frozen morning

we watched barbarella last night. i passed out for most of it, but loved what i saw. it's the second time i've seen it: the first time was a friday night, with my cousin and a buddy of his who were all spaced out on heroin while his girlfriend and i alternatively canned ourselves laughing at the movie and grinned at their vegetable responses.

it was bitterly cold this morning, and the four hours of sleep weren't enough to brace me for it. i launched myself out of bed before i could fall back into my silent dreams, grabbed some clothing and walked out the door, desperately trying to warm myself up with good trance. it might've worked better if i had worn my beanie, because that keeps the earphones in at just the right strength to let me hear the bass properly...

after some hesitation over where to sit for coffee before the appointment, i got a bit of reading done and then waltzed in to the doctor's office to be informed that i appear to have dislocated my jaw. so now i have a referral to the dental clinic. he also gave me a referral for another h. pylori test because it's possible that it's stopped being a problem. when i mentioned that pg had gone for testing too, he laughed and called me "polish" - he says that his wife always seems to get it but not him, so i shouldn't worry about having transferred it. i hope he's right!

it occurred to me a few days ago that my phone cover's string that i always let trail leaves a certain orange afterimage of my religious youth :P

after coming home and resting some more, i walked out to witness buses 20, 64, 55, and 9 arrive at the stop all at once - that never happens. and usually i've just missed the one i'm looking for. would that i could get that sort of service all the time :)

i was too late for the dental clinic and the pharmacy - when the secretary told me i'd need to arrive earlier next time i immediately shot back an incredulous "who gets up before 12 on a friday?!"

i walked out into absolutely stunning weather, and slowly made my way to cafesito for a good breakfast with pg and urchin. afterwards pg and i went to the bookstore, but that closed less than five minutes after we arrived and i wasn't going to buy books under pressure.

we spent the afternoon lazing, and now it's time to get ready for dinner. it's been such a good day! gonna pay for it tomorrow :P
