the day so far

1. i found a new hairdresser. i like her not only because she did a great job on my hair, but because she guessed i was a writer, totally out of the blue.

2. another 10mg/day of Celexa ought to improve my state of mind.

3. standing in the median on Van Ness a bit after noon, i saw a guy wearing an outfit of bright primary colors and wearing a sign that said "FRED DOHERTY - AN ASSHOLE WITH A PURPOSE". there was some smaller writing too, but i couldn't read it from three lanes over.

4. the sushi place across from my therapist's office has outstanding miso soup, but the sushi itself is only so-so.

sometimes i miss having a roommate

for several years, i shared living space with an old friend. i had more fun during those few years than the entire rest of my life combined. the two of us could keep each other entertained for hours with something as simple as a thesaurus.

for some reason, i was just reminded of the following exchange, which occurred during one of the periods during which we were both really broke:

spam: i hunger. i will EAT!
me: there's no food.
spam: i will KILL, and THEN i will eat.

i guess you had to be there.
