I once made Cream of Celery soup because I had an overabundance.

I am cracking UP. I bought new running shoes online (rather than a brick and mortar store) because I was buying the same brand/style/size as my last pair. I swear that the picture online made the uppers look silvery grey.

MINT GREEN. With purple-y accents. They are hilariously ugly. I would never have bought this color if I knew that was the color, but I'm not going to the trouble to return them, because they're for exercise, not fashion. I'll just have frog feet for a year.

Green/grey is really difficult online shopping. I have bought things for designers many times that they thought were grey, and when they came they were green- enough that I always read the description and ask if they really want green if I have any doubt!

Timelies all!

Tomorrow we head to New Jersey for Contata, this year's iteration of the Floating East Coast Filk Con.

There wasn't a description of the color, so I assumed...wrongly! They'll get dirty soon enough that it won't look so jarring. They look like mint chocolate chip ice cream right now, though.

Mmm, mint chocolate chip ice cream shoes.

I'm not crazy about the Cel-ray soda in general, but at times it really hits the spot.

Happy birthday Epic!

Good day for an Epic birthday!

Happy birthday, Epic!!

Thank you all! It was a weird day, almost nothing went according to plan, but I tried to roll with it and still had a good, chill day. "Party" (dinner & a movie) with friends will be on Saturday.

Steph, sounds like you made the right choice for you (on Friday plans, if not your athletic shoes). Also, Happy Birthday Eve!

tommyrot, good luck in the job search, and maintaining your health while you're in it.

I'll cut up celery to add crunch to a salad, but it annoys me when it's adding crunch to tuna or chicken salad (which shouldn't be crunchy). I'm very fond of it with peanut butter. But I can't imagine that celery soda would be a thing I would like.

Not commenting on the trial, my outrager is just so tired, and my heartbroken don't-know-what-to-do-er is exhausted.

I love celery more than I love cilantro.

Do they make swim goggles that go over glasses? I left my name and number with the guy who coordinates swim lessons at the community center, so an instructor will get back to me. The guy said I should get swim goggles and a cap.

Snorkel goggles would. Not sure how comfy it would be.

...running shoes...MINT GREEN. With purple-y accents.
