This will be a hella short post and will not be formatted as it usually is for the simple fact that I’ll be writing on a borrowed computer.
Yesterday, as pretty much all the days hanging out with jb have been down here, was hella fun. We went to get a murland traditional feast meal thing, steamed crabs. Jesus christo, I ate more crab than I have ever eaten before. I actually got to the point where if I had eaten anymore, I might honestly have barfed.
before we ate
But goddamn was it good. Pricey, but good. And old bay is the strangest flavour I have ever had in my life, but it ain’t bad. It actually grows on yu, like mold. Or a girlfriend with a really high voice. But honestly, I had a lot of fun eating a lot of crabs… though I kinda wish I went to the restaurant dirty dick’s… because apparently their motto is “I got my crabs at dirty dicks.”
after we ate
But it was in the drive over to harris’ and back that got me really thinking. You gotta remember, I was already hopped up on benadryl at the time, so I wanted to crash out… but jb turned the music up, bumped the hard rock, opened te windows and proved to me that it could actually be awesome to drive. You gotta understand, I hate, hate, hate cars. I don’t like driving. I hate the concept of it. but I will admit, there is a visceral joy in driving fast down the highway with your radio blasting the right music. What a goddamn great experience. One of many so far, and hopefully one of many more.
so pretty, my camera does no justice
Afterwards we went back to annapolis to kick it and drink, as per usual. I really don’t have much to say about this segment of the night, except that naptown folks are hella friend. Also, drink jim weed. It’s this awersome sauce sweet tea flavoured vodka. If we had it up north, I would honestly be drunk 99% of the time, it’s that good. And if you stop down here, stop by Dock Street Bar, which is a hella excellent crab cake establishment with friendly bartenders.
Now, as I’m writing this from the baltimore zen center, I felt like I should shout them out. My friend jb is one of the teachers here and it’s a great place. Welcoming, homey and offering a variety of classes from meditation to martial arts. If you’re interested in buddhist zen meditation or to learn martial arts, you should check them out.
