I walked home from my parents', in addition to walking to! Often the dark + groceries encourage me to take the subway or bus home, but tonight I only had a few groceries, didn't see the bus coming, and it feels so warm out! (40, ftr, but it was 20 last week, so now this is balmy again.)

Survey question: I signed up for an event this Tuesday months ago. I haven't heard anything since, so emailed them today. She emailed back, "You were confirmed on October 2. But regardless, you're all set!" Am I crazy to have expected some followup with details? I mean, now I have to re-google where it is and everything.

In my quest to sample all the apples, I bought a Rome apple on Saturday and only made it one bite in--it was highly unappetisingly mealy. Bad apple, or bad variety?

I've had some decent Rome apples but they do tend to be mealy IME. There's a narrow window of goodness there. Not one of my favorite varieties at the best of times.

One of the things I did today was to buy a lifetime Crowded House Fan Club membership. I am both proud and shamed by this fact.

Today I went to the dispensary to pick up more of my insomnia-fighting tinctures, mended/cleaned/ironed my black silk frock coat, cleaned and refilled a few of my fountain pens, and made cheese biscuits. But the most important thing about today? I met my Dad's lady friend, and she is wonderful. I was predisposed to like her anyway, because she's made my Dad so happy, but she's a really good person. (Our version of good person, that is: kind, smart, and very snarky.)

Kat, do you use a special foot to put the binding on the hospital gowns? Or do you do it in2 passes?

The binding is just double fold bias tape. The snap tape I put on using a zipper foot with two passes, because I figured I could get closer to the snaps that way.

I have a special hemming foot, but each time I use it, I do a terrible job.

Yay Jilli's dad's lady friend.

Why would you be shamed? Love what you love!

I just finished Arrested Development on Netflix. What should I start watching next?

well, mac was able to finally recover himself and we both did exercises during the commercial breaks of biggest loser.

I made 18 listings on ebay today, a 21 gallon bin and a paper grocery sack full of stuff is what I listed. So far only 1 thing has a bid, but from the number of people watching the other items, I think there is a good shot of most of it selling. whoot!

What should I start watching next?

I can't remember -- do you watch Community?
