three-seventeen

saw one of my favorite authors, Michelle Tea, do a reading at the Varnish Art Gallery on Natoma b/w 1st and 2nd street. She was proceeded by authors Tara Jepsen (who was quite funny), Stephen Elliot (not as funny), and Beth Lisick (funny, but not as funny as she thinks she is). Michelle was only partially humorous tonight, and I wonder if that speaks to the levity of her new book, Rose of No Man's Land. She is an inspiring human being, so much that I'm actually staying home to work on my own story instead of going out to brave the St. Patrick's Day shenanigans. Had I not been by myself, I would have stayed longer ~ it was a really interesting venue. However, going solo, plus seeing a girl there that I (sort of) went out with several months ago...with her new girlfriend...enticed me into cruising back towards MUNI and checking the Tarheel game score. The week was mostly average, with a brain-busting / leg-destroying work out on Thursday. The weekend looks to be lower than low-key, since I took a minor hit from the Montreal plane ticket. It will be worth it!!!
