At a house show, trying to make a quick exit: "Lemme use the bathroom, it'll take one minute, I'll be back and we can leave."
I end up waiting maybe fifteen minutes outside the bathroom. I am the only one waiting and hear strange rustling noises from inside. He's either doing drugs or having sex in there, I thought. Thinking it was drugs, I decided to knock to let him know someone was waiting for the room.

I knocked.
"Come in!" he said.

Uh.

I eventually did go in, only to find some guy with top off the toilet tank, trying desperately to "fix it". He took a plastic goose statue and stuck its beak into the shower-curtain-ring device to prevent the tank with filling with water.

"Water keeps coming in!" he cried to me. "It's going to overflow!"
"No no, that's how a toilet works. The tank has to fill in order to flush."

This dude thought that it was broken because water was coming in.
"Haven't you ever fixed a toilet in your life?"
"Uhmmmm.... I guess not," he said.

So in the end he was trying to prevent the toilet from filling with water, which is what it needed to work. Weird all around.

old memory
being in serbia
laying in the guest room in natalija's house with w.
110 degrees
one of us trying to get cute and cuddle
"get the fuck off me"
no touching in bed, covered in a constant layer of sweat, laying there naked spread out like we're doing jumping jacks
taking 5 quick showers a day in freezing water
someone sneezing in the bathroom
someone on the patio saying "bless you!" in serbian
and then you wonder what else they heard.
