I Ubered the hell out of Boston today. Seriously, I hit the sweet spot of not much weekend traffic, snow cut back enough so that streets were more maneuverable, and cold enough weather that everybody wanted a ride.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Nice.

Well done, Theo.
Well the handyman confirmed at the last minute, so maybe I will get my garage door opener fixed today. And then I will go to the store so I can make rice/chickpea/feta stew, and surf Craigslist for small kitchen tables.

Aha - while I do not have any non-decaf coffee in the house, I DO have chocolate covered espresso beans. That'll do nicely.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I love that the internet is totally on top of the llama cookie situation.
I baked ginger-oat scones for breakfast today. And ate them with lots of full throttle coffee. Turns out it was the right move. I am now heading into grading without an overwhelming urge to kick people.
But sigh, now to grading. May need more coffee and scones later to get through my pile.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I'll have to work on a stern and steely gaze to accompany the statement, "Of COURSE this is business casual. Please note that it's an underbust corset."
Hell yeah. Bling it up. They didn't say you CAN'T wear a corset.

Hooray!
I think I am done cleaning the kitchen for a little while. Not that it is really clean, but I am done for now. On to the living room.
ETA: actually, on to a cup of tea and the next episode of House of Cards, THEN working on the living room.

I am not done cleaning because I still have not found my damn spare car key.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Am having a successful day, after my train to see my father was 25 minutes late. For one thing, I wandered into a shoe store thinking I could use something low and lug sole, since my snow boots are no longer necessary, but none of my other shoes are quite right. And they did, and they were 50% off, and they fit! Here's hoping they hold up to walking long distances.

AND it is gorgeous outside! I think I can downgrade to my wool coat.
