down the rabbit hole

Whoops, did a bit of a disappear there, and I'm not back for long. Today I am trying to be virtuous and wading through file boxes of paper, looking for time bombs. Yeesh. But here are some keywords for the past few days:

1. computer malfunction
2. last minute reversal on fire opera attendance; backstage assistance therein
3. short skirt, spiderweb fishnets, platform boots with four-and-a-half-inch heels
4. bleeding freely from cuts incurred in said fishnets at said fire opera
5. crashing in the Castro in Princess' guest room
6. trading distracting web sites with Princess' roommate (see sidebar: don't say I didn't warn you)
7. way too FREAKING cold here
8. even more FREAKING cold in Michigan, and I'm T-minus one week on that
9. transcendent experience involving two very small pieces of Michael Ferruti (?) chocolate
10. fun with the ferry

I'll be back, spelling some of this out. In the meantime, remember the great man in whose name we have the day off.
