Regret
I love Pavement kind of a lot but I like it less at 10:30pm on a weeknight when I'm sick and it's on a stereo outside my bedroom door. Punctuated with the clatter of pots and pans and off-key singing along, no less. -
An amusing interaction
I just went to the corner store to buy a six pack. I got to the register and checked to see if I had anything smaller than a $20 bill with which to pay, realized I didn't, and handed the cashier my $20. He asked if I could "spare any of those." Assuming he meant my beer (it's not a particularly busy corner mart, and the cashier is young), I smiled ( Read more... ) -
Oops, it's almost the weekend again
I don't want to forget the recap.
Thursday: magnolienbaum was in town from NYC for his roomie's show at the Crocodile. We walked in the sunshine down to Mama's for dinner, then Shorty's for a drink, and then onto the Croc for the show. It was fabulous to see him and catch up and it turns out his roommate's band is AMAZING. Totally glad I picked up their CD. I ( Read more... ) -
Copying from Facebook
I really did Tuesday right. Trivia, the Los Campesinos! show while bonding with Kippy, more trivia, and singing my two favorite karaoke songs (Love Shack with Aaron, and Lisa Loeb's "Stay") at the Crescent. I just hope the rest of the week can compete. -
Special Bonus Not-Recap Edition!
Here's something I can't say in 140 characters or less: I like my city. I like my family here, and my home, and my neighborhood. I love running into people on the street and I love recognizing all the characters between home and work and the places I go to socialize ( Read more... ) -
Fever Dreams
One weird side effect of staying home with a fever for three days: Fever dreams! I've been watching a ton of movies, including movies featuring armed forces, and I keep having dreams that I'm a really inept soldier and I can't save the people I'm trying to save ( Read more... ) -
I don't know why this struck me
I've been reading the serialization of Cory Doctorow's Makers for a while now but decided to cheat this evening and download the full novel so I could find out what happened. I'm almost done; these lines are from the epilogue and I'm not quite sure why they struck me how they did but they rivet me.
They were like gears that had once emerged from a ( Read more... ) -
Lalala Weekend
I don't know what's going on with my poor keyboard but it's been doubling up my "M"s since yesterday. The "K" is being kind of wonky, too. Bah. I can't wait until I get my year-end bonus so I can replace my poor tired laptop. Anyway, just ignore any errant or duplicated Ms and Ks you might see ( Read more... ) -
I know doctors!
I went out tonight for Katie's doctoral inauguration/celebration. I hung out with people from the internet and it was good ( Read more... )
