In which I meet Jessica's friends right before they leave to go to college

I had an interesting day. As soon as I woke up this morning my dad calls me to tell me that he's ready to pick his moped up from getting repairs. This leads to me trying to half-ass my way through a conversation on automobiles with the lady at the store in my crappy CSI shirt with the giant hole that I've had since 7th grade. I figured I could just chill in my car, but no, I had to go in with dad looking like I just rolled out of bed. Which I did, but anyway.
Then there's a couple of hours where I listen to this song repeatedly, then get ready to go to Jessica's birthday linner at Iguana Mia's, where I haven't been since I was a small child. I had a lovely time there, seeing Austin for the second time, Sarah for the first, and learning that Jessica was punished with exercise if she got a math problem wrong. This made me lol.
Then as I drove home, this song played on the radio, which pretty much cemented me into a Beirut mood, and I've been listening to his albums on Grooveshark ever since. The Flying Club Cup and the Gulag Orkestar are such beautiful albums that put me in a French cafe in the fall and everything is so pretty and calm and emotional and I just have a lot of feelings okay ;_;
