Highlights of yesterday

Finally got around to transposing writing from paper notebook into the computer, with an eye on (*gasp*) producing another issue of my zine (I do a zine?)

Received densely packed box of books and other objects from my brother,

brush_rat, including compilation of excellent comic strip "Maakies," and most effeminate Micronaut ever. It looks like C3P0 imitating Cher on roller skates. He lords over the tiny apes and bobble-head alligators on the computer decoration shelf, raising his forlorn stump (one arm is busted).

Whilst assembling an impromptu "log henge" in the park, dropped heavy log on big toe, resulting in painful, unattractive, but thankfully minor, injury.

Sulked at home while doting wife wondered how I managed to get seven tattoos with a pain tolerance as low as mine. (hint: no tattoos under toenails)

Rode bikes with wife (!) into Allston. After a late breakfast, went to the Super 88. I was looking for the delicious (really) vegetarian jerky made from mushrooms that I have had before, but they only had the much inferior tofu version. As I'm spending most of next week on airplanes, I bought three packs. We also gawked at the exotic items in the freezers such as vegetarian ham, vegetarian eel substitute and entire mock lobsters. (Now you shall have a B52's song, with the wrong lyrics, in your head.) Highlights from the genuine meat department included all kinds of pig organs, huge beef tongues, 2 lb. packages of much smaller duck tongues, and most exciting to me, entire frozen pigeons (plucked and gutted, but with head and feet).

Hobbled around Ward's Pond with dogs. A very forward Katydid jumped on the wife, and then stuck around for photographs.

Hobbling back home, encountered injured chickadee. Moved bird off path to peaceful recovery or horrible death. (None of my business which.)

Spent evening at Flann O'Brein's Pub with lovely friends who had nothing better to do on a Monday night than get schnackered, and enjoy stories and laughter.
