o beautiful magical bagel
you are saving my life this morning

i didn't play with the new computer last night because i stayed out too late celebrating erin's birthday. my favorite part was when erin and i made computer connection noises to tease liz about her dial-up internet. "beeboobeeboo. badang badang. screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!"

anyway. the imac is The Shit. the screen is so big and bright.

sigh.

this morning the u.s. bancorp building looked like someone had installed neon along its weird squished rhomboid edge. ever since i read that its nickname is Big Pink, i think of it as such even though i HATE that name. it is pink, though. and this morning it was GLOWING pink. i hate getting up early but i love mornings.

we had a great, late dinner last night for betsy's birthday at Clyde Common. It was delicious and fun. One of the servers there is a library patron and we were blabbing about T:BA and he mentioned that Reggie Watts always stays at the connected hotel when in Portland. AND then Reggie Watts came in. I couldn't get Bill to go say hi, but it's okay, because I wouldn't have either. I'm shy about that stuff. Reggie Watts is just a guy. But he's also a smart and talented guy.

anyway, I think Betsy had fun on her birthday. Oh, I love September. BIRTHDAYPALOOZA!
