Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Happy birthday Aurelia!

Much ~ma, Epic.

Gary and Mr. S are here at the con. Sounds like the trip was not good, but avoided the ER. Sigh…

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Last night's shabbat dinner was a success. A friend who participated texted me today to ask if we'll be doing more of this and if I think this idea of casual meetings with friends will persist. I gently reminded him that this idea was called "having a normal life" and it's not just an initiative, it's how we stay sane.

This reminds me of an Israeli rom-com I saw in the 90s, which I'm sure I'll never be able to identify, but folks were going about their lives with gas masks on hand, etc.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I'm about to finish off a very tasty slice of chocolate cake from Magnolia Bakery. I've otherwise been enjoying a quiet day at home since next week is full-speed-ahead on A Christmas Carol load-in.

Epic, so much spine~ma to you.

Shir, I hope your migraine has abated. Thank you (and Nilly) for continuing to check in and share your thoughts here.

Happy Birthday, aurelia!

All the ~ma for your lumbar puncture and tests, Epic!

I did nothing for most of the day (headache this morning) and then drove to the burbs and bought some hair stuff and spent a bunch of money at goodwill. And I could go out to a Halloween party but I still feel lazy and don’t have a costume. So I am on the couch. I feel very boring but…oh well.

"Cry havoc and let slip the boobs of war!" -- Miracleman

I went to a Bizarre Bazaar today on one of our pedestrian streets. After, ended up going to a UConn Hockey game (we lost, despite a 5 on 3 and even I know that was bad), then to a brewery for food, but after we ordered nachos, the kitchen decided to suspend orders because they were backed up, so we left and ordered pizza. Hung out on my rooftop for a while with the firepit, but got cold and windy, so then hung out at my friend's apartment and now I'm home. Tired.
