Fuzzy Dice By Wexel Pixel in Wexel Pixel's Diary Sun Apr 17, 2016 at 12:55:28 PM EST Tags: Toothless Gumjobs, Character Assassination (all tags)
	When I got to Pismo Beach, I got off the bus and started walking towards the beach, when a hippy chick asked me if I wanted a lift. I wasn't hitchhiking; she just figured I would as from that particular bus stop it was a long way to the beach. She had fuzzy dice hanging from her rear-view mirror.  I pointed at them and smiled.  She took them off the mirror then gave them to me. "This is as far as I can take you," she said.  I'd continued walking less than a minute when another hippy chick offered me a lift, then took me all the way to Oceano State Beach. I tied the fuzzy dice to my briefcase, then after the zipper broke, to my backpack. I tell people, "If you have fuzzy dice, you can go anywhere."

I had decided not to sing on the street until I learned some new material.  I'm going to sing today though, as I spent some of my shelter money on coffee. I had the impression that I was getting less tips than before.  Maybe it's just that I wasn't so persistent.  The shelter costs five dollars per night; I can easily raise five dollars per day by singing. I've been thinking of selling my plasma.  It would pay enough for both the shelter and for coffee.  My precious bodily fluids could be used to save human lives. There is a foot race going by on Broadway, just outside where I'm sitting at Peets.  I saw the guy that was in the lead, running all by himself, then a long pause, then lots of runners who are nowhere near winning the race. A man and a woman just ran by, each carrying an American flag. Cityteam doesn't serve meals on Sundays.  I planned at first to eat a microwave burrito for breakfast, but then chose to eat at the Portland Rescue Mission.  I'm hungry again, when I leave Peets I expect I'll get that burrito. When I get my apartment, I won't have any furniture.  I have a few things in my storage locker, a chair, some pots and pans and dishes, and my keyboard, keyboard stand and amplifier. I'm really looking forward to cooking for myself.  And yes I still plan to go vegan.  I once had the Rosicrucian Cookbook; it's all vegan dishes.  Rather plain but nutritious. I really like spicy food.  Hot peppers go a long ways toward making vegan food appealing. I have - sort of - solved the problem of what to do with my coat on hot days.  There is a handle on the top of my backpack; I put one coat sleeve through the handle, then tie it to the other.  I'm not completely happy with this as I worry that the coat will fall off, but really I need not worry as the knot is secure. I have long grown weary of microwave burritos, but they are the best deal for nutritious, hot food at the convenience stores around here. I have an idea for a windows utility that I could write, that many would find useful.  It's such a simple thing that I don't think anyone would pay money for it, but it could draw some organic links.  It would be a good way to get back into the practice of programming. All of my photographs are in storage in Canada.  I'm quite a good photographer.  Sometimes I puzzle over making a coffee-table book.  Or perhaps I could make enlargements then sell prints at one of the galleries here in Portland.
