Timelies all!
Just got back from a pizza party one of our friends arranged.(She does this from time to time so she can see friends she doesn't get to see often.) Ate too much pizza.
Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

So, our gym bought another gym that has an outdoor pool which is the best! The only downside is rec swim is only for 1.5 hours a day 3 days of the week (and longer hours on the other four days). So pleasant.

Duly noted, lisah. When's your birthday again

I ran into am old co-worker today and found out that my former company lost the contract I was working under and had to let a bunch of people go (including him). Yikes. Glad I got out when I did. I sent him a link to my new company's job page.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yikes is right -- you made a good call, lisah.
Just had nice dinner with family (uncle and aunts and one cousin), AND got an invite to spend the night after fireworks on the beach next weekend, so that's good.

Compassionately intolerant
100% anti-embarrassment. Mine or anyone else's. Can barely stand to watch it on television.
I'm Zen in this.
I can't even bear slapstick movies.

Humiliation is why I don't watch most comedies on TV.

Ugh, stayed up too late last night reading, so I slept most of the day away and missed the farmer's market. I did manage to catch this year's cheesy Hallmark movie starring Kavan Smith, and found out at dinner tonight that the sushi place down the street where I'm a regular (but not enough of one, apparently) is closed for remodeling the next couple of months, with tonight being the last night. No more volcano rolls for me until autumn.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Someone at work just texted me "The Orion is always there." wtf. I guess I've been accidentally included in the seekrit plans. Soon someone will show up to kill me for knowing too much.

Today's mental debate: I'm taking the train to Maine tomorrow. The fastest way to get to that train is the commuter rail, but it only gives me 10 minutes to transfer. The commuter rail is notoriously unreliable. Do I take the longer route and give myself plenty of time?
