i was actually expecting saturday night, which i'm just waking up from now, to be an inexpensive evening. i didn't get home until 10:00 am.

the bar i was at had the sole option of over-priced gluten-free* beer (it was at least tasty.), but i wasn't about to accept the doldrums of sobriety, so i ate the unexpected cost and come home with $3.00 instead of $30.00. but, that's a disincentive around the bar, to say the least. the way i deal with this when i run into it is to pay out the first time and then take it as a learning experience: it's a place you want to pre-drink for, and then show up to as late as possible.

i wasn't going to have a lot of money for the rest of the month anyways, but there's now no chance of hitting adrian belew on wednesday. i'm planning for the weekend instead.

that's ok. there's lots of things i should do this week, including doing a lot of walking around outside. it's the first week of summer....

* according to the fine print on the can, (1) the company cannot guarantee that the beer is gluten free, (2) the product may contain gluten and (3) the product does, in fact, contain gluten.
