Another bleeding day

[howeird]

Ate too late last night to have my fasting blood test at 9, so I went to work, did some stuff then drove to Kaiser and bled for them at 11. Starving. Back to work, had a cup o noodles. Lunchtime was at China Stix, which is now 1/3 its size because major construction is being done. I'm not sure if the sports store is expanding into their space, or if both places are being renovated. The whole ghost town of a shopping center has construction going on.

My weekly report looked like I did a lot of work, but I didn't really. Or at least it didn't feel like it.

After work went to Toyota to fins out if anyone had located my license plates. I had gone online to the DMV, and they will not replace two plates, they will only replace one. CA requires two on the car. Used to only be one. Anyhow, I really don't want to change my plate from HOWEIRD. And I also don't want to be liable for someone using my plates on their getaway car.

The sales manager called around and went upstairs to look in drawers, but nothing showed up. He said if he doesn't find them by Monday he'll file a report so maybe I can get the plates replaced. If he doesn't, I'll file a police report for stolen plates.

Right now I'm in the Starbucks across the street from my UPS box. It's fairly new, not crowded, open till 10. It has a drive-thru. I seem to have snagged the only table near an outlet.

Need to slurp up some yuppie food stamps at the ATM, then spend some time with the cats. And put the sheets in the dryer. It was about 90 degrees today, starting to cool down now.

Plans for tomorrow:

Drop the car at the shop to have the backup cam wired back the way it is supposed to be
Santa Cruz - Uncle bonzai concert

I've seen Uncle Bonsai twice. Once in the 80s and once a couple of years ago when they were touring with Christine Lavin. I am particularly fond of their Love Boat song.

I'll keep an ear out for that, I have not heard it. The way I heard about them was so roundabout I am dizzy remembering. Though I am a Seattle boy at heart, I had only heard the name and thought they were something metallic, so paid no attention. But at this year's Conflikt, CD Woodbury sang Just One Angel and I was so touched by it I looked it up and bought the album. And was tickled by many of the songs and monologues. They don't hardly perform anymore, so the hazardous trip over the hill to SCruz seemed to be worth it. Even if I have to drive back that night so I can be at my band concert the next day.

The Christine Lavin tour where I heard them the 2nd time was the Just One Angel tour. Christine did a compilation xmas cd and that is the title song. The Love Boat song is called Isaac's Lament. I don't know how to paste links on my phone, but there is a youtube video. It's about a young man who, upon hearing his favorite TV show was cancelled, jumps out a window.
