i was cold today! i think that's the first time since i moved here. tonight we're meeting alex at the jantzen beach borders for a reading by chuck palahniuk (of fight club fame). he'll be reading from his newest book, fugitives and refugees which is about portland and might even be worth buying. then we might go to dinner w/ alex, though i'm arming myself w/ a cheese quesadilla, just in case.
amelia is worsening. we woke up with three gifts and i got three more during the day, and they're just puddles. i sobbed an email to michael saying i couldn't take it anymore, which is ironic because he's been much more patient about the situation than i have. i called the vet but of course he's busy. he'll get back to me. sometime.
speaking of which, upstairs jennifer emailed to tell me about nina's bout w/ colitis. the only thing that worked for her was a steroid shot: "(prednisone or something)." also, she says the people who are now her downstairs neighbors have a black cat w/ green eyes which almost gotten eaten by a coyote, despite her warnings. and "lois? louise? your neighbor from downstairs asked, "did our girl make it?!" she was very happy to hear you arrived in tact." hee. :)
other than that, more burning man planning. i want to tie this into my birthday, but i don't know how yet.
