I guess that’s what I get for thinking out loud. Several people got the impression from last night’s entry that I’m leaving San Francisco right now. It ain’t gonna happen that fast. There are nagging little details (like a job, for example) to work out. For all I know, I may be sitting here next year this time. I was talking more in terms of a long-term goal than a short-term strategy.
Sorry… I thought I was just re-stating the obvious. In other words, what I meant was that I’m not planning to spend the rest of my life here. Nor even the rest of my thirties…
That segues nicely into the subject of my upcoming birthday, doesn’t it? I promised about a week back that Irma would be providing a list of appropriate birthday gifts. She’s feeling a little under the weather today, so I’ll just do it myself.
My Birthday Wish List:
- 400 MHz Apple G3
- Cool (and ridiculously expensive) book on the history of American supermarkets
- Cool (and less expensive) book on the history of White Castle
- 1964 Corvair convertible
- Count Chocula…always more Count Chocula…
Of course I’m not really expecting any gifts. the above are provided more as a glimpse into my obsessions this month.
If you’re really feeling generous, just wait for the upcoming Planet SOMA Pledge Drive, where I’ll be unveiling my best stuff of the year and then interrupting it every fifteen minutes to exploit your guilt at not yet having donated. I’m currently looking for phone bank volunteers and people to produce cute inspirational promos.
I figure I should be able to pull in lots of people who used to contribute to KPFA.
