It looks like crazy, JW, preaching thru my screen door lady is moving. Rather suddenly. Seems her daughter kicked her out (the daughter owns the apartment).

This means no more crazy lady talking to me through my front door trying to 'convert' me & get me to her Jonestown meetings.

He seemed too good to be true.

How does he play in person?

In exciting magazine news, my local shop stopped carrying Gothic Beauty so I was happy to pick up the last issue at Pegasus Books in Berkeley. I thought, "This seems like a particularly Jilli issue what with the big ad by Kambriel, the Voltaire profile and the Steampunk fashion spread."

And there she was on page 11 at the Goth Convergence. (The report of which was super gossippy and catty and fun.)

Also got Tiki Magazine to inspire my liner note gig that has to be done this week. Plus the official 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates Yearbook for my friend Chip.

Oh, and the Rock and Roll Comics issue on The Cure.

A few too many mimosas. I have a feeling this will be my Sunday ritual for a while.

I take it you were at a tree-trimming party.

I was! How'd you know?

I have my sources.

Did you already hear the fuzzy sweater story?

Timelies!

Today I participated in my first race. I still think people who run for fun are crazy, but I averaged my 6.2 miles at 12.5 minutes/mile (close to 78 minutes). My personal goals were to finish the race, hopefully under 90 minutes, and hopefully not to be last. So go me! I am a wee disappointed because I've been able to do better during training, but I have to remember that I've only been training for 6 weeks.

Now I am very sore. Also, I need to find more races to keep me motivated. Because running sucks! And yet I have to be able to run for the triathlon I signed up for!
