I'm IMing asking "Have they shown up yet? What's happening?" I feel so out of touch. Grrr.

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

Is it the same people as Jaleo?
Hmm, maybe. The chef at Zaytinya was on Top Chef last season. He was kind of a dick, but apparently a good chef.

The weather variance is super crazy right now. It was snowing, then yesterday it was 66 and who knows what's next?
My bulbs are all coming up, and it's clear some of the ones I thought were dead and overplanted were not dead but only pining and they're baaack so now I have some areas which will have interesting arrangements. If the rabbits allow.
The SO cleared a bunch of our beds and mulched so it looks nice.

Not that it matters, but they have a good gluten-free menu. I really enjoyed it the one time I visited.

It's a brief stroll north on 7th st from the Metro. Good sandwiches...the crab cake is apparently legendary, and awesome fries.

“Not dead yet!”
Barb, did you get a dress for the wedding?
I did, Kat. I took a risk and ordered the Monet Dress from Pyramid, mostly because you lovely people assured me I could actually pull it off. (I think it was mostly Amy who assured me.) It arrived yesterday and I haven't had the nerve to try it on yet, but I'd best get on with it, in case I need to go to plan B.

If you're going to have a nosebleed, I guess the best place for it to happen would be in the shower.

My new office people have never used IM for work stuff. I've mentioned it subtly a few times but no one has followed up. but I don't want to be the new person changing everything on the first week.

We've recently started using it. Creates a slightly different dynamic than email, which is interesting. But also, related to the work from home discussion above, it gives you Big Brother-like powers to check up on people since it monitors your status (free, busy, away etc.) They may not be able to tell if I spend the whole day reading recaps on TWoP (not that that would ever happen), but you can see if it's been longer than five or ten minutes since you touched your computer.
