blowing brunch at The Cottage. Then we found some free street parking near La Jolla Cove, an area with an elevated walking path along the ocean, and saw the sea lions and seals. It was very pretty and also quite crowded on a holiday weekend morning. Parking (free): On streets.

Seals by La Jolla Children’s Pool

Sea Lions in La Jolla

Beautiful views walking along the La Jolla seaside

Walking along La Jolla Shores

Pacific Beach: This was right by one of our airbnbs, and it was very beautiful, though with Jersey Shore vibes on the crowded weekends. There is a long boardwalk that is great for walks or runs and has lovely views of the water. There is also an area with lots of beachside restaurants and bars. The neighborhood around this seemed full of people in their 20s and families with young children. Parking: We always walked here so we're not the experts, but it seemed like you could park for free on the side streets running perpendicular to the beach. We didn't notice any paid lots along the beach.

Sunset at Pacific Beach

Del Mar Beach: Del Mar is a coastal town just north of Torrey Pines -- you could easily combine a visit here with one to Torrey Pines State Reserve. I walked along the beach; there also seemed to be a paved path along the beach, but I'm not sure how long it is. This beach seemed less crowded and more relaxed than Pacific Beach. Just 1-2 blocks inland seems to be a central commercial area with bougie food and shops, which I didn't have time to check out. Parking (paid): I parked on the street by Powerhouse Park, where there is an entry ramp to the beach. I think the cost was $1.50/hour. There is also a parking lot right there that seemed to require payment; not sure of the cost.

Coronado Beach: Coronado Island is a "resort-style town" that is an island right near downtown San Diego. We drove across the infamous Coronado Bridge (note: there is no toll) and over to Coronado Beach. The walk from one end of the beach, at Sunset Park, down to the well-known Hotel del Coronado, was mostly walking along a rock wall separating the sidewalk from the beach. The small downtown area is by the Hotel del Coronado and has some hip-looking restaurants, coffee shops, and various boutiques and chachka shops. It was decently nice. Parking (free): We parked by Sunset Park. There was plenty of free street parking there and all along the beach.

Coronado Beach

HIKES/JOGS/WALKS

Roughly ordered starting with our most-loved.

Pro Tip: One of our Airbnbs had a neat book called "Walking San Diego: Where to Go to Get Away from It All" that listed TONS of walks all around the area.

Sunset Cliffs: This is a trail on the western peninsula known as Point Loma, and it is quite a beautiful place. It feels a bit similar to Half Moon Bay or Rancho Palos Verdes (as does Torrey Pines State Reserve). We saw lots of people walking and running here. Parking (free): There are numerous free lots and street parking by the trail. You can park anywhere and pick up the trail.

Walking along Sunset Cliffs trail in the morning

Ending our walk at surprisingly lush Sunset Cliffs Park

Torrey Pines State Reserve: This struck me as the comparable area to SF's Half Moon Bay or LA's Rancho Palos Verdes. There are several scenic hiking trails on cliffs overlooking the water. It is certainly a very nice place to walk (hiking boots are nice since the trails aren't paved), but if you've already visited Rancho Palos Verdes, you're not missing something hugely different, in my opinion.

Parking (free or up to $25): The reason I say not to worry if you miss it is that the paid parking here can get very pricey (up to $25, it seems to vary based on day of week / time of day) and the free parking can be extremely difficult to find. We initially tried to visit on a weekend and couldn't get a spot, and there was even a very long line for the paid parking. Free parking is available a) ~12 free spots right by the Guy Fleming Trail -- you have to enter the State Reserve, drive up the hill, and find the parking on your right. If you don't get one of those spots, you can use the paid parking lot just a minute further ahead OR try b) numerous free spots right outside the entrance to the State Reserve. But it seems like people like to park there, sit in their cars, and look at the ocean -- i.e., they spend ages there; also if you park here, you have to walk up a fairly steep hill to get to the hiking trails, which I thought was worth it. Restrooms: There are maybe 5 single-stall restrooms, and they seemed very clean on the weekday morning I visited.

Hiking along the Beach Trail

The Embarcadero: This area right on the water, bordering the Gaslamp District, is quite beautiful! It reminded us of NYC's Hudson River Park, though much less crowded, probably because SD has so many other nice places to walk. We found it nicer than SF and Seattle's Embarcaderos. There is a ~2 mile path, starting from the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and ending at the Maritime Museum. We preferred the first (southern) half of the walk as it was far less crowded and commercial, though it does have a cute commercial area called Seaport Village with outdoor dining overlooking the water, a Ben & Jerry's, and clean public restrooms. The northern half of the walk was much more crowded and had many retail shops and stalls, as well as the USS Midway Museum, a retired air force carrier with lots of planes and helicopters on view. Parking (paid): We parked in the Gaslamp District, but it did look like there was quite a bit of closer parking along the Embarcadero. Embarcadero Marina Park South (close to the Hilton) seems like a nice area and Google says it has metered parking. There were also paid lots further north, near the highly commercial areas, that looked likely more expensive.

Mission Bay: This trail was right by our Pacific Beach airbnb and is a gorgeous place to jog right along the water. It's a long trail -- we only traversed a small portion for a brief 3 mile run. More generally, Mission Bay is known to have lots of water sports and activities, too. Parking (free): We parked at Fanuel Street Park, which had a limited number of parking spaces, but there were plenty of other places to park and pick up the trail.

Mission Trails Regional Park: We hiked the loop visiting North Fortuna and South Fortuna Mountains. Although Alltrails calls it 6.2 miles / moderate, my watch clocked 6.8 miles. I would agree it was moderate, but with relentless incline. The terrain wasn't what we had expected -- it was rolling hills with some pretty neat views of the city and Point Loma. We also heard that the Cowles Mountain Hike in the same area is great. Parking (free): We parked on the street near the beginning of the trailhead. Parking was quite packed on a weekend morning around 9 a.m.

On the Fortuna Mountain trail

Lake Murray (La Mesa): This pretty lake was close to our La Mesa airbnb and we found it a great place to jog. The trail is 3 miles out and 3 miles back, paved, and has manageable inclines. Parking (free): There are loads of parking spots inside Lake Murray Park, though they can be hard to come by on a weekend morning.

View of Lake Murray from our neighborhood in La Mesa

Harbor Island (near Embarcadero/Gaslamp): This is a pretty place to walk along the water, though in San Diego there seem to be so many such places! Parking (free): There is plenty of free parking by Harbor Island Park and we enjoyed watching the sailboats here around sunset.

View from Harbor Island trail at sunset

Chollas Lake: This lake was close to our airbnb in Broadway Heights/Lemon Grove (south of La Mesa). The path around the lake is a ~0.75 mile loop of dirt/sand around a small lake, with some mild inclines. There seemed to be lots of elderly people walking there in the morning. It was an adequate place to jog, though we preferred Lake Murray because it was larger, paved, and, in our opinion, more beautiful. Parking (free): There were plenty of parking spots in the parking lot by the lake on a weekday morning.

OTHER TOURISTY STUFF

Gaslamp District: This is part of San Diego's downtown area and lies within 6th Ave to 4th Ave (east-west) and Broadway and E. Harbor Drive (north-south). It is known for being packed with restaurants, bars, and shops. We liked walking through the area, though we also saw quite a bit of homelessness as well as some seedy characters. Our research didn't turn up particularly enticing vegan options here, so we headed just a few minutes east of the Gaslamp, over to Lola 55, for vegan tacos. Parking (paid): Street parking is $1-$1.25/hour, Mon-Sat, 8a-6p, and it looked like most places had a 2-hour max. On a Saturday around 3:30pm we saw plenty of street parking spots near the area. We preferred to park in the Park It On Market public garage, one of a few covered public garages that charge $1/hr from 8a-6p and don't have a time limit. It seemed like prices do shoot up for parking past 6p, so you'd probably want to switch over to free street parking after that time.

Balboa Park: It seems like the northern part of the park is where the tourist attractions and good walks are. We visited the Japanese Friendship Garden ($11pp or free with American Horticultural Society membership) and the Alcazar Gardens and weren't particularly impressed with either. We did not visit the San Diego Zoo. I separately visited Golden Hill Park on the southeast side of the park and was not impressed -- there really isn't any place to walk there. Parking (free): There are a few free parking lots by the touristy areas of the park, but finding parking on a Sunday afternoon was a real pain.

Japanese Garden

Alcazar Garden

Our favorite part of Balboa Park was this (free) desert garden we unexpectedly came across

VEGAN/VEGETARIAN FOOD

Roughly ordered starting with our most-loved.

Vegana Thai (Hillcrest neighborhood) (5/5): The pad kee mao and the curry (we forget which one we got) were both exceptionally tasty. We did takeout, so aren't sure about outdoor seating. Parking: We found a free parking spot right outside the restaurant.

Lola 55 (near The Gaslamp District) (5/5): This was our favorite place for vegan tacos. They have a squash-and-beets taco, a roasted cauliflower taco, and a mushroom taco (in order of my most to least favorite, though they were all fantastic). Plenty of outdoor seating. Parking: Metered street parking, same deal as The Gaslamp. Can also park in the Park It On Market garage and walk ~9 mins to get here.

City Tacos (Chain, with locations in Pacific Beach and La Mesa and others) (5/5): We loved their vegan tacos as well. The mushroom taco and the patatas dish were stellar. The La Mesa location has plenty of outdoor seating; we didn't visit other locations. Parking: Metered street parking outside La Mesa location.

Donna Jean (West of Balboa Park) (5/5): All-vegan. Excellent vegan pizza + beer on a lovely outdoor patio. Right next door to a nice brewery, and 2 mins walk from Extraordinary Desserts. Only complaint is it's very pricey! Parking: Free parking in a small lot right outside Evolution, a drive-thru vegan restaurant right next door to Donna Jean.

Blind Lady Ale House (Normal Heights) (4/5): Solidly good vegan pizza + very good beer. Has a handful of outdoor seating tables for 2. Parking: Free street parking.

Loving Hut (North Park) (4/5): All-vegan. Solidly good garlic noodles + banh mi (they have other Asian fusion-y stuff too). The Thai iced tea with oat milk was delicious. We ordered in so don't know what the location is like.

The Cottage (La Jolla) (4/5): Standard bougie brunch, it was fine but didn't knock our socks off. Plenty of outdoor seating. Parking: Free street parking.

El Carrito (El Barrio - near downtown) (3/5): Authentic Mexican, known for the chilaquiles. It was fine. Authentic Mexican isn't really our think, we learned both in SD and El Paso. Parking: Free street parking.

Chilaquiles at El Carrito

The Yasai (Little Italy) (1/5): All vegan. Sadly, we cannot recommend this place. Our ramen literally had bugs in it. Several, visible bugs. The restaurant customer service was horrible. Enough said.

Desserts

Extraordinary Desserts (West of Balboa Park) (5/5): The best cake ever. We liked the Dulce De Leche. Parking: Free street parking right in front of the store.

Eclipse Chocolate (South Park) (4.5/5): Salted caramel hot chocolate was L.A. Burdicks-level good. The hazelnut chocolate bar ($10) was good but to our undistinguished palates was not very differentiated from Toblerone.

WHERE TO STAY

We’re not experts, but from our exploration and doing 9-14 day stays in 3 different neighborhoods (unexpectedly, due to a few airbnb issues!), these are our thoughts:

(1) By the beach: Getting to live by the water is a huge perk of being in San Diego! We really liked our Airbnb in Pacific Beach and the only reason we left it early was a mouse infestation. It was a good learning that mice apparently can be an issue in San Diego homes near the beach. Other beach areas that were recommended to us were La Jolla, Del Mar, Encinitas, and even Carlsbad (further north). We also thought Point Loma was gorgeous and would be interested in staying there.

(2) The Gaslamp / Embarcadero / “Downtown”: The Gaslamp has a very high concentration of restaurants and the Embarcadero area has beautiful water views. It’s not by the beach, and we saw quite a bit of homelessness in The Gaslamp, but it is central to a lot of nice areas and also seems like a lively area in itself that could be fun to experience. Little Italy is closeby and could perhaps also be nice to stay in.

(3) By Balboa Park: There are a number of neighborhoods surrounding Balboa Park. I walked around North Park briefly and it seemed nice -- the streets had sidewalks and weren’t too hilly (if you like outdoor exercise), there were some restaurants, and it’s also fairly centrally located overall.

(4) La Mesa: Our first Airbnb was in the hills of La Mesa and the neighborhood was pretty luxurious. It’s pretty far east from the beach and was a bit of a drive (15 min+) to get anywhere we wanted to go, including downtown, but it was comfortable to live in. Our third Airbnb was south of La Mesa and while the living space was beautiful, the neighborhood wasn’t as nice and it was still a bit of a drive to get to the beach (though only 10-15 mins to Balboa Park and Downtown). We wouldn’t necessarily seek to stay in this southeastern area again, given the alternative options.

the grace/frankie leap year au, in bullet points - PART ONE

inspired by this morning’s delightful exchange with @ladytharen. it’s cool; no big deal; this mashup is just my soul’s delight and destiny. that’s all!

so, robert goes to dublin for a “business trip” with his longtime business partner/“business partner”, sol. he tells grace that there’s something important he wants to talk to her about when he gets back.

grace figures it’s something to do with their marriage, because everyone they know keeps getting divorced and they’re living in a cloud of marital uncertainty. well, grace isn’t having that! grace is going to be the most socially acceptable married person in the history of the world! grace, who has already obviously lost at marriage, is determined to look like she has WON at marriage more than anyone else she knows!!!!

she especially wants to beat her terrible friend janet with the dog, whose marriage is flourishing but who keeps making catty remarks about grace and robert seeming like they’re on the rocks, so grace tells janet that she and robert are, in fact, having a fancy vow renewal party. soon. very soon. in your (puss) face, janet!

... but this means, of course, that grace has to actually run the whole vow renewal thing by robert, and it isn’t the sort of thing one does over the phone.

so she takes an impromptu trip to ireland! to re-propose to her husband who she doesn’t really like being married to at all!

but weather troubles mean she winds up stuck in a quaint little weirdo of an irish seaside village

and she needs to get to dublin to see robert before he leaves! and reiterate that they are shackled to each other until death!!! er, that is, re-propose! really romantic stuff!

and then

in the first quaint lil’ pub-slash-inn she wanders into to get out of the rain

she gazes around,

rolls her eyes (it is not at all a cosmopolitan situation),

and then!

a certain magnificent head of brown-gray curls catches her attention ...

oh, but it can’t be -- and yet it looks just like ...

her old nemesis!!!!

frankie bergstein, ex-wife of robert’s business partner (/”business partner”) sol bergstein! frankie and sol got divorced a few years ago, and it was a big shock to everyone at the time because they seemed so in love, and there was never really an explanation for why such a terrible thing happened to such a seemingly happy couple. frankie very soon after disappeared from la jolla, deciding to travel the world and reawaken her muse.

but now here frankie is, sitting at an easel in the middle of this wee irish pub/inn, painting a portrait of a pair of drunk irish dudes like it’s a totally normal thing to be doing in the random tiny village in a foreign country that grace has found herself stuck in.

“oh god,” says grace, who is living her Worst Nightmare

“oh god,” says frankie, who so is not in the mood for any reminders about her married life, but especially not this reminder

grace immediately offers copious amounts of money to anyone in the pub who can drive her to dublin. if one of them winds up being a serial killer, so be it! she’s had a good life! well, she’s had a ... life.

but then the only person

who volunteers to drive her

is the one sober (if slightly baked) person in the place:

FRANCES BERGSTEIN

“no,” says grace desperately. “somebody, anybody else! i’ll give you five thousand dollars, euros, whatever--” she starts digging in her purse.

“it’s ireland, grace,” frankie says. “everyone’s drunk. you of all people should get it.”

“that can’t possibly be how ireland works,” grace says.

“five thousand dollars-euros-whatever, you said?” says frankie, suddenly interested.

after all, the adorable little seaside cottage/artist’s studio she’s been renting for the past few months isn’t exactly paying for itself

and wandering around the world to recover from your sudden unexpected divorce because your beloved husband told you he’d been having a decades-long affair with his male business partner and he couldn’t stand the lying anymore but you could not under any circumstances, under any circumstances!!!, tell said business partner’s wife, because robert needed to do that in his own time, and suddenly you seemed to run into grace hanson everywhere (”you dare to come here, to my own turf? WHY??” frankie might have shouted upon bumping into grace at the farmer’s market out of sheer panic, causing grace to in turn hate her even more), and even though she’d always driven you nuts, your conscience couldn’t bear the weight of keeping this terrible secret from her, so the only possible solution was to flee the country??????

well, it ain’t cheap

"five thousand smackeroos,” muses frankie. “tell you what: i’ll take that offer.”

“the offer wasn’t for you,” grace says. “you’re exempt from that offer.”

“so you’re gonna hold out for another chauffeur?” frankie asks saucily.

grace surveys the pub. somebody falls off a bar stool, rolls with that new development, and starts napping on the floor.

the terrible truth of what she must do dawns on her.

“oh, fine,” she caves. “let’s go. but that five thousand dollars--”

“euros,” corrects frankie.

“that’s less,” points out grace.

“dollars is fine,” frankie says magnanimously.

“--means we are driving to dublin in absolute silence.”

“i can do that,” frankie says. she basically has dollar signs in her eyeballs.

“oh, you cannot,” grace snaps.

“can too.”

“cannot.”

“can too.”

“cannot.”

etc., etc., while they are getting into the clunky old death trap of a car that frankie traded two paintings and a tibetan throat singing lesson for

“change of plans,” says grace when they are settled in, once she’s really taken in the vehicle’s general vibe and atmosphere. “drive me off the next bridge we pass.”

“you got it, sister,” says frankie, and pushes in her one cassette tape. the fine song stylings of the sex pistols start blaring through the car, and really, the whole village.

grace sighs a sigh with all the world’s irritated exhaustion in it.

the beautiful irish landscape begins to roll by! our heroines are en route to dublin! probably the diegetic sex pistols yowling fades into extradiegetic merry fiddle music or something to set the rustic mood!

... but can a car you got for two paintings (albeit exquisite ones) and a tibetan throat singing lesson really be trusted to get you all the way to dublin?

to be continued!!!!!
