there has been so much that i have been meaning to write about – here’s the update:

• ABN and i need a bigger bed.  i love my bed, i’ve had it since i lived on bannockburn.  i took it with me to westpo and then when i moved up to boston, my dad let me bring it there as well (it took a lot of nudging).  it made the cross country trip and now resides in our room here.  and its a great bed – so high that it sort of requires a step stool to get into.  it’s light wood and sleigh style with slats that i used to carve things into way back when.  but its only full size and its just a little tight for me, ABN and my stuffed torah and silky pillow.  since i don’t plan to give up sleeping with any of the aforementioned items/partners, its time to think bigger, and maybe a bit lower (maybe its climbing into the bed that’s taking a toll on my knee…interesting…).  we’re not making the change anytime soon – at least not until we move again and i never want to move again.  but yeah, i’m feeling the need for a grownup bed.
• dolores park on a saturday afternoon = a little piece of heaven.  it was gorgeous here in SF yesterday (it seems to be gorgeous here more often than its not).  cold beer, bread and chopped liver (i know..weird), good reading material and live music.  it was wonderful.  before the park we picked up our libations at BI-RITE.  we’ve been meaning to stop by this fancy market since basically week one but it took us until now.  anyway, i walk up to the counter to pay and look up only to find one of my former campers (think 1997) all grown up.  we both recognized each other immediately and caught up on the last, you know, 12 years.  she’s gorgeous and a college grad, living on her own in the city.  and i’m…old.
• last night our netflix was AMERICAN TEEN.  it fell into the catagory of movie had i requested for myself that i never for one minute considered ABN would watch with me.  but then last night, after the beer and livers at the park (weird) we both wanted to do nothing more than veg on the couch – oh and if ABN could put some aloe on my sun-kissed (i will argue NOT BURNED back) that would be rad too.  so we watched together and i think he didn’t hate it and because it involved all things i love – teens, angst, suicide, floppy hair – and at the very end of the credits THE TING TINGS…it fulfilled my saturday night needs a T.
• JON MINUS 9 is keeping me up at night
• i’m having really ridiculous stress dreams – last night they included a battle of the bands gone terribly wrong and lots and lots of dead people.  i’ll stop there.
• i seem to be doing this thing where i’m clenching my teeth really tight and the result is a very sore jaw.  at first i thought maybe i was grinding my teeth at night, and i might be, but i’m noticing at random times during the day – a deep clench.  just another reason its a good thing i made the dentist appointment.
• twitter – still don’t really understand how it works, but – i’m obsessed.

and scene.
