Welcome to the Bip Report.
"The Responses"
Basically, people in Cal who have read the letter have said, "Don't do it." The general consensus in responses has been, "Hey, still do it. He's a bastard. As such, he is tricky and coniving. This is a trick." I think things will have to be solved on a basis of see what happens next. Nonetheless, I say I need some duct tape around, simply because I need it to pack up when I move. Right?
"SF"
So we went to SF again today. I got some gifts for people. This and that. You know.
"Lady Outside the Gap"
There was some crazy woman outside Gap with a sign reading "Gap Guts Redwoods." At first, I dismissed her simply as crazy, mostly because she bared a very close resemblance to the crazy lady in Berkeley whom I hate. But as I waited and waited and waited for everyone on the little couch thing, I was thinking about what she was saying. It sort of made sense to me. We probably shouldn't be supporting a store that cuts down redwood land. My question is, "Why would Gap cut this land down? What are they doing with it?" I don't know what sort of things Gap needs to make stuff. So I don't know. But as I thought about it, she made more and more sense. When we left, she didn't look too crazy anymore.
But I don't know. What are you going to do? Never shop at Gap? It will still make money, and there are millions of companies such as this, that do such things. Well not millions, but you know. A lot. A grip lode. But really, nothing can be done about it for now. The only thing that can be done is a) some sort of legislation against this sort of behavior, but that won't happen because of lobbyists and whatnot. Or b) when we're in charge of the world, we don't do this sort of thing. But by then it's too late. It's a bleak outlook. I don't know what this means though. Vote Democrat? They're liberal, and more likely to enact such things. I don't know. I think the only way to stop it is through violent revolt. But there are quite a few problems with this as well, aren't there? Yes. So no answer I guess.
"Hot Pot City"
We came back, and we ate at Hot Pot City. More or less a celebration of end of school. How is the Hot Pot City setup? Yakiniku buffet style? Yes indeed. Also, ice cream, except there are no scoops for the ice cream, but rather the spatulas that are used for making pints, quarts, and the dreaded half gallon, as well as for scraping tubs. But on to the food.
We are unsure who won . I held back ever so slightly, so as to be able to walk home. But everyone did, I think. We feel that Greg was the winner. Winner for dessert was Mariel. I say I get overall second. However, I don't know how much Carey and Reese ate. I figure I outate the girls, as Mariel stopped halfway through to eat ice cream, and then never ate anything after. I believe I scored some points with the bacon piece. This was no ordinary bacon. It was a bacon that was all fat. There was no meat on the thing. It was pure fat. It curled up on itself when I cooked it. It was such as the bacon Johnny had on Maui, that he refused to eat, and which Peacock ate for him. Pure fat. So I got points for eating that. I had a whole load of ice cream. Enough to enact the end of Titanic, with the ice cream being the ice berg, and various things being the characters. I gave some of the ice cream away, but in retrospect, I probably could have ate all the ice cream. But it's probably best that I didn't.
All in all, a satisfying meal.
"Crazy"
And then I became delirious. After much delirious activity, we headed home. Delerious activity lasted for like two hours. It was cruising, yet crazy like, since we are all sleepy. I extended the use of cotton to levels never before seen.
Okay then. Until next time, diamonds are forever, and so is sleep.
