Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The carpenter's now an hour and a half late, with no phone call. I think it's safe to assume he's not coming.

The new washer is installed and the installation guys were nice enough to carry the old one down the 4 flights of stairs even though it wasn't their job. (The truck to haul it away won't be coming until tomorrow, but since it's sitting on the curb right now, I don't really care.)

Of course, the new washer is USELESS without the dryer, because they're designed to run off of a single 220V outlet -- the washer plugs into the dryer and the dryer plugs into the wall. But it sure does look pretty.

We won't know about the status of the dryer until Monday. I think I'm just going to go to sleep until then.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jess, it's too bad my friend who was a handyman for the past few years (a) is closer to Princeton than Brooklyn, and (b) recently got an office job again.

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

I give the fuck up and am going back to bed. No acupuncture, no teaching. Just bed.

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

I think there is bird sex going on outside my window.

It's very loud.

My bird sex killed the thread.

Oops.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"

No, I was out grocery shopping after a week away from home. I now have all manner of delightful things from Whole Foods and Trader Joe's, my only quandary is which of them to eat!

Also I have a week's worth of TV, more or less, to catch up on, but it's also a really nice day out there, enough that I'm definitely going to go out and read on the patio for a while. Maybe I can take my lunch out there....

It's gorgeous here too. I've got windows open and can hear birds singing and traffic noise.

At least we've got a gentle breeze rather than a gale force wind today.

It's nice and warm here too. I wonder if it is in SF itself. (I'm heading there shortly)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I played Civ IV until 4am and slept in with cats snuggled up to my legs. Now I must shower and head out for an afternoon of wandering.
