Jesse, are you friends with Scott G? (ETA: I just checked and yes you are! That's so random, how did you and him cross paths? We both write here and for thrillist so I've known him for a while now.)

If I could live anywhere, it would be a lot of places. In no particular order: San Diego, San Francisco, Portland OR, Edinburgh, Amsterdam, anywhere in Belgium.

today:

made yummy breakfast washed the kitchen floor and spot mopped the rest of the house cleaned the tub and washed the bathroom floor walked down the the corner store for cat food, hard cider, comet and diet soda

read a book, played on the internet

I was staring at a tree from my back deck, remarking on how still leafed it was. Wait, those are abnormally large leaves...it's either a ginormous muder of crows or unkindness of ravens. Too dark to tell. Probably hundreds, hunkered down in the rain.

I wouldn't want to be parked under that tree.

I'm watching hockey, cleaning occasionally, and attempting to declutter. I'm looking at stuff and asking, "Why do I have that? Would I want to pack that and then unpack that if I moved across the country?"

I'm not sure why I still have 3 1/2 floppy disks, you guys. I also need to do some research on how to get rid of old electronics. And check places for eyeglass donation boxes.

I have a meeting tomorrow with a guy who has a position opening up on his team. It would be really nice if this would be a good fit.

If you can maybe get an afternoon of transportation, Best Buy takes things for recycling. Old computers and whatnot. We may possibly have had like five old computers to get rid of in the last move.

Good luck with the meeting. Evaluating whether you would pack up and move your stuff is probably a good exercise whether you are actually considering a move or not.

FTR, that spinach salad + bacon and blue cheese dressing is not bad.

Oof. The guy who is playing Jacob Marley lost his wife a couple of months ago in a freak accident. Today after the matinee he posted this:

During the show, the little guy who plays Tiny Tim, wants to tell me something. I bend over and he whispers, "I'm sorry about your wife". I think he had just found out. I say "Thanks pal" and quickly go somewhere where he won't see me cry. Didn't want him to feel bad.

Oh, child. You're sweet, but your timing sucks.

I just checked and yes you are! That's so random, how did you and him cross paths?

Via erinaceous, actually!
