from 47 irving avenue, atherton, CA
been home for almost a week now...and have less than a week to go. don't tell that to the stacks of books waiting to be read on my dining table. i'll get to them.
my mother and i went to see Friends with Money, which is just the kind of movie i seem to consistently like....people have dry, bitchy conversation, and not a whole lot happens. plus i love love love Catherine Keener. she's the best. anyway, before the movie started, the 1:10 matinee audience broke into passionate applause over the preview for the Al Gore/Global Warming movie. and i thought to myself, "yup, i'm definitely in the Bay Area now."
i bought a 5-class pack at the new yoga place near my house and intend to use them all up before i go. 2 down, so far, though this evening's class was way out of my league. Pigeon actually gets harder. who knew.
i realize i went a lot of places and saw a lot of people in the last few weeks, without much of an update on them. so, we now have a list.
the highlights of my vacation, in chronological order:
- watching FAME the musical, drunk.
- making breakfast at Worcester, followed by Adventures of the Red Couch (see Facebook for pictures)
- Transamerica. there are no words for this one, except that it's amazing.
- watching Mighty Aphrodite with girls who truly appreciate Woody Allen.
- getting my eyebrows waxed in Edinburgh. honestly, that made me a little too happy.
- small girl-child vomits on my ballet flats (and Frank's flip-flops) in a gelato place in Barcelona.
- playing with the cat at Shakespeare & Company (i am not ashamed to admit that it was even more fun to loiter in this bookstore knowing that Ethan Hawke had been there, filming one of my favorite movies...don't MOCK).
- midnight crepe at Bastille.
- my very first visit to the Emergency Room, abt 36 hours after landing in California.
nothing much exciting has happened since then. i don't seem to have gotten over jet lag---probably because i keep taking naps at 7pm. i'm not going to take a nap now, although it is 7; i'm going to shower, because yoga left me sticky and gross.
Anticipated highlight: my mom and i are going to see Talk of the Nation LIVE at the Exploratorium!!! Neal Conan, i love you.

Are you back in England now? And in the play or no?
