So apparently I need to check my privilege.
CACKLING FOREVER.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Ah, Ryan!
In less interesting news, some basil I bought from the grocery store sprouted while I had it in water, so I've put it in a window planter to see how it will do.
Ooh, I hope the basil cutting on my desk is still working toward sprouting. How would I get it home, though? Just damp paper towels?

Today I sorted through a bunch of comics, cleaned litter boxes, scrubbed the stovetop and my bathroom sink, swapped out my old grungy toilet brush and plunger for new versions, swept the office area of the loft, brushed about half a cat out of a 3x5 rug, did grocery shopping, and took a bag of summer tomatoes to my parents. I think that's enough productivity for one day.

Cheesecake update: recipe is a winner, if you like that kind of spongy Japanese cheesecake, but I need to work on my technique as it was a bit lumpy.

Or maybe Franny needs to work on her technique! I mean, if it's her project.
I'm going to NYC briefly this week for a grad school alumni meeting, and just remembered I need somewhere to stay! So as usual, I panicked on Priceline and have what looks like a decent room in a not that convenient location. I mean, it's a good location for many things, but not perfect for my needs. Ah well.

I find this unbelievable ... and yet it seems to be real.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
I didn't read to well, and I just thought it was unfortunate and part of the venue (we have red, orange, green, yellow, silver and purple elevators where I work). That looks like it was hung by the actual convention!

I'm hoping it was a prank?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I also assumed it was part of some kind of color-coding thing, and that there were also red elevators and blue elevators somewhere else.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
My guess is what Sophia said -- it's a huge venue, and the elevators are color coded, and it's an unfortunate coincidence that some are color coded white.
