Today is full of little annoyances ( Read more... )

I just woke up to the most lovely piece of music! I keep my alarm set for 8:30 because every day at that time the local classical station has Keith Lockhart (current conductor of the BSO and Boston Pops) on. He picks some random piece, talks about it a bit, and then they play it. Today's piece was by Yo-Yo Ma and I missed the name of the second ( Read more... )

It's June for crying out loud. Where is my sun? Where is my warm weather?? If these cool, dark, drab, rainy days don't end soon, I'm going to scream. Or cry. I've had enough and I can't take it anymore!

This was our first truly Spring weekend, and we made sure to enjoy it! We spent most of last weekend with friends, which was great, and I meant to post about it but never got around to it. This weekend we skipped the 501st Star Wars day at Higgins Armory (museum for suits of armor and swords and such), opened all the windows, and enjoyed 80 ( Read more... )

Last week it was in the 50s for several days. The snow actually melted off of most of our back porch. Convenient, since the landlord and his son were out there on Saturday morning running network cable. None of the piles disappeared - for instance our flower beds still had a good foot or more piled on them - but most places you could actually * ( Read more... )

'Cause we need more snow. A foot and a half, plus solid ice banks everywhere, just wasn't enough.

While I'm lying here on the bed attempting to calm down, I might as well post something here. The computer was right next to me and all. Trying to pack for a convention (Arisia, in Cambridge), running up and down stairs shuttling costume crap, all while talking to Mom on the phone is kind of exhausting ( Read more... )

Do I even have a flicker account? I think perhaps I did at one time... *thinks*

I just got back from shopping. Ugh! Well, not completely - it is 60º out. Total freak of nature, but very nice indeed! First I returned library books, then I hit Kmart looking for another gift for Dad and stocking stuffers, plus misc. household stuff like cat ( Read more... )

It's raining, it's pouring, but I have three loaves of bread baking. Two banana in the oven, and one honey white in the bread machine. I love to bake. 10 - 20 minutes prep, and an hour or three later you have warm delicious treats!

Afternoon date at dancer and tk7602's tomorrow. They have a copy of the Star Wars inspired production a local school put on a ( Read more... )

Well, Friday night was a wet, soaking mess of a rainstorm, but after successfully navigating our way to Medford we had a fun evening of dogs, kitties, Chinese food, and D&D. My little thief got mind dominated by a vampire with a bad accent and equally bad sense of humor, but had fun misinterpreting his directions. Well, before she was tackled by ( Read more... )
