I really need to get a digital camera...

...so I can show you the ginormous mutation on my lip. (Feels like it's sucking the life force out of me, too, as I've just been dragging all week.)

No, I wouldn't do that. No one should have to look at this thing. It's almost funny to watch people notice it. Almost.

No, I want to show you what I'm seeing every afternoon as I walk to the bus. It's The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill! Is anyone outside the Bay Area even familiar with this film??

Anyway. They've started spending part of their afternoon in a park near where I work, and I gotta say, it's kinda cool to see them, flitting from tree to tree, yapping up a storm. Man, they're loud. And everyone who passes through the park stops to look at them. Nature, in the middle of this big city!

Yaay, Friday! I think there's some Two-Buck Chuck in my future...
