I have an obsession with the word toast.

Bonne chance . buena suerte . good luck

I saw this guy in Second Story today who I saw the last time I was there as well. He smiled at me. He plugs in his laptop and sits down with a pot of tea and a giant thesarus. I think he must be a writer of some kind, he likes to observe.

Really, he meant "my life".

The top line with the good luck bit if me wishing people good luck on their exams. The first two sentences should be self-explanitory. In the third sentence, "He plugs in his laptop and sits down with a pot of tea and a giant thesarus," I switched the tense because I was describing what he did on both days that I saw him. I suppose I could have said, "He plugged in his laptop and sat down with a pot of tea and a giant thesaurus. He also did this on the first day that I saw him." The fourth sentence agrees with the first and second. The last sentence refers to someone entirely different.

I hope that clears things up. If not, I apologize.
