guess who caught covid from her cousin! :| altho so far it mostly feels like the beginning of a head cold, so at least i'm not flattened like she was. i have to isolate for five days and if you live with someone else the suggestion is to even use different bathrooms, which, ha. very funny. (we have one. which is pretty standard around here ( Read more... )

it's currently 64º, sunny, and (as they say on the tumbls) HECKIN WIMDY. it's spring! we've had a couple good snowstorms, so if it wants to be spring out here i'm cool with that. gonna be weird going to curling when it's medium warm out, tho ( Read more... )

i swear something happened today that was worth sharing but i have no idea what it was. i'm watching the olympics right now - men's halfpipe - and shaun white just fell on his last run. :( he's thirty-five and it's his fifth olympics and one of his competitors was ten months old for the first. that's amazing. i really wanted him to get a medal ( Read more... )

i went to the grocery store this morning, waited in line for about twenty-five minutes (and it was the first time i'd had to do that so i didn't mind, plus the weather was good), and was in and out of the store in twenty. there wasn't much line when i left. and they had...

hello, flist! it's been weeks.

first, happy (late) birthdays to amberdreams (artist, fangirl, overall pretty cool person) and walt whitman (poet and icon). he'd be 200 if he was still alive. :D amber is, uh, younger than that.

in honor of that, have a ( poem. )

yesterday i got a very late start but managed to do some work on my bang before i had to take myself to my parents' hotel room so i could get ready for the bar mitzvah. which was highly untraditional but also kind of fun. my cousin's kid didn't do any of the standard bar/bat mitzvah rituals - no torah reading, no hebrew, no service - but he's ( Read more... )

hi flist, i'm home. :D well, i've been home since saturday but i needed the whole weekend to get my shit together (and stop napping!) and yesterday when i got home from work i felt so awful all i could do was lie on my couch and watch criminal minds reruns and try not to be nauseous. and on sunday i curled for the first time in weeks and was just ( Read more... )

so today it poured rain. :| it started right before i left for work, and in the five minutes it took to get from the office to the t station, i got SOAKED. i had an umbrella, too. but i felt like i'd taken a shower in my clothes. my shoes squelched the whole way home, and by the time i got to my house even my ass was wet. :| i love that kind ( Read more... )

this weekend was somerville open studios, and because it's bad form to take pictures of other people's art (altho sometimes they let you touch it :D ) i took pictures of trees instead.
