not sleeping

its just about 3am and i can't sleep.
we went to bed around midnite and about thirty minutes ago someone texted jes and the vibrating phone woke me up. i laid there and finally decided to get up and blog and watch a little tv. i am yawning, so maybe this will put me back to sleep.

oh my gosh, i think "good times" is on. i used to love this show when i was a kid.

so i had a celebrity sighting today. i worked at the co-op for jes today and when i was finishing up my shift and getting ready to shop, i saw the writer safire. i have read her book of poetry called "american dreams" and her book "push." I teach from the former and i just re-read the latter (b/c i bought jes a copy of her own for the train). i thought i saw her there one time when i was shopping (she was working the register) but i wasn't sure and i wasn't about to be like "um are you safire" and her be like "um no dipshit." so today at the end of my shift i was working with a woman named christina (i think) who studied comp lit at berkeley. so i asked her if she knew safire's work and she said she did and then i asked her if she thought that was her and she agreed it was. i told her how i get all star struck and tongue tied around great writers b/c their work moves me and b/c i wish i was more like them. she told me i should say something to her. i just couldn't do it. and you know i walked past? passed her at least five times while shopping. she got some boston lettuce, some blueberries and she was wearing these really cute grey keen sandals. i know alyson and ali (and azad for that matter) would have loved them. maybe one day i will be working on the same team as her (unlikely b/c she works register and i work receiving) but maybe it will happen and then we can talk. or maybe i will just keep admiring her from afar like a dork.

so the mom (flo) on good times is so happy to see j.j. b/c he was out all night with thelma's (his sister) hot teacher miss bishop. thelma is giving him the business about kicking it with her teacher. she is hot. i think i used to have a little crush on thelma.

ok i am getting tired again, yawning and eyes watering. so i am going to try and hit the bed again.

today is my goddaughter alix's birthday. she is twelve years old.
