fireballs and other fun

Last free weekend until April, and I've spent it getting stumble bumble drunk and vegetating in front of the television. White trash, that's me.

Keeks had her going away bash at Amber on Friday. I drank too much, too quickly, but still managed to have a rather interesting discussion about gender politics with a straight boy from the mission and the girl with cool glasses. I'll have to let it sit inside my head for a while and then post about it later.

The most amusing part of the evening? Together we all scared away a skinheaded Bush supporter who seemed intent on talking about how wonderful the current administration is doing despite our efforts to point out social injustice and the soaring trade deficit. It's funny how easily the question, "But you're gay, aren't you?" will clear somebody like that out your immediate vicinity. (He actually cleared right out of the bar...poor misguided creature thought a straight bar in the Castro would be safe haven from freaks.) Good to live in San Francisco. That same tactic might get me a date with a baseball bat in a different part of the country.

I finally came home, announced to G, "I'm drunkened!" and fell into bed.

Yesterday we did some environmentally conscious errands and then watched The Village. Both of these acts left me vaguely longing for a simpler time. So I watched a backlog of Friends and Bewitched episodes that Tivo thought we'd like. Oh to wrinkle my nose and solve the world's problems!

Completely missed the fireball/earthquake, but how weird was that? Also weird is that articles from CNN.com and other news agencies have already disappeared. My inner Mulder is very suspicious.
