California Desert Party

“jist merry hur” (“just marry her”) 
- a man to David, en route to Glasgow Green. 

On the way back, in the same place, there were a couple of guys sitting shirtless on deckchairs drinking on an island in the middle of the road. Just seconds after we passed them, we passed a man singing to himself pretty loudly. He walked behind us for a bit afterwards and we lacked the self restraint required not to laugh.
Then we went to the shop(s) to buy some snacks for Moonrise Kingdom which was very very good. 
That was yesterday.

Today we made some (more) joint purchases: a football, a(nother) frisbee and five (more) DVDs. We played with the frisbee and the football and then we went to the basketball hoop and the football became a basketball. 
At the basketball hoop, we played H-O-R-S-E and I won the first game (David would say I cheated, but I didn’t) and David won the second.

Yesterday was a good weather day and a good news day, a good company day and a good food day (pancakes, ice-cream with the nicest sprinkles, Fanta lemon, Magic Stars and Koka noodles.)

We were in town yesterday boy pants shopping (for David) and we heard a lot of builders doing a lot of shouting. We speculated as to what they might be shouting at, thinking it was probably the frighteningly long line of Saturdays fans outside HMV, and then we saw him: ‘Jesus Man’ (so named because he wore a jacket with the phrase ‘Jesus says I have the death keys’ on it whilst waving a sign which read ‘JESUS’ above his head and singing ‘Jesus Christ Superstar’.) We followed Jesus Man as he slowly made his way along the entire Saturdays queue, singing and waving his sign at nine year old girls whilst they recorded him on their mobiles.

“There’s nothing I love more than a crazy person with a sign” - David
