Δαφνη Ευτυχια Αρθουρος

Eventually got to sleep this morning. Had a bizarre dream that I really wanted to tell people about when I woke up (rather clever time-travel plot, as I recall, but dammit, I can't remember details now, because I went back to sleep before writing it down). Got a massage from anniemal that was much longer than planned. (Not that I'm complaining, as long as she didn't mess up her thumb again.) So far no sign of injury from the accident. Looking at the car in daylight it does appear that the impact was not as dramatic as it felt when it happened: the front bumper is abraded in some places and torn (it's plastic) in others, the wheel-well is scuffed but not dented, my right front turn-signal lens is cracked, and the (plastic) wheel-cover on the right front wheel has a light blue stripe on it and is bent. I haven't looked under the hood yet, but I think I may have gotten off with only cosmetic damage to the car and only shock and severe pissed-offedness personally. Shuffled plans around a little more; ran back to Baltimore to fetch garb for tomorrow evening (a gig with Thrir Venstri Foetr / Three Left Feet) and drop off film from Tuesday -- heading back to Arlington unless I feel too tired for the drive after going up to the photo lab (which has an after-hours drop slot). Plan to bring Perrine back home on Saturday. I think she's afraid I'm going to stuff her back in the cat-carrier when she sees me dressed to go out.

I think I mentioned the film that someone got processed for me as a late Christmas present. I've been going through it, seeing what's there, slowly getting the prints and slides labelled (Roll-ID, frame number) ... I found a few shots of The Homespun Ceilidh Band performing in DC in 2002, photographed by anusara. I also found some photos I shot in 2001 at a Thrir Venstri Foetr rehearsal when the musician I wrote about in September (9th paragraph of that entry), a former member of Thrir Venstri Foetr who died last year, was still living in Maryland and still playing with us. That was a slightly surreal moment as I shifted emotional gears.

Okay, I think I'm rested enough to get moving again. Wheee.
