Year of the Klutz is only kind of the new awesome

Maybe I spoke too soon when proclaiming 2007 to be off to a good start, because it seems like I have been struck with some pretty bad luck ever since we ushered in the new year. I have a number of bruises and cuts on my legs from a newfound propensity for running into sharp/hard objects, have been misplacing all sorts of important things, dropping expensive electronics (like my new camera...), and a number of other mishaps that thus far bode poorly for 2007.

For instance - we were at Mark and Pepper's baby shower the other night, and Jordan had done the table up all gorgeous, like any self-respecting tea party ought to be...


This is Betsy and Kristie, enjoying their hot chocolate and tea right before they asked me to refresh their cups.

And this is the table right after I had poured hot chocolate all over everything, including Betsy's skirt, while successfully scalding Kristie.


And, my cursed luck continues, because tonight I was riding my scooter along Haight with a passenger in tow when we heard a strange thumping noise coming from the rear of the scooter. I stop, and look at the wheel to see this:

An enormous nail, just sticking right out of the tire. How does that happen? Of course as soon as I took the nail out, all the air in the tire went with it, and my friend that i was taking home had to get roped into pushing my scooter back to my place with me.

Still 357 more days to go in 07. I am scared to leave the house tomorrow.
