The One... The Only... The Vieve

Smooth. Like buttah.

I think I had the smoothest ride to the other side of the country in the history of the universe. Besides waking up at ass:30 AM (actually, it was about 4 AM, but same thing), it was a charmed journey. It turned out that one of my roommates happened to be going to the airport at the same exact time as me, so we shared a cab, which saved me monies. The plane boarded slightly ahead of schedule and, as the plane finished boarding, it dawned on me that I had the entire row all to myself. Unheard of, at least for me. So I was able to stretch out luxuriously and watch Season 1 of Project Runway in relative comfort. And then, THEN, the plane arrived 45 minutes early. After I collected my luggage, I had to wait mere minutes for the BART bus, and then only a minute or two for the train. There was a sketchy moment when two guys tried to "help" me buy my train ticket, but I politely yet firmly told them, "No, thank you, I know what I'm doing. I have it under control. NO, REALLY."

I have a feeling the universe is going to smack me upside the head on my return trip (which is the dreaded red-eye, and during which I never get a wink of sleep, thus making it miserable), but I'll try to be optimistic and believe otherwise. We'll see.

As we flew over Nevada, I gave people there a hearty mental wave. Helloooooo!

When I got into the city, Chris took me for food at Boogaloo's, where I had delicious eggs and andouille sausage and black beans and a corn muffin and tasty coffee and freshly squeezed orange juice. Then I watched The Fifth Element (eh) and kind of tried to nap, but San Francisco is really fucking loud, and so is the movie, so oh well. And now I have a pineapple-mango smoothie and another cup of coffee. Hopefully this, along with some melatonin tonight, will help me get on this-coast time. I not so good with time changes, unfortunately.

I have nothing on my agenda beyond that, and that's just fine with me.
