Also, I need to hang around livejournal more often because my friends sometimes say really smart things on it. Check out passionandsoul's post on Hacking Our Tech, or Our Tech Hacking Us:

The weather has been fantastic this weekend - unseasonably warm, sunny and 65 degrees with a light breeze both yesterday and today. This was particularly relevant today because I spent the afternoon at the Bears game...

babies_are_evil had gotten tickets to the game, and through some twist of fate, none of the guys were available. So it was myself, her, bittergem, and cosmichic ( Read more... )

I said too many nice things about the trains yesterday and today. Tonight, the train was half an hour late. But the conducter was really funny about trying to get us all on the train as fast as possible.

Finally managed to have lunch w/ whitefjords today. We had really fantastic pitas/kabobs/falafal at a place called Yaf Yaf-yum. Good to catch up.

Good morning! With a whole day of singing and fellowship under my belt, I am feeling much more like myself. Happy belated Halloween to all - I hope that you had a good time, and that you've recovered from any partying you did ( Read more... )

Did you guys have a good labor day weekend? I did. Cleaned a bit, read a new book (Tipping the Velvet by Sarah Waters, which I loved all to pieces; her period details are wonderful), wandered around the neighborhood and hit the farmer's market. BBQ'd with friends, had bittergem over for curry and movies (3:10 to Yuma and Sin City), went to a free Poi Dog ( Read more... )

Lex has gone off to visit his folks, and the house is very quiet now. I mean, it has been very quiet most days for the last month, but it is always different knowing that he won't be home later ( Read more... )

This weekend, this journal is going to be PACKED with food and food-like things. Which is, of course, totally different from every other weekend around here. *snerk* aces_hi is visiting, and this always results in a great restaurant orgy. We're keeping it low key this weekend, though. So after picking her up from the train, we spent an enjoyable hour ( Read more... )

Happy (belated) Thanksgiving to you all! Today, I hope you are either hiding out from the retail hordes, or that you successfully hunted and slew your bargins in the wee hours of the morning ( Read more... )
