At 3:30pm Flip and I caught the bus to SoCo (south county) Mall and hung around there for awhile. Train didn't come because he wanted to have some alone time to get some of his art done, he never really has a lot of time to while I'm there, because we're always out doing things together. Flip got picked up by his mum at 5pm and I stayed there a little longer just looking around and things, it's a really big mall and it has like, 3 stories in it. There were a lot of people at this one, not like Crestwood Plaza where we went the other day, which was completely dead.
I caught the bus home at 5:50pm and it was getting really dark by then. It was -9C when I left home with Flip at 3:30pm, now it's -13C; I'm glad I'm inside and warm. I got off the bus, and Train was supposed to meet me, but he wasn't there so I walked home by myself. He wasn't at home either, so I called him on his cellphone- he'd walked a different way to the bus stop and we'd missed each other. He had loaned me his big long woolen coat, too, so he was freezing by the time he got home :(
I made him some hot cocoa to make up for it.
We're going to the bank tomorrow, I'm going to transfer some money tonight across onto my cards; I was meant to do it before I left NZ, but I guess it doesn't really matter because I can do everything online anyway, for free.
We made good friends with B and Peach (Bridget and Ben) and we're going to hang out with them lots- they said they'd take us around to all the cool places in St Louis :)
They're friends with the owners of this cool record store in south city called Apop Records, which has a lot of local art/music/zines and things, and a lot of the more obscure and hard to find media, so that should be cool.
There aren't many good shows on at the moment, because it's winter and christmas next week and all, but we're going to try to find some good ones to go to after that. I think there are a few coming up around mid January sometime.
