Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

Coding and Sleeping

Both kids have strep throat, so my weekend will probably entail getting sick.

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Man, I am starting to feel run down.

That's probably a combination of anticipating your Saturday and the blahness of the weather that's just hit.

Although, that said, I've been feeling run down all week myself, even when the weather was still nice. Something in the MA air?

No serious plans. Dinner with a friend tonight, then I have to take care of some errands (hopefully early tomorrow while the weather is still meh). Maybe try and make it to Section 9 or 9?

“Not dead yet!”

Abby goes to her first school dance tonight.

Other than that, nothing much beyond working on the MS, virtual house hunting online, and trying not to get the crud Nate's been toting around all week.

I suspect I'm failing on that front since I feel fairly terrible at the moment.

New York! Trudy and Tom and I are trying to firm up Sunday brunch and/or Brooklyn book fest plans if any other NYCistas are around.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

I hope all the ones who feel like they are coming down with something, or are being exposed to nasty bugs, manage to get through whatever ailments quickly. Or avoid 'em.

My weekend plans include working both Saturday and Sunday. But on Saturday, we plan to take the residents to the Spam Museum.

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"

Wishes of the day, Trudy. Enjoy!

Cannot scroll back too far. Am just home, after a three hour flight delay last night (we got to the hotel at 2am) and a four hour drive home this morning. Tomorrow I have to go to a wedding. Need sleep! Anyone want to catch me up on what I missed here?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Am I the only one to wish Trudy a Happy FUCKING Birthday? So be it.

I am oddly comforted that it's cold and rainy today. This may be the first 9/11 anniversary we haven't had 9/11 weather.

We are, and it's creepy, as usual.

So I marked it by going to the OB/GYN and getting takeout sushi after. This is some fucking amazing sushi, y'all.

t edit From this place: [link] One roll is the Shogun Roll --shrimp, crab, lettuce and almond roll with ginger sauce/goo on top. The other is an Alaska Roll -- salmon, avocado, and cucumber.

REAL sushi, you perv!

Damn, people, this sushi place is less than 10 minutes from my house, and it opened in 2006, and I just now ate there for the first time. What is WRONG with me?

Now I have to be a good worker bee and do my allotted 4 hours of work-at-home-on-Fridays work.
