Zach and I are drinking, and then we go to a funeral at a large church. Vida and Noah are there, and so are a lot of other people. Then everyone is dancing the tango. Afterwords I leave, and go to the Dexter house. Suzie and Shari are cleaning after the service. There's a boy Graeme's age who has hypothermia and Sheri is caring for him. Then there's this girl Graeme knows who lays with the boy.
Next we are in this large auditorium full of young people. Everyone's waiting for a movie to start. I have something in my hands and I ask the person in the row in front of me, in Spanish, if they need it. On my way out, someone makes an "oh la la" comment, and I retort that it's time to learn another language. I work my way back through the city to Zack's place. I have this dense chocolate ball that I don't want. We are at a 7-11 and I slyly drop it on the floor and continue shopping. The sales lady comes over and asks me to pick up my trash. She and I have words; she's timid, but persistent and in the end I pick it up.
