Intellectual Beards
Well, we're back at Monday again. Funny how that happens.
I went to bed around 10:30 p.m. last night, and didn't really fall asleep until about 3 a.m.. I had a persistent headache all weekend, and it intensified when I laid down last night. I tossed and turned all night, was way too hot, kicking off the covers, pulling them back on, and dreaming about buying candy at the Walgreens in the Castro before I went to a movie at the Castro Theatre. I tend to stock up on candy and soda before I go to the movies, mainly because the theater doesn't have the kind of candy I want, not necessarily because I'm cheap, because I always spend at least as much on the popcorn and Coke as I do on the ticket itself. So the dream wasn't so weird, except that the Walgreens was in the Crystal Coffin, I mean Twin Peaks on the corner, complete with the giant plate glass windows looking out on to the street. And that's really it. My alarm went off at 7, I turned it off, got up at 9, and got to work by 11:30. Ooops. I see a habit forming here.
And that's all. I have pledged to stay late tonight, until at least 8 p.m. to make up for the tardiness. I don't know what I'm going to do until then, but who knows what will come along.
