Yesterday I made the hour+ drive up to Carpinteria for the 2006 Annual Avocado Festival. Carpinteria is basically a typical california beach community, meaning sunny, sleepy, and beachy. Avocado festival was very informative. I learned there is a Bacon avocado, and that avocado does not taste good with everything (as I had previously believed). Food ingested at this event included: Chips and guacamole, Steak and guacamole sandwhich, avocado ice cream, and beer (no avocado in the beer). I sat through some of an avocado auction where I saw a guy pay $45 for a giant sized avocado, and saw some local bands. I also saw the departed this weekend which I thought was good, all the actors are strong and fun to watch so I don't care if Nickelson can't really do an irish or boston accent, or if leonardo dicaprio can not really look badass. I recommend seeing the chinese original "Infernal Affairs" if people like this movie. Been spending a lot of time at the jobs. I learned at the bookstore recently if a homeless man who has a pungent smell walks into your store, the respectful thing to do is not kick them out, but wait until their back is turned and spray them down with airfreshner. You never know when a homeless guy just happens to actually be a lazy customer who pays in $100 bills.
