we are all the first in love
I don't like Livejournal's new top menu thing with the pulldown mouseover menus. Go back to the horizontal submenu. Ugh.
In better news, as I raced across town through stupid traffic (traffic is always stupid, but the first rain in three months and Portlanders seem to think its time to drive real slow again and stop at all yellow lights; I wonder if people thought to put their rain chains on their tires) to make it to the church for the OCCV gig, I get a call from a 90-digit number beginning +445... and going on off the screen of my phone. Guessing right, I answer and it's Olivia, calling from "Kenny's international phone."
We got to chat for a minute. She's laughing at "her Buddha" the whole time. They were on the Yang Fu river when she called. She had no idea what time it was there (it was seven here, so I guess Google could help me do some math if I cared). It was odd to be in delay-free conversation with someone literally on the other side of the planet from me, and it made me think simultaneously about how big the Earth is and how small digital technology's made it. Bluh. More important: O called and it was cool. I sent her on a mission to get Jon a Mao Army hat. She's having a lot of fun.
She will be back next week.
I will wait until she is. And then I will wait no longer.
