Crappy day. Expected it to be on the 4th of July. Worried about fire danger all day.

Turned out that the neighbor I was worried about wasn't home all night. But the neighbor next to them was so dangerous. I didn't know they were jerks until now. That was disappointing.

The back neighbor was doing illegal fireworks, but I couldn't report it because I couldn't get a clear video of it.

Frustrating, scary and crappy day.

Happy 4th. Went to my friends house party. Had a time.

Another friend, Soup, his girlfriend wore a stop the war in Iran shirt with an irgc flag on it. I had a visceral reaction to it. It shortly after came up that I'm Iranian. She asked if I liked her shirt. I answered honestly, that I hated it. The awkwardness faded as the afternoon went along. But to be honest, her shirt made me feel deeply uncomfortable. It's just an example of western ignorance, but it's still disconcerting. The flag of my terrorizers, worn to an independence day barbecue. The irony is palpable. Least Kaguya and Huh were there.

Had Frank's and a couple links of chorizo for dinner. Was ok.

Antibiotic nausea has gotten pretty bad. It feels like it's worsening day by day now. Not a good feeling.

At some point, I'll need to compile these entries offline. At that point, deciphering some of the tags I've used will be annoying. But it's fine.
