I have had a sore neck and shoulders for the past three days and it’s really getting annoying. Stretching isn’t doing much. I can’t figure out whether it’s tension or another disc problem. It’s worst right when I wake up after laying in bed all night. BLEH. And no it’s not my awesome pillow.

Yesterday I went out for a stroll and ended up walking around the Castro. It was sunny and very windy, which is typical weather here. My hair was loose and flying all around my face. As I walked back to the train, some guy passing me said, “cool hair”. Which seemed odd to me, so I kind of laughed and kept going. I haven’t been told I had cool hair since back when I used to bleach it and dye it colors. One time when my hair was green, Michael Stipe told me I had cool hair. At a Fugazi show. True story!

Last night for dinner we had quinoa and stir fried chicken in peanut sauce. I kind of made it up as I went along. It was good though. For dessert: peanut butter cookie with hershey’s kiss in the middle. One of my favorite cookies evvveeerr.

I think I have made Brian a Mountain Goats fan. First, I downloaded most of the records and played them all the time in the house. Then I took him to see them live. Yesterday I caught Brian singing one of the songs (“This Year”). Ah HA!!! Mission accomplished!

Though turnabout is fair play: he kinda did the exact same thing to me with Blonde Redhead. We are going to see them at Bimbo’s the day after our anniversary.

Speaking of anniversaries: HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO CLAIRE

And now I must work on my book, and then go to brunch with Karen K. Happy Sunday, y’all.
