1. Mistaking a hair salon for a restaurant and vice versa.
2. Dreaming about writing emails to people.
3. No longer wanting a helper monkey, but wanting a helper monkey robot that can write emails to people.
4. Swallowing more pills a day than I do food.
5. Taking notes on what to blog about later.
Indra, Chris, Brett, and I had a great Saturday roaming the Mission, knocking stuff over in the dangerously overstocked Siegel's, commenting on which wig heads we thought were most attractive at The Wig Factory, and making up songs for future shows that should probably never happen ("There's so much I'd rather do than be with you/Hold my breath and turn blue/Get a Celtic Pride Tattoo/Play the Kazoo"). Brett was able to buy some bags of hair for a project (should I just leave it at that? Yeah...) and I had my first full day of outdoors since being slightly incapacitated. It's days like that that remind me why I live in San Francisco.
Oh, and another good thing about San Francisco...I'm throwing an SF SpeakEasily in March! Here's your early warning!
