It's like, in the middle of all this, I'm paranoid that you'll think I don't like poetry.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Maybe they should be dinner.

Yes! We can theme eat. It'd be like having dinner together but from 600 miles apart. And maybe at different times.

Looking back at the Baltimore map, I live right on the dividing edge between one of the few large majority white and majority black neighborhoods. Which I could have told you (if I didn't know from knowing the city and its history) by my Y demographics alone. I'd say more black than white, but just barely, plus a handful of asian and indian (though the youngest demographic is more black.) I go to the Y up in Parkville, and see relatively few black people, but a maybe half and half white and asian.

I'm trying to work up enthusiasm for the salmon and spinach I have in my fridge. I figure with some avocado and dressing and maybe ...something else (beets, apparently!)? It will be yummy. But somehow, I am not enthused. But if I don't eat the salmon today, I think it is no good.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The Event may be too fraught for me. Advertising it as the love child of 24 and Lost tells me maybe I don't want to get involved with this bastard.

Where should discussion be?

Because books.

You may all have the beets allotted to me, with pleasure.

Fall TV is so stressful! Too much to watch! New faces! I'm all aflail.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

INTERCEPTION!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Boston's segregation is so bad, just ugh. There's a note on the map here [link] that marks the city of Lynn, the only diverse place around. When my old job had a team of four girls from there, IIRC, they were each of a different ethnic background. Generally, the teams from various places were all one thing -- all black, all latina, whatever. The Lynn group was one Cambodian, one Hatian, one Latina (I forget from where), one African-American, I think.

On the food thing, when people ask if I have any food issues, I have started saying I eat anything, but I don't like eggplant, just in case! Because I figure, what the hell. No one has yet told me they were planning on serving eggplant....
