yesterday was the first day of fundraiser. so far, so good. but it lasts for another week, and by the end i know i'll be bone-tired.
after work, dinner with charo & skip at the pizza palace. the waiter (fred) who served us on my birthday remembered me the moment i walked in the door and was equally goofy with us last night. when he asked, during the course of the meal, whether he could bring us anything else i joked that he could bring a free piece of cheesecake (just like he did on my birthday). and whaddya know... he did. with strawberries, even. he also told me he is playing music at the pizza palace tonight. i already have plans, else i might stop by for a few minutes.
anyway, after dinner was a/v geeks. last night's theme was "yesterday's tomorrow today". films from the past about the future. one was called "future shock", based on the book, and narrated by orson wells. it paints a pretty dour future. then a 1966 film called "1999 AD", which foretold more of a jetsons future. some predictions were pretty close... buying household items from a computer in your house, for instance. the last film was a CBS news special about transplants and prosthetics. the portion where they transplant a monkey's brain was perhaps one of the most stomach-churning things i've seen on screen. bleah.
now i'm up early this morning (the alarm went off at 6:25!) and getting ready to head into work for a few hours of fundraising. the afternoon will be free, then off to manbites dog for SMUT.
busy busy!
