112202 #human #trout While I was in the bathroom, Sruky tried to steal my computer! I said "hey what's up" to him when I came upstairs. He's seen me here and other places enough to know I always have the computer in my backpack. I set it down on a chair by a table, and went in the bathroom, just to wash my hands and face. When i came back out, the backpack and Sruky were gone. I heard fast clomping on the stairs! I scrambled downstairs after him and just saw him flying out the front door. I almost knocked over the sommelier on my way through the bar. I caught Sruky at the corner and tackled him on the pavement. "Sruky! What the fuck were you thinking!" I said and I actually started laughing. The wind in my lungs and the buzz in my feet felt good. Sruky said, "Oho, itv aya den soh blem!" and as usual I couldn't understand a word of it. I pulled the backpack out of his gravelly hands and helped him up, and we walked back up the street together. What a day. What a way to end a day. Or begin a night, which is hopefully what I'm doing.... I haven't had a night in such a long time.
