This is a time of celebration, so sit still and be quiet.

AH! undoubtedly. I want to make a pie today, but it's too hot. or maybe Apricot bars but with almond flour instead?

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

I say you give it a shot.

I started recording Green Hornet because why waste Bruce Lee, but have come to appreciate how damned creepy they can make half an hour of cheesy action.

Okay, I have to go to sleep, but I don't want to. There was this dream Friday night that went all sorts of places I don't need to go, especially with family around. And it feels just around the corner.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It's morning already--it's just not Monday morning. That's when I expect the sting to kick in.

Yeah, good luck w/that.

It gorgeous out again here! I hope the threatened showers don't come when I'm out in the park later.

Let me take that back--Green Hornet isn't cheesy, not in a world with the Batman TV series. They took themselves way more seriously. Moreso than Superman too, perhaps.

Art Crawl!!!

Vortex, I hope you had the happiest of Birthdays! (I can't believe I wasn't online at all yesterday.)

Wasn't that an EXCELLENT Preakness?? I'm all excited for the Belmont now - I want either a Triple Crown Winner or for Better than Honour to have produced three consecutive Belmont Stakes winners.

That's not asking too much, is it?

'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"

I read most of a book yesterday! I don't know how long it's been since I did something like that -- that should give you an idea about how rushed I've been with school and all. Now maybe I can get back into going through the excessive backlog of unread books I have on the shelves here!

I guess it's nice that there's nothing going on in the city/world, but seriously, this is news? Mayor of NYC wears contacts.

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

You'd think with that kind of money he'd be able to afford LASIK.

Yesterday was so beautiful we took the baby to the park and also got ice cream at the awesome new ice cream shop on our street. (NYC ICY! Finally open!)

Today we're getting a babysitter and going to see the new Indiana Jones movie. I call this weekend a win.

not your mom's socks.

Sox, does your little one also have allergies?

Have I mentioned here DH's theory about how you either get great eyesight or no allergies? Granted, he wouldn't know an allergy (or me, for that matter) without his bottle-cap glasses.

She does. Mostly contact ones though. She's been sniffly lately, and has a really strong sensitivity to sound that I'm trying not to read as OMG migraines.

Truth in posting though - the hay experience was following a late night with our houseguests who encouraged drinking wine while discussing mysygeny, womens' politics c. 1918, and the Keepsweet and Eldorado communities. So I was already without inner resources wrt resisting the hay onslaught. The latest round of allergy meds seem to have finally (24 hours later) done the trick. Eiyiyi. ::kicks self:: I was fine until about 5 minutes before we left the farm/barn place - then, I think, I turned into the straw man from the wizard of oz. with added bitchiness.

Although I do bring you some cuteness from the farm. baby goats (with ++hay): [link]

I must have really pissed off the eyesight & allergy deities in a past life, then.
