Birthday happies to Amy and Alex! Conveyer belt sushi sounds like a good celebration
Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Happy Birthday Amy and Alex!

I have booked plane tickets to SF for the memorial! Next: hotel.

And hotel booked! Yay!
The rest of the weekend’s less-fun tasks are doing our taxes and sorting out Dad’s medications.

It's also Alex's birthday--he's 20 today, which is making me feel all the usual cliches about time going by too fast, etc. We're taking him out for lunch at a conveyor belt sushi place to celebrate.
Is that the one by the movie theatre? (TWENTY?????? I mean, Squeak's nineteen in a week. So.)

Because this is one place where said child is never going to see it, she is getting a comical amount of, err, lesbian flag-themed birthday gifts. I might've gone a touch overboard, but she's trying to be somewhat more blatant about it. I mean, it's not all she's getting, but it's certainly a theme. (I've taken to calling her current core hangout group The Gay Agenda.)

Aww that’s adorable, Plei.
I cannot believe it is 330 and I am awake and just got home! No real shenanigans but was DJing until almost 1am and then hanging out with folks at the after party. This morning was rough…tomorrow (today?) morning is probably going to be worse. Oops.

Yesterday I got a haircut and then went straight to an outdoor wine tasting with some friends. It was a glorious spring day—sunny and cool. Because it was cool I probably stayed in the sun longer than I should have, but only got a little pink. Then I came home and potted up 15 jade plants from the one that fell down and became a jade plant nursery a few years ago. I’ve already given away 9 to friends and coworkers. 14 will be going out for members of the local Buy Nothing group to nab, and I’ll keep one.

Train has not moved in about 12 hours and probably at least 3 more before we can. So this is not going according to plan. Winter Park, CO is very pretty in the snow, though
