Timelies all!
Flying up to Boston this afternoon for Boskone. Wish us luck.
Come on out, River. The nice man wants to kidnap you.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Travel~ma, Sheryl, and all other traveling buffistas!
Might be worth looking into, Theo. At the very least, I bet you could find a poultry-only share. And you're a little more urban than me, which, oddly enough, should expand your choices. I drive past cows every day on my way to work, but I have to go to the next (more densely populated) county to get my locally sourced meat; I find that weird.

Punishingly Intricate
I should look for a meat CSA here. Although I think the plan is to get a half a pig to share with friends. We got a chest freezer just for that purpose but haven't managed to get the meat to fill it yet.
Last night's slush turned to icy awfulness over night. I'm waiting for the sun and higher temps to do some work before I attempt shoveling again. And working at home and getting ready for my trip to NC. Plus feeling kind of awful. Stupid cold.
I think I'll try to see if I can get the hotel where Bob is staying to send him up a nice glass of Irish whiskey from their bar tonight for Valentine's Day. We don't usually do anything to fancy for it but being apart still kind of sucks.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ai yai yai -- I was just out for almost an hour chipping away at ice, when a guy came by with strength and a good metal shovel and finished it up in five minutes. I hope he's one of the people working on my parents' bathroom, because otherwise, I just said thanks and walked away, and that seems kind of rude!
Two things done off my to-do list, six to go.

Because books.
That's a good idea, lisah. Poor Bob, and you!
Almost France, Jesse! Whoo!
In CSA news, I would like a fresh seafood one, please. Also affordable. Someone hook me up with that.

Apparently there's a water main break on my street. Fortunately, I'm not there! Unfortunately, I will be tonight. Wonder what I'll come home to?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
saying Thank you is never rude. A kiss would have been nice though, you know it is V-day.

I should totally start kissing random guys on the street.

YOU SHOULD!!
I might start if I ever again see anyone in real life that I am attracted to.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
People on local listservs and FB are flipping out like mammals over NYC schools being open today. Meanwhile, other people are flipping out like other mammals over the first group of people not caring that some kids only get to eat if they go to school and those kids tend to have parents who can't take days off so maybe keeping schools open is a good thing, k?
So much flipping out all over the place.
