Weekend to-do list:
1. Fill out absentee ballot (I'm going to drop it off on Tuesday since there's no time to mail it)
2. Work on animation (my character pushing an immovable box)
3. Revise storyboards for animation club
4. Make drawings for storyboard class
5. Have fun on Halloween!

The week after that, the official holiday season for Starbucks starts. I've been chosen to be a "red apron barista" where I will pass out samples of the holiday pastries and drinks and chat with the customers for an hour during my shifts. Sounds cool.

All the homeless around the Promenade is reminding me of Berkeley again. And the years since which has softened the scar tissue around my heart is re-toughening when they become so brazen with panhandling, theft, and down-right being a nusiance. I mean, that cup of coffee was offered for free as a kind gesture on a rainy day... and you've got the nerve to ask for a refill?

The other day, a kid tried to steal our tip jar. The nerve! It's bad enough when kids ask their parents if they can have our tip jar (like we're giving it away), but geez.... What can I say? City-living requires more cynicism and a pessimistic view of humanity.
