aged to perfection

hello to all. sorry for being oh so very MIA. the past weekend has been chaos, with more to follow in the upcoming week.

Seeeester:
my sister, beth, is here (currently sitting next to me in cafe) - and i am SOOOO GLAAAAD THAT SHE IS HEEEERE. geez. i never get to hang out with her - amidst her school and my wandering around and neither of us ever being at my parents house.

we've been exploring the city a lot, and wearing ourselves out in the process. i can only hope she's having a good time here.

my poor sister has had the quintessential sf experience: homeless people wandering into art galleries asking if this was really a porn house, more homeless people being really pushy for change, meeting my crazy friends and dramatic weather changes every 34 minutes.

Unrelated and Amusing True Life Tale:
yesterday afternoon, i was standing outside of a cafe talking to a new daddy about his super cute newborn baby girl. the new daddy owned an suv of a stroller, which took up a lot of the sidewalk space - with his baby girl inside. as we were chatting, a super old osteorporsisohis style man came hobbling along with his daughter, who was assisting him via arm-hold. aaaaahhaha - so as the man passed by, he kicked the shit out of the stroller - growling and grumbling as he passed. (seriously, i've never seen anyone put so much effort forth in a kick before, and i played soccer). his daughter immediately goes, "dad!! there's a baby inside of there!" he was immediately apologetic to the new daddy - oh i'm sorry im so sorry! - but then turns to me and goes, "well dammit, it was in my f*ckin' way." aaaaaaaahahhah -

the new daddy was super kind about it - we just laughed and stared with disbelief at each other with huge grins on our faces. why are old people so awesome.

Mario = Hearts
a bloggish shout out to mario who sent me a freaking mix-tape last week, unexpected-style. and it's totally lovely. yeeees. mario: thank you and payback will be super sweet. i'm thinking of you over the next few weeks.

In Summation
i have done, like, no work in the previous 5 days - and won't get anything done in the next five. ha - the aftermath is going to be disgusting.

more soon. considering strep last week, subsequent heaps of work and visitors galore, i really hope i can actually keep my brain intact this week. beth and luciano and christiano (they're people. i can't keep calling them "the italians" for the love) have a night of overlap - and i have to work this week so help me. hope all is well - jen.

  • oh, I am glad you got it and enjoy it. music is so subjective... I still enjoy the cds you've given me; I took two for our drive to Chicago.

    God, if somebody kicks my child's stroller with my baby in it, I will surely kick their ass...
