civic duty

Such a week to be out of work, and sitting in the courthouse. I am very, very, tired. My legs are very, very, sore from pogo-ing at the Pigface show. It was worth it. Today i learned that Cafe Roma is actually a quite nice place, with lovely food, and very tolerant of girls bearing laptops who sometimes talk annoyingly on cell phones to their day job. I bet i'm still probably nicer than a lot of the law-types hanging out there... (c'mon, let me pretend i still have a shred of dignity...)

Other observations from Pigface i forgot to append on Sunday in the wee hours:

a) Damien Warman: 1 part Chris Connelly, 1 part China Mieville.
b) Sunset Gun is a great song. Still stuck in my head. So glad they played it.
c) I do dearly love the ATM messages at the DNA.

Other things that happened & that i saw this weekend:
a) 9 week old lion cubs!! early! at the Zoo on Sunday! Must. Have. Lion. Cub. Just call me Siegfried & meriko.
b) We had a pleasant half-an-hour with the lemurs before the crowds showed up. (We were allowed in pre-opening to visit aforementioned lioncubs.) They were busily warming up in one of four approved-of sun-worshipper poses. We watched a duck attack a red-ruffed lemur. The duck won.
c) The male siamang came over to say hello, and then returned to his mate, to drape his arm over her in a charming & possessive manner.
d) We saw the King of the Chimpanzees.

I really do like being at the zoo when the masses aren't there. I should take advantage of members' hours more often.

And the bed transform is nearly complete. We stopped in at a mattress store before heading to San Ramon on Sunday (yes, we were busy busy lemurbees) and ordered a mattress for the spare room bed. Now all we need to do is await delivery, and find a home for the futon & futon frame!

Chris Connelly? This is a knitting reference, right?
I mean, I wouldn't know industrial music if a new building fell down around me.

The Mieville I understand, but I'm not getting my ear pierced, let alone that many times. Maybe a discrete green or pacific turtle tattoo.

There's a picture of our man Chris here:

but he's a bit blurry.

Personally, I don't see the resemblance except that he's got a shaved head these days. And he folds his arms in That Way.
