life minutia

i feel sad today. no extrapulation on that one though.

Last night I did indeed skate around SF - i.e. Put My Life In Incredible Jeopardy.

I thought I'd find a new route to skate - similar to my made-up route in San Leandro. I was thinking "smooth sidewalk" and I forgot about "big inclines." So what happened is gravity got the best of me many a time and I was flying so fast it was impossible to use my brakes, which I do (now) know how to use. I'm surprised my hair didn't turn white with fright. If I wasn't drenched in fear and sweat I might have remembered to call it "fun."

I think next time I'll just stick to Geary and Clement.

I also went bamboo stick hunting. This was before I skated. I took my script and studiously practiced as I walked around looking for a 1-inch wide bamboo stick. I'm going to lay it diagonally accross a corner of my room on the trim. Then I can hang my towels there to dry. I got the idea from Andre, that's what he does. (We are short on towel racks.) But no bamboo stick was found, not at ACE Hardware or any of the other gardening stores. I did get all of Scene 1 down pat though. The rest needs a bit more work..

Maybe I'll go to Orchard at lunch...

I wish I didn't have rehearsal today. Not that I don't enjoy it. Just other stuff I'd rather do.

I'm hungry and only have 2 bananas. I am not in the mood for a banana. :( still sad too.
