well, i made $2.10 busking this afternoon, from about 4:30 to about 7:30. but, i bought an extra large coffee....for $2.10.

i was parked outside a closed bank. it was probably the worst time of day.

i was going to go out tomorrow, but it's going to be raining. it's a tuesday night. i'm still probably better off charging and going back out for the night. yeah...

the charge on my mp3 player died a lot sooner than i thought, actually. it should have been more like five hours. i'm not sure what's up with that. but, i bought it in....2007? it's old. the flash drive will eventually die. i'm not sure if the charger will eventually fail.

i just don't want to sell any more cds, dammit.

and, the truth is that i enjoyed it, too. i said to myself walking out that there's worse things i could do on a nice tuesday afternoon than hang out and play guitar. and now i'm actually keen to go back out.

if i can get a third or a half of the way there, i'll feel better about selling a few discs. and, i think i can take this one day at a time, even. the best night is friday, but it's also the most expensive....ugh...

if the bank messes up due to the holiday on monday, and it might, i'll know on friday morning. if so, i could even only need to worry about thursday. and if the weather is shit, i could just be saving money up.

the property owners informed me this morning that the upstairs tenants (the smokers...) are moving out, so i would be unlikely to enforce any settlement in my favour, if it comes, unless it's the $89 worth of costs i put down. and, that would cover thursday and then some.

there's paths.

i know they're all remote...

if i can pull in $20 overnight, i have a chance to make it work. maybe the pawn shop will take the dvd player for $10. i can try. i don't know how long it needs to charge, but i hope i'm back out by 10:30. if i can do 11:00-2:30 that's the best chance i've got.
