A concert

So far I've been to three concerts in three weeks, which isn't bad, but only one of them has been really weird.  I could have gone to one of two interesting ones last night, but instead I was seeing off my friend Chris, who managed to pack two years of stuff in the three hours between 2:30 and 5:30 am, and who had to do that in part because he had spent two hours going around town to three different stores buying 27 chocolate bars (most of them weighing in at a hefty 50 grams and costing at least 3 euros each), because he knew what stores had what brands cheapest (I just followed him around taking notes).  At one of the stores he got a handful of free samples, because they know him, and in fact apparently if it hadn't been so hot that the hot chocolate station wasn't open, they would have started making his without his having to order one.  Then we had a fantastic meal, went to a cafe specializing in hot chocolate, then to a bar called Scotch and Sofa where we met two other of his friends, then we all went back to his apartment to help pack and take some of his detritus (in my case, Goethe's Faust, Jelinek's Die Klavierspielerin, a German-Finnish dictionary, condoms for some reason, and a pair of scissors).

condoms for some reason

To fuck the clowns, obvs.

[bitchphd]

Or possibly to fuck the chocolate.

[Immanuel Kant]

Or to fuck the condoms.

[bitchphd]

What about filling the condoms with chocolate?

[Becks]

I would think condoms would fall into that category of "things better to buy new than procure second-hand".

[ben wolfson]

I didn't procure them, they were foisted on me.

I have now, though, been to four concerts, having seen these fellows play three sets last night.

Note to self: when sleeping with Ben, make sure and ask if he's using new condoms or second-hand ones.

[ben wolfson]

A little late for notes, don't you think?

[bitchphd]

I seem to remember being told that you'd purchased new condoms only the night before. Naturally, I assumed that those would be the ones you would have been employing.

Obviously, I should have known better than to make inferences when dealing with the literal-minded. That'll teach me.

[ben wolfson]

Yeah, those condoms were for people I care about.

[bitchphd]

Oh, NOW you tell me. Well, whatever: I'm far more likely to be a disease-ridden skank than you are, anyway.

[ben wolfson]

The story of my life.

[bitchphd]

I shall have to read this later. However, briefly:

The more she rejects me, the more I want to be with her.

Why do you think I reject you?

And the more I want to be with her, the more intent she becomes that I stay away.

Not at all. I just have figured out your psyche. It breaks my heart to have to keep you at arm's length, but what must be, must be.

[bitchphd]

Okay, that's a depressing story.

[Becks]

That was an amazing story.
