A bit of a long shot and random, but - are there any Buffistas in or with knowledge of Lawrence, KS? A wonderful friend that I love dearly will be there for an academic conference in April. She really hates flights so I am looking for things that might lift her spirits while she's there (a good vegan place, general recommendations, etc.).
And the thing is, I like my evil like I like my men: evil. You know, straight up, black hat, tied to the train tracks, soon my electro-ray will destroy metropolis BAD.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Woke up this morning, got in the shower, and heard my neighbor running the snowblower! I didn't think we were supposed to get much snow, and it turns out, we didn't -- just a couple of inches. I just think he likes the new machine. Also last night I was afraid I had pinkeye, but now I think it was just something in my eyeball.
In short, I am at work.

That's a big yes here. I worked in downtown Lawrence until last Friday.
She definitely should go to downtown Lawrence on Massachusetts street, or 'Mass' as people say. There are a lot of unique and interesting shops there, and lots of great food. If she likes beer she can check out Free State Brewery (also a great place to eat) or Lawrence Beer Company (two of my former co-workers are part owners). Just strolling around that area and poking into interesting-looking places can be fun.

The KU museum of Natural History is also pretty cool. It's right the KU campus.

Prairie Park can also be a nice place to visit if she has an interest in nature and seeing the native plants of the area.

No problem. Lawrence is a great town. Very different from the rest of Kansas (not that Kansas is bad)

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Binged all the episodes of Black Books awhile back. I don't know how Dylan Moran was unrelenting curmudgeonly without making me loathe his character, but it was quite enjoyable.
