Today's whirlwind itinerary:

[icebluenothing]

Woke up with treebyleaf at a not-unreasonable hour, and then headed over to Country Village again so she could pick up something called a "dye magnet." Then to Seattle Filmworks in Northgate to get some cheap film for her upcoming trip to Texas.

Then it was downtown to do some shopping at Pike Place Market, then to Borders to finally drop off those flyers, then down to Pioneer Square, The day grew increasingly cold and rainy, and we got a little snappish with each other at one point, but we managed to find the root of it and talk it out and smooth it over. Then finally it was back to her place for Enterprise. That was fun, but I was sorry to find retcon feeling a little under the weather.

(This all felt like so much while it was happening; I'm having a hard time believing, as I glance back over the last two paragraphs, that I've mentioned everything.)

After Enterprise, against my better judgement, I headed back out into the dark and rain to Capitol Hill -- this is the night the seagoth crowd congregates at Aurafice, and I wanted to go down and shove flyers in peoples' faces -- I mean, subtly promote my upcoming reading. That went well and was worth doing.

I drove C-ko home from Aurafice, and that was a little scary -- the truck skidded a couple of times when cornering, a little hydroplaning, which is just what I was afraid of, going back out. (Why did it have to happen when someone else was in the truck?) C-ko didn't freak out too badly, fortunately, and I seem to be getting pretty good at recovering from skids.

I made it home okay. Obviously, since I'm posting this.

This confirmed I need to go to bed

I read that as: Why did it have to happen when someone else was in the trunk?

C-ko here.

1. Your truck does scare the shit out of me. Not your driving - your truck.
2. But, compared with the week that I had just had, careening into some random building in the CD would have been a bit of a relief.
3. I'm sure that there are many places where you can get used tires cheap.
