A new day

I am sooo freaking excited....tomorrow I am talking with Mary Margaret O'Hara in San Francisco. At a Starbucks no less. It's going to be very weird and hopefully very cool. It'll only be for a half-hour but I'll probably need to seriously take an Ativan beforehand or risk being a shaky mess. God, I suck at being a stalker. Anyway, more on that later.

Tonight it's pizza and the debates and catching up on other shows from the week and playing around with the new DirecTv/TiVo set-up.

(Dear Tivo, I love you. Hearts and kisses, me.)

And I know we said we were going to set up the new computer tomorrow night but now it looks like we might go and check out some Second Saturday art exhibits including one featuring Dia de los Muertos alters. The computer can definitely wait another day or two.


Also, it looks like next week we'll get to check out an early screening of I Heart Huckabees. Very happy about this. It looks so completely whacked and I'm in need of a good whacked film. Especially one with a gorgeous Jon Brion soundtrack.


Oh, and it truly felt like fall this morning in McKinley Park. Falling leaves, beautiful sky, crisp air and the anticipation of so possibilities for the start of my favorite time of year. Only the yellow fuzzy ducklings seemed a bit out of place. Still, even if they were rather out-of-season, they were nonetheless heartstoppingly cute. We had to break stride for a few minutes and watch them peck around the dirt with their oversized, gawky bills because I'm a sucker like that for baby birds.
