well, much has happened, dear readers!

my mom and joe and i drove around san francisco, and it was terrifying! those hills -- you don't realize how steep they are still you're at the top, fearing for your life, watching other people navigate like it ain't no thang, feeling like some sort of monkey who's still scared of fire.

then we went to tommaso's and ate for free, since my parents know the owners. oh hai! delicious italian food -- we ate it!

last night, joe and i ate indian food after seeing _persepolis_. we are almost-globetrotters! we took bart home. i am riding bart a lot more since joe is here -- it is cheaper and quicker to take bart for short trips. actually, it is always quicker, just not always cheaper.

today it was back to the salt mines for this girl. i'm working on filing for library of congress data for counterpoint's next season of books. now that adam is here, i am doing fewer fun editorial things. i guess that is better for the team, since adam knows what he is doing more than i do. but it is not fair to give me a taste of greater things (proofreading!) and then grab them away and replace them with finicky production schedules and this silly library of congress data. and the thing is, i was better at the higher-level editorial stuff than i am at the lower-level administrative stuff, because i am intellectually competent but very disorganized. maybe it's partly because i am only working three days this week and roxy doesn't want to assign me anything too major that i might not finish? i will choose to tell myself this.

taylor the terrier, because she is small and a terrier, came into my room to say hi and pissed all over my sheets out of sheer excitement. now i am washing them. it is 11:40. I WANT TO GO TO BED. doh
