Fligt fom dc to denver was delayed by high winds. Plane was bouncing around denver skies like a rubber ball. Woman next to me threw up. Did I mention I'm wearing my white suite? Landed 25 minutes before my connection took off. 35 odd gates between me and my flight. I sprinted the whole way. Now I'm on the plane sweating like a pig in my white suit and having an asthma attack. Yes my inhalelor is checked.

Overheard at the wharhol exhibit at the deyoung museum.
"is he the one who inspired the four pictures... With the colours"

Good speach just under three quarters throu...got to health care reform. One bad point was the use of the term "clean coal" along side wind and solar.

My former bosses boss just got on the train. Department head at ucsf. I can't for the life of me remember her name. She was certainly glad to see me go though.

Last night I dreamt I was in a tropical forrest... Getting swarmed by small bitting insects. I couldn't see them but could feel the bites and feel my exposed skin begin to swell and itch and burn. I don't know why I was there and I was trying to get away from the insects but couldn't.

So of course liza and I are getting matching tatoos. We got a recomendation for pacific roots tatoo... And jason an apprentice to sampson has a nice book and some good designs. So we are going to go back to back. Ill post picks when I'm back on the mainland.

So when the plane landed in maui applause broke out. Either people were really relieved to no longer being subjected to bad network inflight tv or I missed th announcement where we might not actually make it. Weird.

So I have a rare afternpon off.. Kind off boming around with no agenda. I walk into one of my fav restaurants and they are playing the loyde price version of stagger lee. Anybody who knows me well knows about my stagger lee fetish. I took this to be a good omen. crepes should be arriving shortly.

The BLO plays in the civic center garden saturday aftenoon. Holly shit! They are awsome!
Too much stuff going on today in san francisco. Free Mos Def concert in golden gate park. Soap box derby races at delores park. And Barry Malzberg at SF in SF. My city rules!!

So I'm in a cafe on the corner of divis and fulton and a woman who is the spitting image of Christa Faust walks by. I haven't seen her since january and last I heard she was an LA girl. But the woman looked just like her. I was teathered to a laptop and thus couln't run down the street after her to confirm her identity. Oh well. If it was you Christa, I hope you are enjoying san francisco. If it wasn't, you should come up to visit.

Why the fuck does it take 2 hours to wire money to canada. That is how long I have been at my bank. Doing something supposedly simple should not take this long.

Kid rock national guard music video showing in theaters is fucking terrible. I mean... Its gross nationalistic prpaganda... But its also Badly done propaganda. USA... Fuck yeah. (sigh)

Saturns children by charlse stross:
"It's like being molested by a sleeping bag that speaks in Comic Sans with little love-hearts over the i's."

I am tired. Afternoon drinks and maybe food may give me a second wind.

So comicon was really cool... Filled with costumers dressed up in all kinds of pretend military uniforms... Paramilitary.. And insurgent costumes.

now in stuck in the airport and watching soldier after soldier come by in their desert camos and dress browns. Kids really but kids who coming back from or going to hell on earth. We are a nation at war... And we've been completely insulated from it. Its the little details. Just saw a guy... Sergeant(?) presumably... Who still had Velcro field patches over his stripes. You know... So that snipers won't know to shoot at him when targeting squad leaders.

Oh. And there was just an earthquake that got the sky bridge I am on shaking pretty good. I don't think anybody noticed. There's a Metephore there somewhere, I'm sure.

I'm at the IDW party and a really fly looking well dressed guy has been flirting with me. Its the suit suit of course. But I had to dash his hopes.
