I fed off a flowerperson, and I spent the next six hours watchin' my hand move.

Skipping-sigh-and-poking-head to post that, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Frankenbuddha's birthday. HAppy birthday, Frank! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

Also, IIRC, today is joe boucher and his DW's first anniversary, so lots of wishes are going their way, as well.

Embrace the idea that we are the leaders we've been looking for. Grace Lee Boggs

It is raining in my bathroom.

I'm so sorry Allyson. I agree that there should be something off your rent to compensate for getting a hotel room, whether or not you actually do. On the bright side, at least the water is raining in the bathroom. Inconvenient, but at least it's not raining all over your books or computer equipment. Still, if they can'f fix it before Wednesday, you should get money.

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

That really sucks, Allyson. And yeah, waiting for a plumber until Wednesday seems like it ought to be illegal.

Week one of my summer job is over. I'm really enjoying it -- it's almost making me want to consider teaching as a regular career. Or possibly some kind of research in gifted education.

This is an interesting article (NYT, needs login) about shrinking social networks that takes the internet into consideration. Except they obviously don't know our special brand of internet closeness: [link]

Hippo Birdies, Frank, wherever you are!

I didn't plan on going shoe shopping last night, but a Famous Footwear store leaped on me as I was accidentally walking along. I escaped with my life and a pair each of Keds and Aerosoles.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Happy Birthday Frank!

Yay for new shoes, and escaping with your life Theodosia!

Is it tacky to serve popsicles at a brunch?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Not if they're grape flavoured, no.

Huh. Suddenly I want mimosa popsicles. This is going to end in privation.

I have some grape flavored.

Whew!

Okay, bagels, popsicles, and peach nectar have been bought. I have about 2 hours of last minute stuff to do, and 3.5 or 4 hours before anyone will show up. I think I can do this.

It's such a good thing that the MicroCenter across from Trader Joes wasn't open when I was doing my bi-monthly foodshopping, because in the mood I'm in, I might have walked in and bought a new MacBook, what with the mood I'm in. ("Shiny!") I'll just have to lust in my heart for a while longer.
