We have a lot of little downtown festival thingies in the summer here and not a lot of shade. Parasols are the best.
Sorry about the lack of pjs, Dana, and the annoying Comcasty cause of that.
Jeez, don't get all Movie of the Week. I was just too cheap to buy you a real present.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Am on the second person in this support chat. After about 20 minutes, the best response they've been able to come up with to "Why did no one show up between 8 and 8?" is "You need to call to reschedule the appointment."
The hell I do.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I'm telling you, Comcast is the devil.
Separately, I am so sorry about your family friends, Brenda. That is just unimaginably horrible.

I AM STILL IN THE CHAT.

Ew. Bad Comcast. No cookie.
I thought about going dancing tonight but decided I was not up for it. Mostly because I didn't have food in the house, so first I was going to have to go buy dinner, and then eat it, and THEN go dancing...and I figured it was better if I just focused on the "dinner" part.
Anne, didn't you do the "New Rules of Weightlifting" book, a while back? Thoughts on that? Did you follow the diet also, or just the workouts? Did you like the results? I just signed up to get a "bodpod" measurement (it tells you body composition %s as well as resting metabolic rate) and was thinking I might try to start doing more weights type stuff as well as the running (since running doesn't do much for my arms or core).

Evil Comcast.
I have been pleasantly surprised with the delivery of my new appliances: both of them arrived well within the window they gave me. I tipped the guys well, although less for today (the dishwasher), which required less effort than wedging the new fridge through my kitchen door.
So where do we talk about Jonathan Strange? Would that be Cable Drama, or Box Set?

Jonathon Strange seems Boxed Set-sh to me. Where are you watching it? I have my TiVo set to catch episodes as they come available, but it doesn't seem to be playing in my lineup yet.

Working from home, awaiting plumber. Window is this afternoon, but I don't see the point in getting all properly dressed and going in, especially since I have to run out and get cash for the service fee. Vaguely annoyed they don't do check or charge, but whatever. I have bigger things to exercise my ire over.

Today is my one work day this week and I'm so resenting having to be on the phone just about all day. Snarl.
CJ has grad rehearsal today and grad is tomorrow night at Red Rocks. Commencement is going forward rain or shine and the forecast is for rain. Boo.
