Two kinds of crafty bastards

[bironic]

Ventured to Adams Morgan this morning with a coworker to browse the Crafty Bastards arts fair in the chilly rain. (It's fall! Hurrah!) Despite the weather, it was a good time. I even purchased some non-necessary items, such as a tiny crocheted jellyfish from needlenoodles (and now I know what amigurumi is, having wondered after this), a bit of

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, darling! This year I've completely forgotten, so I didn't wish a happy new year to any of my f-listers at all (and I only managed a few emails full of sorry-I'm-late to longtime friends).

Great purchases, indeed. Of course what I bought in a similar situation was an African wooden sculpture of Borromeans rings vaguely looking like a threesome :).

Feynman's personality strikes one as less than lovable from his books, but his gift was definitely unique and we're stilltryingto make sense of some of the stuff he left us with.

I don't know about fiction, but in RL MIT is vastly superior to Harvard. Oxford and/or Cambridge would be a much bettermatch, or Berkeley or Chicago if you want to stay in the same country. And being a female student at MIT... wow. How's the genderimbalance doing? Last I heard, they were still struggling withit (and let's not even talk about professors, shall we?)

Oooh ooh, was Jay McCarroll awesome? He's still one of my favorite PR alums! And he seems like he'd be a sweetheart.
