today so far

wake up hungover.
it's raining.
roll over onto my side in bed and lay my limbs across each other like a drawing of a sleeping dog i saw in a book as a kid.
feel low, don't want to move, know it's all bullshit chemicals from champagne overindulgence last night.
get up, get water, pee, feed yoko who is mewling, have to stop to bend over and hold my pounding head.
check phone. tons of twitter messages. lots of them seem related to getting out the vote for obama this weekend.
get in bed with laptop. whine into icb, where my drinking cohorts from last night are also complaining of their hangovers.
talk to jarett on aim.
lay. lay. lay.
yoko lays on me in various configurations, stretching her paws across my forearm at one point. she seems to be judging me, but only mildly.
finally force myself up, 3pm. arrange my outfit around my rainboots.
text from tamera summoning me across the street, but head hurts too bad so i go to st francis and eat greasy things. a dad comes in with his daughter and buys her a banana split. she squirms on the stool next to me as it is made, trying to see the part where they pour the hot fudge on. as the food repairs my cognitive faculties i'm able to have the vicarious blissful experience of being six and having a banana split.
it's raining still, and out the window san francisco is starting to do that thing where everything looks so much brighter against the gloom.
head home in the rain. stop by millionfishes where tamera is scrubbing things like cinderella in preparation for soft monkey puzzles art opening tonight. she explains a thought loop she's having to me. i don't have a why for her.
go get my camera, take a picture of a broken chair in the rain.
jarett calls, we discuss blake nelson at length.
retire to the coffee shop.
that's it so far.
