So, the compressed recap.
Went to Portland. Met. Ate. Hung out with people, including a great sunday evening conversation with
alphaskye.
Came home on the monday morning train. Was sick after three days of early mornings (ok, 9am is early for some of us) and too many cat alergens all over me. Took a cab home from the train station. Picked up the sick Powerbook. It was better enough to boot and burn a backup CD. Went to class monday night and took my midterm. I think it went well.
Yesterday I took the still unstable Powerbook back to the shop. Saucy came over and we watched Tortilla Soup, a Latino remake of Eat Drink Man Woman. EDMW was better. Also, we ate edamame.
Today I picked M up from the airport after 24 hours traveling back from Quebec and the Ice Hotel. Sounds like a crazy experience. Good to see her. We haven't just hung out quite like that in almost a year. It was more comfortable that it's been in a long time.
Went and saw Adaptation with
agentcooper. He loved the main character; the intro dialog could have been lifted out of his journal.
Went over to Saucy's place tonight after dinner feeling grumpy and depressed and useless and hopeless about this whole jobless and broke situation. She met me with flowers, hot tea, chocolate dipped strawberries, and a very sweet card. It made me feel better. Now I'm home, tired, ungrumpified and going to sleep.
