2004-12-09 & 16:58 : ANYWAY

it's only 315 and today has already been super-rad.

first of all, i got a really nice long night of sleep last night. i was asleep before 2am!

CRAZY!

and i slept til like noon.

woke up to mels sitting on my chest, licking (ew!) and scratching (ow!) my face in turn.

getting frenched by your cat is so fucking gross. i do not like it. i don 't even like when she licks my hand, ok?

licking my mouth! grody!

but affectionate, so awwwwwww.

but still creepy.

here's a pic i took post french-fest:

and here's one a took a few mornings ago:

anyway

then i got up, read some mail, played around with melle mel and then took the nicest longest shower ever. got all the electrode jizz out of my hair and also all the feline spit off my face and hands.

sat on my bed and read for awhile and then went to the diner to get breakfast again.

YOU GUYS, EGGS BENEDICT IS(are?) SO GOOD, AND I ONLY JUST TRIED IT(them?) YESTERDAY! i had to go back and get it(them?) again today.

i think next weds when i get paid i will go back get a short stack of pumpkin pancakes and a side of poached eggs. i had no idea poached eggs were so good. i always thought they'd be nast, but i was HELLA WRONG.

anyway

going to the diner alone is so much fun. i really enjoy looking at people over the edge of my book so it's not obvious i am studying them. almost everyone i saw in the last two days of dinering alone has a noticable ritual with their breakfast food. for some reason, it's much more noticable with breakfast food than with other meals.

for instance, today, the asian man with the ponytail and the pumpkin pancakes first cut the piece of pancake with his fork, then spread the cranberry marmalade over the entire piece of pancake with his fork before daintily dipping the very end of the prongs of his fork in the ramekin of maple syrup, wiping the maple syruped prongs over the triangle of pancake, spearing it and shoving it into his mouth.

the guy with the jacket that made him look like a yak tapped incessantly on the edge of his coffee cup and always looked into it before drinking coffee.

the adorable girl with short hair and the biscuits and gravy took a bit of hashbrowns, put pepper on the forkful of browns, then dipped the fork into the gravy before spearing eggs and putting the whole bit into her mouth. everytime she put it in her mouth she closed her eyes and smiled. she looked positively beatific eating her plate.

i just looked out my window and it's so fucking dark!

thank god the solstice is coming. it's nutsy how early it's dark here. god!

anyway

after breakfast i went for a walk around my neighborhood in the rain. it's pretty lovely, where i live. i feel really lucky to have this place and for this place to have me. i went into a book store and got an awesome book:

and then i walked around some more and now i am back!

and i got a good phone call from my doctor and it seems like things are moving along again, so i am very very happy! up with doctors who kick insurance company ass!!

oh man, that's a big weight off my mind.

ANYWAY

i really love my friend longitude. she is one of the nicest, unfailingly honest, beautiful, amazing people i have ever met. the fact that she is a girl is THAT MUCH MORE AWESOME. and she is a fanfuckingtastic artist/designer.

she made my diaryland diary, and she has sent me little books and awesome mix cds and i love her very much!

and recently she made this:

space rabbit!

so i totally told her to make a SPACE RABBI!!

but she was like, i don't know how to make a rabbi!

and i was like, whoah, i'll look for stuff!

and YOU GUYS! LOOK WHAT I FOUND: SHABOT 6000!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

holy motherfucking shit, you guys.

ROBOTS+JEWS=HOT LOVE@!

lastly:

ANYWAY

i love project runway's austin. i mean, he's simply fabulous.
