I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I'm so glad it went well, Suxi!

wouldn't have mattered if I hadn't been there, but it mattered that I was.

Oh, wow, that's a great way to put it. Good for you, Zen.

I had a wonderful day: 5k, Thai lunch, wine and chocolate stroll, dinner. My parents' car randomly conked out when we were leaving their house for the 5k, so I ended up driving all day, but that was fine. We made made it to everything, which was the important thing. I think we ended up one site short on the wine stroll, but we had a lot of fun chatting with the proprietors and our fellow strollers at the 23 places we made it to, so I'm gonna call it a success.

My phone battery died when I was talking to my sister at dinner (my dad let me borrow his phone to call her back, no harm done) , so I had no music playing while it charged up on my way home. Since I had Hey Jude stuck in my head for whatever reason, once I had enough battery I tried the iTunes Radio thing for the first time with Hey Jude as a seed (or whatever they call it) and it's been quite pleasant. Technology, sometimes very nice.

Whoa, exciting night. There was a street rumble in front of my building, I called the cops in. Currently vast numbers of bar patrons out on the street murmuring about it afterwards.

Street rumble? Do tell, Matt!!

I helped a friend unpack her mothers new senior-living apartment and grocery shop for t. And then we went to another friend's and had dinner, and then saw Hidden Figures. Yay!!

Now trying to decide if I want to try to make breakfast movie tomorrow since I have to be down there for a party at 1pm anyway...but the movie I most wanted to see was Hidden Figures, and Rogue One isn't playing for. Real fast movies. May still go to Lego batman as a good time but we shall see.

After being alerted by people yelling, what I saw was one group of guys pushing another across the street and out of my view. It looked like security from one of the bars broke things up, and at least one guy was on the ground from the fight. He got up a few minutes after the police arrived, so hopefully not seriously hurt.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Sounds like good birthdays, Suzi and -t! Yay.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I know so many people doing Escape Rooms this weekend! My son did one yesterday for a friend's 10th birthday party - they had a blast, even if they didn't quite finish the puzzle.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

It's 75 degrees F. In February. The previous record high for this date was 71, in 1998.

Pretty soon there will be giant ferns and giant insects, and the birds will grow to the size of dinosaurs, and the small remaining population of humans will all live in Antarctica because everywhere else is too hot for us.

hip deep in pie

In the opposite direction, they're predicting between 40-70 cms of snow for us tomorrow. Last I looked, we were in the snowiest belt.

On the one hand, we'll probably have a snow day. On the other hand, fuck snow.

Punishingly Intricate

I think we're not going to get any snow this winter.
