FLEET WEEK.
I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So there's this play I want to go to: [link]
Except it's $60 + a ferry ticket + 6 hours long. Except that's the cool part, since you hike all over Angel Island.
I wonder if it'll show up on Goldstar?

did you have a cat when I visited last year?
Nope--roomie and I got a foster cat from the Humane Society back in...March? Nobody seems too interested in adopting him, but I suspect their evil plan is to foster out cats and then hope people keep them. Our evil plan is to not adopt him so that we can still give him back if we are on vacation or if he needs medical care. (I don't especially want a perma-cat, roomie isn't sure where she'll be in another year, so...)
le n, option A would be cheaper...but option B involves first class! :)

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Thunder. Hello, Thor. We're about to have another brief heavy rainstorm, I believe. Let's see how the new patio table and the new/old umbrella hold up to it. They are not nearly as sturdy as I was hoping.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
meara, are you going to DC and from there to NO, or two trips, or what?

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
We've had rain/thunderstorms a bunch this afternoon. Mainly while I was on the Beltway. Didn't end up late to my appointment, so it worked out.

as terrible as airplane travel is, I will not begrudge you first class!

meara, are you going to DC and from there to NO, or two trips, or what?
No, sadly the things I want to be there for are two weeks apart--if they were one week apart I'd totally do a three legged flight or something, but no. Using a conference in Baltimore as an excuse to hang out with friends out there and in DC, and then going to Decadence in New Orleans.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
For the first time in my life, I have more money in my savings account than my checking. Neither amount is very large; it's just the proportion that makes me impressed with myself. I actually saved some money!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I was very proud of myself that I managed to bike all the way down the Hudson greenway this afternoon without running over any sailors. Not that I wanted to, mind, but there were SO MANY OF THEM.
