Back home now. Haven't exactly been keeping up either with livejournal or the real-world news. (American news is full of people I've never heard of and very little about the world outside the US).

Tuesday night dinner was at Blockheads, a typical American Tex-Mex, but one that knew what vegans are. I get Mexican food when I'm in Seattle at the ( Read more... )

Dear gods, I am going insane. Whose stupid idea was it to bring myself to New York even though I haven't finished my coursework, on the basis that I can do my work anywhere? ARGH!

( Moaning about my dear family, feel free to skip. )

Just to let any denizens of New York or Boston know, Richard & I are going to be in your fair cities next week. Yes, I know I should have mentioned this earlier. Really haven't had enough spoons to plan anything lately. I think I might still be somewhat in denial about it all. The Freezepop 10th Anniversary? Yay!

So Richard got us takeaway from Pizza Express tonight and there were NINE dough balls in the box. Count 'em - NINE. And they were huge. All of them were bigger than dino's head, and three of them were bigger than Paploo's paws. And the dough was really fresh and fluffy. See what you're missing? Meanwhile, there you are, stuck in New York, where I'm ( Read more... )
