I met an awesome woman at the movie theater, and we had a great conversation. She liked Star Trek. She thought the Futurama reference I made was funny. She wrote music and lyrics I was really looking forward to hearing her sing.
Then she turned into a poodle and and ran away. And then I woke up.

Weird
I just drove by the CSU Veterinary Teaching Hospital, and there was a large flock of distinctly undersized Canada Geese on the front lawn. Either there was not a single adult goose in the flock, or CSU has been breeding miniature geese and is letting them roam loose on the grounds ( Read more... ) -

Tonight I *finally* managed to see one of the Met's HD broadcasts at the movie theater. I have been meaning to do this for ages and ages now, but somehow I just kept missing dates or even flat-out forgetting that the theaters even *did* this.

Bonus List: Audiobooks!
These are in alphabetical order rather than chronological, just because. I haven't bothered to mark which ones are new and which ones I've listened to before, also because. I am full of just becauses, and that is how I like it.
