Colorful Metaphors

"If you keep pouting your face will freeze like that!"

APARTMENT IN ATHENS

Twenty-five years ago today:

January 13, 1987
Tuesday

It was two years ago today that I met Chris Cordellos at the I-BEAM nightclub in San Francisco. I thought of giving him a call tonight. I didn't.

I had lunch with Barbara Reynolds at LITTLE JOE'S. Silly me went ahead and treated her to lunch. Ah…oh well, it's no big deal.

I had already decided I wouldn't go to the gym since I still was under the weather. When I settled into my car it wouldn't start-up because I had left the lights on since early this morning. I had them on because of the early morning fog. Damn! Luckily, a nice Asian lady was willing to jump her juice on to mine. I was so happy that I bought those jumping cables at GRAND AUTO the last time I was there. They were conveniently in the trunk of my car.

I went home and Bob Guild had left a message on my recorder.
"Hey Mike, would you like to go and see the new STAR TREK IV movie with me and my pal, Felix, from San Mateo?"
And so…since I knew I wasn't going to the gym. And since…I like Bob's company I decided to accept his invitation.

Bob drove to my place in Alameda to pick me up. He drove to Hillsdale Shopping Center in San Mateo. I bought some new black sweatpants while we were at MACY's. We ate some raunchy tortellini and then headed over to the movie theaters. This 'STAR TREK IV: The Voyage Home' was a pretty good flick. I learned of some 'colorful metaphors' (or dirty words shall we say). The movie was amusing in parts. It was especially nice to see scenes of San Francisco that have become so familiar.

When I arrived home I called Bob and left him a good message, summarizing how much fun I had this evening. I figured it would be nice for him to hear when he arrived home.

I just remembered that Ellison (at 415-921-7008) called me last night. He's the videographer. I was too out-of-it to return his call. I simply went straight to bed.

"You've got to have some fuss."
