Yesterday, i was standing outside The Habit (a burger place) waiting for my friend to meet me for lunch. This guy walks up to me and says, "You know, South Americans are brown but people don't know that South Africans are black." Had i been more quick to process what he said, i would've done something intelligent like engage him and ask "whatever do you mean, sir?" or at least make a smart remark like, "well that bit of nonsensical wisdom just made my day!" Instead, i smiled awkwardly and said, "oh" and he walked away. i am still puzzled by the situation. He didn't come off as mentally ill or sleazy, and he was a solitary older man (meaning it wasn't some teenage boy trying to be funny and random in front of his friends). He just leisurely walked up to me and made this strange comment with a calm and knowing look, like he was sharing a great pearl of wisdom or something. shrug.

In other news i went to the north San Diego County area today to see my not-anymore-roommate and my sister-in-law's sister and her family, who are visiting from England. Little kids with British accents are too cute. It was such a beautiful day too, and i must once again affirm that San Diego beaches are THE best beaches in southern California. The water is warm and clean, and there aren't inordinate amounts of rocks or seaweed. i think i'm going to add SD beaches to my list of current favorite things...
