More luggage lightening.

I lost things of sentimental value again (montage set to Leanne Rhymes "How do I live without you" or Barry White's "My First, My Last, My Everything" below). I had my Spaulding Polyester Jacket and my swix ski gloves stolen. I bought the Jacket in Australian a while back, and it made me feel cool. Now I will have to rely on my Patagonia Fleece.. which we all know is Social Suicide. On a less important scale, the gloves were about 6 years old and had yet to fully mature.

My Jacket, along with my friend's Jacket were taken from a Bar last night. Christy's jacket contained a her camera and credit card, which is infinitely worse than the items I lost in my jacket.

Items such as a camera and/or credit card are quite common at a bar establishment. What isn't as typical are the items I had in my pockets while visiting the bar/nightclub last night. In my left pocket was my ear plugs, Bolivian coins and a half-roll of toilet paper, and in my right pocket was my gloves and my headlamp.

I wonder what the thief was thinking when he rummaged through my jacket pockets... "Sooo.. I just robbed this guy who definitely frequents nightclubs as evidenced by the coolness of his nifty jacket, but apparently he thinks the music is too loud, doesn't trust the supplied single-ply TP and clearly thinks the level of light is inadequate.. Weird. Oh well, I guess I should get back to my video game and being the miserable piece of shit that I am... MAAAM.. MEATLOAF!!!

I am obviously pissed about losing my stuff, but I feel worse for Christy. If there was ever a bright side to having my camera stolen in Peru, it is that it CAN'T be stolen again in Argentina.

One other note from the evening: The rock band at the nightclub was pretty good, and the English lady we were hanging out with asked them upwards of 8 times (in complete seriousness) if they would play a Britney Spears song. It was kind of like a drunk chick asking Pearl Jam to do a bang-up rendition of "My heart will go on" by Celine Deon.

RIP Blue, Blue and White Spaulding Jacket. 2002-2006 (Cue Barry or Leanne..... now.)
