Bye Bye Barbee
Saturday had me and B shopping for sweet-smelling trinkets at
Currents on Valencia, finding SB and gobbling tapas at
Cha Cha Cha on Mission, then grabbing my man and piling into my car to Mynx's for a swelligant party. Muunkie was bartendress, and made me Otter Pops to match my hair.
B was sleepy and we didn't want her to get into "working" the party if she didn't want to, so SB and I broke out the henna and started painting one another, and passing out the little magic henna-bags that Barbee makes out of doritos sacks and whatnot (cut into triangle, roll into cone, tape cone, fill with henna, tape shut at the end, cut teeny hole in pointy end for henna -- poof! you have a soft drawing tool).
We did our goofball henna-scribbles, and B drew on Mynx and Muunkie. Check the photos — it's kinda blindingly obvious who did what, even without the photo captions. Still, we had fun. And we got others drawing on one another, which means B's henna will cover even more of SF this trip. Yay!
Then we went home and I stayed up too late with my fella, leaving 2 hours for sleep before it was time to go help B pack in the Fillmore. I tried to buy us coffee at Starfucks (only option for lattes or whatever in the nabe). Barbee asked for "something fancy" and since I don't ever go there, I didn't know that the things subtitled "blended drink" are in fact Fucking Coffee Slurpees. Eew. Still gave us enough caffeine to finish packing in time, and B made her flight.
I ran some errands in that special zombie state you only get when sleep-deprived at the end of a trip (or an eventful visit) went back to my man's place for omelettes and kisses, then slept for something like 19 hours.
And now it's now. Guess I should go catch up on election news or see if New York fell into the ocean or anything. I've not been so very aware of the world outside my little friend-bubble this week. Shock.
