alas, we missed the first half of last night's pres debates. sven suddenly remembered he hadn't turned on the vcr and we began at the point where kerry was talking about health insurance issues. but we finally saw the vp debates, which made me groan almost the whole way through. i don't know why people keep saying the debates have been "even": in the first pres debate, kerry was cleary more articulate and knowledgeable and coherent; in the vp debate, cheney was clearly the more substantial debater. it turns out i don't like edwards at all. what i'd like to see is a debate between kerry & cheney.
sven & i went to see david zuttermeister's show at tiny's. i haven't seen him in a very long time & cathy even remembers me from when i borrowed a bike rack from her at burning man! for his part, david recognizes sven from reed. he had several abstracted portraits in the front and a 3d collection in the black blue room he was using a psuedonym for.
yesterday amelia woke us with the most horrible noise she's ever made. i rushed downstairs, but it appeared she was well: only one tiny bit of crap by the litterbox, with nothing else amiss. but it did turn out to be a bad day in that my uti is still hanging around, so the doctor prescribed me a larger dose of something more extreme. boy, i hope that does it. i hate spending this much time thinking about bodily functions.
and did i mention we've been invaded by fruit flies? still, better than the ants.
the packetwarp/puddingbowl/dreamhost transition is not kicking my ass, but it is making me feel a little overwhelmed, the kind of vague unease where you don't want to look at it full on and keep squinting at and around it, or finding something else to do instead.
oh, but in the midst of all this, i forgot to mention chas sent me an antarctica dream dollar a while ago! in addition, he's offered me his old letterpress if i can come get it, which might work out well since we're planning to go to colorado for thanksgiving. eeeeeeeee! i hope it all works out!
