I slept like a rock last night. I wish I had the week off to put stuff away and flail.
Ruby is still hiding under the bed, though she didn't wake me up crying at all last night. First night in she was in the closet, crying and cowering in a corner. I really wanted to join her. Haven't broken down yet, maybe the stress is like a slow leak?
Allyson, there's no rush now. You're in. You can do the rest of it as slowly as humanly possible. You are responsible for the completion deadline--you're the one putting on the pressure.
Damn. It's now snowing here.
You Are Dumb on the OSBP:
See? He's replaced society's restrictive and impenetrable system of rules and codes ruling who you can walk up to and ask for a grope with an entirely new system of rules and codes that, um, let him walk up to people and ask for a grope. VIVA LA REVOLUTION.

I woke up almost an hour after my alarm was supposed to go off.
I was running about 10 minutes late this morning. If I'd gone to bed at a decent hour and gotten up on time, I wouldn't have gotten
completely soaked
as soon as I got off the bus downtown.
By Thursday morning, somehow I need to work, check out 3 hotels for bachelorette party planning, pack --
I do this every time I fly, but lighters are still okay for carry-on, yes?
Hm. You know, I'd rather put together a container garden on the balcony than unpack. Right now, I just have my lemon tree, which seriously needs some repotting. I have to go grab the jasmine on my way home.
(this perception is based on an interview with a local songwriter/performer who ended up with a piece of his being a theme of one of the eps, so not 100%.)
Really? Do you remember who?
In related news, Baltimore was just named "Best Rock Scene" or some shit by Rolling Stone. um. yay?

Yeah, lisah, that could be a two-edged sword. People in Boston still remember what a fucked-up disaster to local music the much-hyped "Boston Sound" was in the 60s.
But I know how you feel, since Davis Square started showing up on Hip Urban Neighborhood listings. Damnit, I moved there BEFORE it was cool.
In other news, I'm so sick of making animation that I'm posting to B.Org in lieu of chewing off a limb.
I actually woke up this morning on my own, without my cat coming in and meowing in my ear an hour before the alarm went off. This is such an unusual situation that I got up and went out to the living room to make sure she wasn't lying dead somewhere. She was fine, just sitting on her perch and looking out at the rain and cold.
I'm concerned about her because I discovered a lump on her back yesterday afternoon that wasn't there a few hours earlier. It's hard, but not like a bone or anything sticking out, and it doesn't hurt her when I press into it and she's just as agile as she normally is. I think I'll take her into the vet's office next payday (I can't afford it right now, unfortunately).

I just missed a meeting because I totally lost track of time while I was working on something. Looks bad. Oops.
