About Sewage

Yes, yes. Everybody and their mother calls someone named Susan "Sewage" at some point and thinks its funny. And then there's Suey (hog call). Ok, that one is maybe kind of funny.

But I digress.

Heleman Halls during my freshman year was a veritable cornucopia of bland slather. It was boring, I tell you. Which explains why I have a dozen or more pictures of me alone or occasionally with other people up in trees in the parking lot. What the crap was I doing? I have no freaking idea. But someone who was always entertaining was Sue Brady. She sometimes had the funky hair that reminded me of Thomas Dolby or the chick from Thompson Twins, but she got over that by our sophomore year. I loved it when I came across Sue during dinner in the Cannon Center, because there was always some peculiar story to be told, or some complex analysis of somebody's lack of fashion sense.

So....about this picture, taken winter semester of our second year. Susan lived close to Raintree at some dump of an apartment (although not as much of a dump as Raintree) across from Reams or something, and called one day -- bored and looking for something to do. I can't for the life of me remember anything about this day except that I borrowed Astrid's scooter, as always, and we met up near her place. On the side of the road we found a couple peculiar snow sculptures, and Sue just really wanted her picture taken next to one. But I don't think I ever gave her a copy of the pic. Thinking back, I'm not even sure why I had the camera in the first place. Man, my memory sucks. (except when it comes to really bad 80's music trivia)

My family had dinner about a week ago over at Sue's place in Concord, CA. She and her husband Chris and their two kids just moved up to the Bay Area from SoCal. I was so excited to finally have them up here close to me -- they've been here a month, and now I'm moving out of state. I guess that's how it works. She made this freaky watermelon lime drink which tasted suspiciously like a lime bloody mary mix. But I liked it. We called it 'bloody melon'. Mmmm, yummy.
