He's doing great! We talked about doing lunch, since he still works on campus, so we're in the same town during the day. (But I'm always eating TJ's quiches at my desk. NEED TO GET OUT MORE.)
He said that he's working on a project where he's collaborating with a bunch of playwrights--something where he's getting them to do a bunch of writing for him. I'm not quite clear on the details, but it sounded pretty cool.
I can't believe how long it's been since we've hung out. I haven't even met his DH.
Tom: when I email him about lunch, I'll mention the delurking thread.
flowering weed from my yard, any clues? [link]
My bedroom now with more organization and new curtains: [link]
sewing closet (with glowy-eyed Sylvester): [link]
I'm going to hang pegboard on that back wall for scissors and notions.
This is my favorite bridge in NYC: [link]
I want your curtains, pillows and lampshade, msbelle!!! LOVE.
I wish you lived closer; I have a shitton of pegboards in the garage.
curtains are at BB&B. Lampshade is Liberty at Target spring/summer promotion as is the sham at the back of the pillows, the other pillows are mostly TJMaxx, with one from our own EllenS whom I miss.
My dad may have some pegboard, but I am going to try freecycle. I am not buying more stuff right now.
Oh dear god - I think I'll never eat Chicken McNuggets again....

Say hello to mechanically separated chicken. It’s what all fast-food chicken is made from—things like chicken nuggets and patties. Also, the processed frozen chicken in the stores is made from it.
Basically, the entire chicken is smashed and pressed through a sieve—bones, eyes, guts, and all. it comes out looking like this.
There’s more: because it’s crawling with bacteria, it will be washed with ammonia, soaked in it, actually. Then, because it tastes gross, it will be reflavored artificially. Then, because it is weirdly pink, it will be dyed with artificial color.
But, hey, at least it tastes good, right?
The description is gross as well, so I whitefonted in case you want to continue to eat chicken nuggets.
Zakim Bridge! I also enjoy the Salt and Pepper Bridge, mostly for its (nick)name.
tommyrot, that explains why the last few times I've had chicken nuggets they made me sick to my stomach.
eta also, damn, between that and pink slime, I wonder if there's any protein at McD's that doesn't come with a side of ammonia.
eta also also, I just now clicked that link and actually said, "OH GOD" out loud. People, be warned, it looks like
