on friday i got a call from intelligentsia saying that i had left my moleskine there the previous day. i drove across town to pick it up. when i got out of the car in silverlake, i realized that the zipper on my dress had completely split and i was exposed from back to butt. thankfully i had a jacket in the car and i ran overheating and delirious in and out of expensive boutiques on sunset junction on a hot day, looking for something new to wear. i grabbed a funny yellow too-short dress thing off the rack in front of the ragg mopp vintage store and told the store clerk that i needed to buy this and i needed to wear it now.
today i figured out that my missing debit card was left at trader sam's at the disneyland hotel last wednesday when i had drinks with rhiannonnk. since i'm leaving on a trip to paso very early tomorrow morning, i decided that if i wanted to hold cash in hand anytime in the near future, i would have to drive down to orange county from la and back again. i find the best method for dealing with very annoying and exhausting tasks is to tackle them immediately, before you have too much time to dwell on how much you resent having to do them. i drove 34 miles down to anacrime and claimed my delinquent possession, walked around downtown disney, felt overwhelmed by all the shopping, bought a terrible chicory coffee from the creole cafe, and drove back 34 miles.
why am i so absentminded? i am in good spirits nevertheless and have been enjoying driving my car, walking barefoot, very agreeable weather, barbecues, attending birthdays, shopping, meeting friends' old and new boyfriends, seeing friends' new dwellings (1 apartment, 2 houses), and otherwise catching up on the developments in the lives of others.
