Dad's in town

Dad's in town. We went with my cousin and his new girlfriend and family to the Tonga Room last night. Outrageous atmosphere, outrageous music, outrageous prices, good company.

We had a pretty major disappointment this morning when we went to get our new clothes washer (bought on craigslist from someone we turned out to know) only to find out that our seller had changed her mind. How sad to think you'll be getting a clothes washer for a very small amount of money, and on top of that, to have been chosen from among the millions of craigslist respondents, but then discover that you're gettin' nothin' for Christmas. So instead we went to look at plasma screen TVs. The colors are really lovely, but the picture quality seems worse, not better. Everything. sticks. just. a little. when it. moves.

Soon I'm off to Orphan Andy's to meet my dad. Yeah Castro! We saw Milk last night and it was so so so sad. A good movie, but what a sad story.

Other sad things: my PLAID - Plant Lying Around In Dirt has deflated. It looks like a green turd. I'll post a picture when I figure out how.
