The Burn begins to eat my mind.

Ordered electrolumincescent (EL) wire & bike blinkies from Seattle Lumin. I'm determined to be adequately lit up this year. They have local pickup a few blocks from the other side of Green Lake from where I live, and they got my order ready last night. Rode around the lake the long way. Picked up stuff. Got ready as usual, maybe even a little earlier than usual. Was an hour late to an important meeting because I didn't check my schedule first thing. Arg!

Speaking of last night, spent much of it at the Unicorn socializing with a queer Russian immigrant woman who is not the Siberian Siren. She's a little older than the SS, so she had tales of just how sick the Soviets could be. Good times. The Unicorn, by the way, has truffle popcorn, which is utter crack.

I guess my new Fluevog Truth Alisons are mine now: I blistered my feet walking all over the Hill & bled on them. I'll be bringing band-aids to Pride.
