Based on my documentation, I can tell you the rest of October was full of delicious food and a lot of fun. I mean I was still sad most days. We were still sharing an apartment, although XBFJ didn't always sleep there. I did make it a point to ask him not to bring bed bugs from his secret location to my couch, and it appears he obliged. I still worried about his drinking and if he was safe at night. He told me he slept at hostels. But he had also become a bit of a liar so take that as you will.

Someone left a Flounder hat type thing on a desk. My best guess tells me it was from Disney on Ice. But I suppose it could have been part of a promotional package as well. Either way, I got my hands on it. If I had seen the rightful owner, I would have asked to keep it. Flounder was sitting there being entirely unappreciated. He made me smile, even before I put him on my head and took a picture. I would wear Flounder often, despite my dislike of The Little Mermaid. That's right. A cartoon I dislike. You might not have thought it possible. It brings me no pleasure to dislike The Little Mermaid, but I am bound by my conviction.


The San Francisco Giants got into the World Series. The city turned orange and black and friendly. The mood was infectious. It was unifying. People were happy. People were nervous. I was under dressed. I had no Giants gear to wear, and I felt like people were judging. I thought to get something cheap in Chinatown but was lectured out of it. A coworker told me buying knock off items puts money in the pockets of terrorists. How could I argue with that?

27 October

28 October
This day was particularly delicious. While walking toward a reading spot in the Ferry Building, someone handed me free humus. A few feet further and I got a free cup of coffee. I pocketed the humus, grabbed the coffee and went to Cowgirl Creamery for a yogurt bowl containing persimmons, pomegranate seeds and walnuts. It was fantastic, and of course purchased at the suggestion of XBFJ. Having him know things I'll like before me was and is more than a little annoying. But I'm working on beating him to the punch.
"October the month" finished with more cupcakes, for no reason at all. And then it was time for "Halloween, the weekend."
