Meeting Montgomery & Other Bits
My co-workers took me out to lunch at one of my favorite spots, Manuel's Tavern. Yesterday was the first cool day we've had and you could feel a snap in the air. I had a big bowl of Brunswick Stew (yummy!) and some of Manuel's to-die-for cheese sticks. Today, the temperature was back in the 80s. I want autumn now!
Best part of my birthday was finally meeting the great Montgomery Maxton. I raced to the Atlanta airport and we met in the atrium for about 25 minutes before he had to dash off and make his connecting flight to San Francisco. MM filmed me with his Flip camera and I'm now a YouTube celebrity. You can see the video below. Lord, I look so much better in black and white... I took some photos with my phone but can't seem to get Bluetooth to connect with the Macbook, so I'll post 'em when I can get them out of my phone. Damn, I really want an iPhone.
CNN is reporting that Obama is up in the polls nationwide. Hooray! CNN has been doing a "poll of polls" where it aggregates all the various numbers. The McPalin bounce is over and old John made a serious gaffe this week on the economy. Lipstick Barracuda is under close scrutiny after she refused to comply with the investigation over "trooper-gate."

btw, when i got to my gate they were loading zones 1 & 2, i was zone 3. nick-of-time.
btw, I checked out MM's San Francisco 2007 video on YouTube--the shots of various buildings and surrounding art & architecture were pretty glorious; the shots of frustration(out of Iraq graffiti, the homeless, the alienation implicit in large cities) a great contrast. And the Final shot:
a cute young man, head tilted towards MM. Tilting one's head towards a subject indicates strong feelings of love.
All that in 4 minutes and 40 seconds.
Next time, maybe get MM to hop around HotLanta with ya--you guys could make a great video!
Hope ur birthday was fab!
and still not looking a day over 19.
you want autumn now? come visit, autumn has arrived in nyc as of, like, today.
can't wait to see you!!!
I hope to see MM when he's in the Bay Area, but I still have this awful cold. We shall see. Otherwise, we'll all be TOGETHER IN ATLANTA soon!

See you Sunday at Java Monkey. Such coolness and awesomeness for me to hear you read.
(((siggghhhh))). i really do miss cutting up with you. we were impossible!!! and nobody understands why i giggle so when i faintly utter the words: "try it on me!" and there's nobody to make faces at me across the room at poetry readings.
i now have to be civilized ... act like i got home training ... and pretend i have some damned sense.
light!
