I'm peeved I can't stay late tonight, because my office is perfectly situated for Manhattanhenge viewing.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

The construction guys have finished! The front of my house is looking pretty spiffy... except that now you can focus on the gutters that need redoing and the paint that is starting to peel.
Houses mean never having to ask "What am I going to do with all this lovely money?"

Manhattanhenge
excited - tomorrow I am walking to Central Park after work - I should get some good views. Maybe I'll remember a camera.
15 year college reunion starts tomorrow night. Sad to learn that one of my good friends does not feel good enough about herself to come out for many things. And another friend won't attend until she thinks she's acheived enough. I don't even know what that means.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I am short a flash drive. That's an unsettling feeling. It's encrypted, so I don't feel vulnerable on that front, but it's the flash drive I run email from, so I want it back now. I hope it's just at home.
Guy at work introduced me to the crack that is pivot tables in Excel. Oops. This could be a timesuck.

I wish I could afford to fly out right this second for Manhattanhenge. I totally would.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
As I've recently griped on the Literary thread, British authors of a certain generation are prone to included bits of untranslated French in their text, apparently assuming that any properly educated person can read them. Can I possibly get a translation on these three that I encountered this morning? (I may be missing an accent or two here or there.)
faiblesse dans le deduit d’amour
Je ne hais point la liberté. Je l’ai écarté, lorsqu’elle obstruait ma route; je la comprends, j’ai été nourri dans ses pensées.
Si j’ai seduit Cinna, j’en seduirai bien d’autres!
megan, please let me know if I'm overdoing the translation requests. I'm really grateful that you're helping so much with my WIP, and the stuff above I don't even need. It's just a little maddening to stumble across these things and have some idea from the English context what they're saying, but not to KNOW.
