I made it to Dom's easily enough yesterday, though I did pack and repack a couple of times and then I had to schlep all my stuff up the stairs and down the stairs when the Port Jeff train came in on the other track at Huntington. Sigh ( Read more... )

So yesterday was my 46th birthday, an age about which there is nothing of note except that I'm now one year closer to FIFTY than I was previously. FIFTY WTF.

Since L. had her surgery on Thursday, our plans for dinner were postponed, so I ended up going to see Ghostbusters. Which I enjoyed immensely. As I said on tumblr, I salted my popcorn with ( Read more... )

I have no explanation now of how I ended up following a trail of links and googling to wind up here: Let Us Now Talk Very Seriously About Oklahoma, but holy crap, I do not remember anything but the A-plot from that musical (Laurie and Curley and the surrey with a fringe on top, farmers and cowmen can be friends? and Curley killing Jud?) and I must ( Read more... )

Things! And also, stuff!

+ Captain America: Civil War trailer. Also, the Buzzfeed cast tumblr Q&A. I guess I'll be bringing tissues with me, considering the answers these guys gave, though ( spoilers )

So last night, I had half an hour to kill before I had to meet L. for the movie, so I went into what I now know is the World's Slowest Panera to get a hot chocolate. It took TWENTY MINUTES. I thought I was going to get a hot beverage and be able to sit and read for a little bit, but no, I spent most of that time on line. There were only two people ( Read more... )
