I'm here now. I went shopping today, and bought new sneakers, which are way nicer than my old sneakers. (Well, my old sneakers are falling apart. It would be pretty difficult for sneakers to be less nice than them.) But my new ones were affordable, and have good ankle support, and are purple, so those are all pluses.
I just think it's rather odd that a nation that prides itself on its virility should feel compelled to strap on forty pounds of protective gear just in order to play rugby.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

I'm here, now that everyone's probably gone. I didn't buy anything, but went on a 2 hour cruise (in sunshine, no less), drank a bit of fine, local beer made especially for this day, and listened to some outstanding, live classical music while on the water, all in the company of a good friend that I haven't spent much time with recently. Then, another friend popped by unexpectedly for a five minute chat, and just left, about 2.5 hours later. All told, an outstanding day, even if I am not in SF.
Yeah on the good shopping!

Sorry, I got busy making another cat sweater. All I gotta say is, Harvey better wear this one.

SA, I read about you graduating (so exciting!), but just now saw your Beep Me post. That is so beautiful. I don't think I've been one of those especially supportive folks, but I know just how you feel. You put it so well. Maybe it's the college education or maybe it's your inate talent, but now I'm getting verklempt.
Also, I think I will no longer be able to think of you as either your full name or SA. You will always be Batman to me.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Hooray for a lovely day, Libkitty!

Cereal: Andi, I'm so impressed with you knitting. I have two projects I should be working on, but it's almost impossible for me to knit in the summer.

Thanks, Robin. It really has been much nicer than I even anticipated.

I worked on my writing, then to the gym, and then out with friends to dinner and a movie ( iArt School Confidential). Sadly, the dinner did not agree with my intestinal tract in a rather, uh, decisive way, so the end of the day was less pleasant than beginning. On the upside--tomorrow we are going to an outlet mall! to buy clothes! New clothes! The BF is one of those dudes who likes shopping and I foresee an EXCELLENT day.

I hope you're tummy's feeling much better tomorrow and that you get some good finds.

Congrats, SA!
Hope you are feeling completely better quickly, Robin.
libkitty, this was crocheting in anger. I was mad about something that happened (a rug I HAD been working on got cat-puke on it, and fell apart in the washing machine). So I took the remnant of a scarf I had been working on, and started stitching it together to make a Harvey a sweater. Yes, he wants to mess with my craft stuff, I'll give him craft stuff, alright. I suspect this will eventually lead to me chasing him around the house, trying to put the sweater on him for the fifth time in a day.
