Need to go fetch my mom from the airport in a bit, flight was late leaving, the claim is it will still arrive on time.

Haven't been sleeping very well. Could use a quick nap.

Sunday, May 16, 2010

Last night, couldn't sleep, drove Pickles away with incessant tossing.

Up early for reboots, car's brakes were feeling crazy soft, back in shop. Once I made it home (thanks, hon!), took a long nap.

Was feeling very hungry, made tostadas, feel much better.

Saturday, May 15, 2010

In a funny, slow spin, feeling a bit nauseated.

Need out of current job fairly soon,it is making me feel crazy.

Got a loaf of rye bread yesterday and, while we were out, Pickles ate it. Poor guy still seems to feel a bit wobbly.

Graduation party, show. L.'s going to make cookies.

Wednesday, May 12, 2010

So my mom's coming to visit for a few days in a week or so at my instigation. She's been wanting Frank Pepe's.

Think we're also going to do a day trip to NYC, was thinking Broadway show, but have now realized there is a giant dance parade on the 22nd, so I think we'll attend that. Fun, fun.

Exhausting week, rain doesn't help.

Monday, May 10, 2010

Yesterday, back & forth to & from the Vineyard for some appalling teen choral music, overpriced chow, etc. Was nice to see people. Forgot my debit card at H&O the night previous, made for cash-starved island hijinks.

Work managed to intrude before we even got on the boat back. Spent most of today intruding more insistently.

Made some lazy green chile/cheese enchiladas. L. made a cake to replace the one swarmed by tiny black ants.

Another frost tonight.

Saturday, May 08, 2010

Drowsy rainy day.

Just went through work email, giant flood of spam, free trial sample, gain 3+ inches.

Coffee, coffee.

Friday, May 07, 2010

Pleased to have workweek over with.

Was just out running errands in the beautiful spring day, got a gallon can of Kikkoman, seems like old times.

Back in Nashville, post-flooding, there is a water shortage. Friends there are hawking floodbeard merchandise on the Internet.

May go to Martha's Vineyard Sunday for a choral concert depending on what the kid has to say about it.

Peretz seems to be feeling better.

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

Have to lift Peretz up to my bed most nights lately, otherwise he sits looking sadly on a blanket on the floor.

Sweet old dog.

Saturday, May 01, 2010

Watching Battlestar Galactica again. Streaming quality keeps degrading.

Pleasant evening, show at John Doe, slow to start, show was in basement, hung out upstairs.

Toward the end, Scott offered to show us his favorite possession, if our hands were clean, 1970 Skidmore yearbook, very artfully done. Tried to find out more about it via Internet, found the 40th reunion planning page instead, L & I had fun looking up the yearbook photos of the women who had put tales of their lives since 1970 on the reunion site.

We're kind of tempted to crash the party, it's in June.

Friday, April 30, 2010

Finally got a decent night's sleep. Been having some really unpleasant dreams, including one about Peretz having a hideous chest injury, inspected him closely when I awoke, crazy.

Really lovely day, went & had scrumptious fried flounder with L. for lunch, hoping for a restful weekend.

Wednesday, April 28, 2010

Feeling fucking awful, muscles hurt.

Left work a bit early, fell asleep on couch, woke around 8 to taco night. Aces.

Ball game Saturday was kind of a gas, challenging to pay attention high in the peanut gallery.

Sunday, had to go to work in the afternoon to plug in an ethernet cable. On the way home, felt so terribly sad it was a bit confusing.

Wonder why I'm so sore.

Saturday, April 24, 2010

Heading out to Fenway in a bit, maybe have an extra ticket, wanna come? Lovely day for a game.

Yesterday, believe it or not, did some gardening. Even got a blister on my thumb.

Working on plans for escape.

Thursday, April 22, 2010

Sunshower. Just went & got some taquitos in town, happy Earth Day, fox's wedding, etc.

Last night, impromptu group with Josh & Jess at the International Noise Conference, was a lot of fun, some people seemed to enjoy it.

The tiredness is worrying, too tired to worry too much about it.

Wednesday, April 21, 2010

Week hiatus due to feeling dismal, weak, I know.

Car is operational, had a fun visit with kid, lotsa music, etc.

Flywheel is once again open, pretty neat, bit too much of a rock club, playing there this PM for INC.

Henry & Nancy had their baby middle of the night midweekend, welcome Stella Francis!

Wednesday, April 14, 2010

Overworked, car still in shop, fighting off a cold, bleh.

L.'s been feeling like crap also.

Spring is, however, proceeding nicely.

Cold fingers, been watching birds learn how to live.

Thursday, April 08, 2010

Strange hot days, cooler now.

L.'s off hanging with her hard to schedule things with chum, I had sandwiches & pecan pie for dinner, also exotic soda, what could be better?

Last night, after tending to show at art space, was so tired I blacked out while watching a cartoon, just rewatched it. Less tired today despite very minimal sleep. The power of pecan pie.

Wednesday, April 07, 2010

Listening to a couple French guys make neat sounds with a piano soundboard. Show took too damn long to get started but it's lovely now.

Weird hot day, work less distressing than normal for lately, lovely now.
Work continues nightmarish, my car's in the shop, needs a new steering rack, sounds like. Slept like all that was the case, stomach ache.

Our pal K. has adopted our pal Lyle, formerly Tubby of Memphis and/or Augusta.

All work and no play makes etc., etc. Maybe I should find a nice caretaker position, somewhere remote.

Monday, April 05, 2010

Saw my first bumble bee of the season while sipping coffee on the back porch this AM.

Could use a beverage, dry hum of machines.

Over the weekend, got a Wii, thanks, Mom, whee. L. made me an Easter basket, made me think about my old purple bedroom. Also we went with K. to check out potential adopt-a-dog. Go, Tubby!- we're rootin' for ya.

Soup 'n' game shortly.

Friday, April 02, 2010

Another hellish week, had about enough. Today, our web dev resigned, good for him.

Weather is remarkably pleasant, we're off to Mexican dinner & a show shortly.

Loverboy had it right.

Tuesday, March 30, 2010

While I've been away:



Also, we got a cute little TV for K., who seems to like it. L. made delicious salty rolls. Trying to do vacation planning. Just sent off another job application. Dogs are sick of rain, sick of me, sick of their rainy day projects, and in Peretz's case, sick all over the carpet in the hall upstairs. Red planet take me home.

Friday, March 26, 2010

Waiting around at K's new place for refrigerator deliverers. Fixed her Roku.

Could use a snack.

Thursday, March 25, 2010

Just back from a rather disappointing trip to the local department store, didn't like their selection of ice crushers, they didn't have the replacement mixer paddle I wanted, etc., etc.

Came home to learn from Internet that no one makes ice crushers that I like. May have to hit some antique shops.

Tuesday, March 23, 2010

So no practice after all, Andy had to go visit an in-law in hospital.

Show, though, good show. Could've done without the nearly dying on flooded roads driving home, can't have everything.

Inhospitable uncle. Fried chicken for dinner. Cookies from yesterday.

Twitchy, witchy. Ed Emberley on how to draw Fleetwood Mac with thumbprints and Flair pen.

Got an antique typewriter.

Monday, March 22, 2010

Oh, dearie, another workweek, didn't really exit the previous cleanly, stuff keeps coming up.

Phone is making disturbing beep tone in server room.

After work, band practice, then quiet improv show at Hampshire. Lather, rinse, etc.

Saturday, March 20, 2010

Morning of futzing about with servers thanks to Microsoft's nth iteration of crappy embedded database, ick.

Beautiful day, purple flowers blooming in the yard, Pickles has broken out his sun hat & water wings.

Hideously busy week at work, no sign of settling down.

Tuesday, March 16, 2010

Been thinking about stuff to write, also advertising models. Not actually writing much, obviously.

Neil wants a scifi script for one. One Hell Planet coming up, eventually, maybe.

Also, my hosting provider has broken my website, spent the early AM in support limbo, maybe they'll fix it later.

On the advertising front, the question foremost in my mind is "Why has no one tried to address the degradation of trust & consequently value caused by the chaotic sleaziness of web advertising?"

Saturday, March 13, 2010

A few days of sleepy blur, could use a few thousand more.

Should really walk the dog before the heavy rain starts.

Going to do taxes in a bit.

Thursday, March 11, 2010

What a crappy blogger I am getting to be, how do you stand it?

Working from home, made some matzoh brei, and on and on and on. Possibly I need to be worked up about something or other to get the symbolic systems moving- cheerful, alert, not the least bit worked up.

Band name is 'egg, eggs' BTW, mixed reaction from the guys, but I still think we should go with it.

Wednesday, March 10, 2010

Finally came up with a name for the new band I think I can live with, we'll see how others feel about it.

Back at the daily grind for the moment, after that, no more being in the office this week, hurrah.

Speaking of, could use some coffee.

Tuesday, March 09, 2010

Had some comp time coming, decided to take it this week. Having a nice day off - laundry, recycling, lunch with L, yard time with pups, etc.

Wishing we were in Hawaii.

Saturday, March 06, 2010

Bar Mitzvah went swimmingly, afterbrunch also a lot of fun, at least until the Katz family showed up. Long story short, we're probably not allowed back at the Grange any time soon.

Pickles is in his cups, birthday hat sideways, fur everywhere, keeps busting stuff up, then having a sad, reflective moment mumbling through the first bit of the Mourner's Kaddish. Next event, no open bar.

Need to take Peretz to an ATM to deposit checks.

Friday, March 05, 2010

Pleasant morning working from home, listening to Vashti Bunyan, etc.

Setting up remote administrative workstation for Greenfield folks, running network diagnostics, AOK.

Hoping for a restful weekend.

Thursday, March 04, 2010

Happy birthday Peretz, T.

Peretz wants everybody to come to his Bar Mitzvah this coming Saturday, 10 AM, Temple Kelev Shalom, brunch to follow at the Grange, shrimp dumplings with special spicy sauce, etc.

Monday, March 01, 2010

OK, so, ancient brown station wagon has triumphantly passed inspection, survives to fight another day. In an interesting twist, it is no longer subject to emissions testing due to a change in Massachusetts law.

Just got done repairing amazingly borked imac filesystem, hurrah.

Sunday, February 28, 2010

Nice weekend visit with the kid, went & saw interesting music, hung out, etc.

L. headed off with him to the cape midafternoon, leaving me to nap. After I woke up, witnessed some pretty egregiously reckless driving while smoking on porch (pickup turned onto our street doing at least 40, slammed into snowbank, nearly flipped over, sped away), chatted with alarmed neighbors, made statement to police.

As it got late, wondered what had become of L. Turns out she came home via New Haven to get me pizza, wonderful lady

Friday, February 26, 2010

Went out last night with L. & the kid in a really excessive rainstorm to see this. Pretty fantastic, made me wish I was producing the version of Sesame Street that would have those guys as guests. Maybe I'll get to it.

Decided to defer inspection of car until Monday, have a bunch of driving plans for weekend that I don't want interfered with by big red R on my windshield. Ugh.

Lots of nifty music to go see, hurray!

Wednesday, February 24, 2010

IMG_2673.JPG

Enjoying a snowed in 39th. Have been so far unable to avoid work as much as I would like.

It's an interesting storm, big to unbelievably big wet heavy flakes intermixed with rain, sleet, etc.

Has been an excessively stressful workweek preceded by workweekend of same. Allergies have left the building anyhow.

L. got me a giant poster of Peretz, pretty awesome.

Sunday, February 21, 2010

Still with the scratchy nose & throat. Cough, cough, sneeze. Watching TV with dogs while awaiting L.'s triumphant return.

Still thinking about yesterday's lovely pizza.

Fell asleep on the couch, had some really terrible dreams. Hockey's on, going to go back to watching anime about vampire monsters, I think.

Saturday, February 20, 2010

L.'s off to the island for the 3rd weekend running, kind of wish I'd gone with, only kind of as I still feel a bit ragged & Modern Apizza is on the way.

Doing laundry, watching ski jumping.

Slept for a very long time, could happily sleep more. Been doing network diagnostics on behalf of people not interested in them, getting a bit sick of that.

Friday, February 19, 2010

Car won't be done until Monday, skipping island, quiet weekend at home.

Took some antihistamine, feel funny.
Car is at mechanic, thought it had a problem with cv joint, turns out it actually has a problem with inner tie rods. Ain't life grand.

Finished out workweek from home with amusing network diagnostics. Having what I dearly hope is just an awful allergic to something in the air.

Contemplating weekend island overnight, if I continue to feel like crap, will probably skip it. Would be nice to see people, though.

Wednesday, February 17, 2010

Woke around 4:30 from unsettling dreams with a migraine. Spent a blurry six hours or so, then found some coffee on my nightstand, thanks, hon. Working from home.

Somehow managed to snow pretty hard most of the day yesterday & only leave a couple inches on the ground. Pretty, too bright for me to go outside for any length of time.

Curling is on.

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

Feel like it's time to go over the top, there's a whistling sound & I'm blown to bits, some teeth over there, some bits of hair.

Some time I'm going to get something done.

Lovely, lovely snow.

Sunday, February 14, 2010

Nothing as relaxing as winter olympics on the TV.

Weekend of winter olympics & cookery. Feel much better.

Friday, February 12, 2010

Amazingly, managed a nap.

Happy I worked from home this AM, apparently a brush fire on ridge behind the paper filled air intakes with smoke. Also, in an as far as I know unrelated incident, a homeless lady went into the Shell on Pleasant, bought a Coolata and some gas additive, then went out back & set fire to herself.

Excited for music later, should have more coffee.

Wednesday, February 10, 2010

Been watching episodes of Columbo from 1971, have aged better than I have. Crumpled guy gets the best of murdering stiffs every time, love a happy ending.

Just walked the dogs through the scant snow, better than nothing.

Pickles has climbed on top of me again. How vulgar, Peretz thinks.

Monday, February 08, 2010

Belatedly realized that I had a knee brace for my hurty knee, seems somewhat helpful.

Scratchy throat from yesterday's practice, totally worth it, great fun.

Peretz is thinking about barking at me while, in the kitchen, L. is fixing supper.

Sunday, February 07, 2010

It's funny how much more rarely I find myself using my laptop at home since acquiring wacky computer phone. It's not that I use it in place of the laptop so much, as that it has taken over a range of activities, mostly messaging related, which would otherwise be entrees to further computer use. So, reduction of overall computer use, a bit of an increase in messaging related activities.

Need to do laundry. In a little while, band practice, seems like people might actually show up.

Also, maple cream + brioche bread = 100% win. Add coffee for bonus points, extra credit, etc.

Saturday, February 06, 2010

Enjoying some needed downtime.

Went to Winter Fare, got stuff for stew, also brioche bread, maple cream, local cheese. Lap of luxury & c.

Going to go help Henry with joining remoteless Roku to network in a bit. Studio rent party later.

Friday, February 05, 2010

Morning of working from home, lunch with Henry, now in my room recharging with my electrical devices.

L.'s off to the island overnight.

New coffee maker, may make some coffee with new coffee maker.

Thursday, February 04, 2010

OK, so sounds like my work schedule may in future involve a slightly less excessive amount of unnecessary driving, hurrah, make every day earth day & c.

Also on that front, keep trying to figure out how we might go about better insulating our old brick house, no options seem too inspiring as yet.

Knee keeps stiffening up at desk, v. annoying.

Wednesday, February 03, 2010

So I'm at this house show with all these college kids, weird how they keep coming, wave upon wave, nothing at all like the sea, each seemingly more bloodless & awkward than the one before but somehow never dwindling to nothing.

There is, of course, also nothing.

Show is pretty good.
Nice fresh coating of snow.

Drove to work through misty landscape, listening to the Smiths.

Tuesday, February 02, 2010

Groundhog Day. Can go either way.

Not too bad this go round, chaos at work, tasty pudding, right knee really hurts. Certainly nothing decisive.

Decisions are for when you can't see a clear path, not my kind of thing at all, really.

Sunday, January 31, 2010

Forced to order coffee maker from Internet. Couldn't find one in store that used cone filter, urgh, wtf?

Did get that tasty pizza.
My ambition for today: get a new coffee maker. A while back, the carafe of mine broke, haven't been able to find a replacement & have been using this Sunbeam which, frankly, isn't very good at making coffee. Would also like to get some high quality pizza.

Henry's move in went pretty smoothly, after, took a pass on D&D musical comedy at MassMoca in favor of beer drinking session at H & O, pleasure universe. I got sleepy early & went home, fell asleep on the couch again.

Watching crappy British scifi with pups.

Friday, January 29, 2010

Yesterday woke clogged & dizzy, spent the day at home, recuperating.

Woke today, feeling fine, went to work, lunch with Cooper, then home for an appointment with the fine professionals from Comcast who arrived promptly, repaired our signal leakage & went away again. They did toss a sheet over our wireless router, causing it to overheat, can't have everything.

Snowing heavily in Nashville.

Here, cold as a witch's tit & at least twice as breezy. Henry's deferred moving until morning.

Wednesday, January 27, 2010

Just watched Yojimbo again for the first time in ever so long. Enchanting, & of course the plot is a perennial favorite.

Henry's here, going to get the key to his apartment in the AM.

Dreamt that work would be pleasantly surprising & it was, though not as foreseen. Finally penetrated that voice mail box I had my eye on, nothing like an afternoon inside a strange system.

After two days home, finally made it to bed. Yesterday, fell asleep on the couch again, watching Night of the Generals, odd picture, should watch it again in its entirety.

Oh & the chili coconut fried shrimp at the H & O, oh wow, oh wow, oh wow.

Oh, oh, oh.

XOXOXOX.

Monday, January 25, 2010

There are those, of course, who think beauty all to which art can or should aspire.

Heavy soaking rain.

What's for supper?
Made it back fairly early last night to icy wet Massachusetts. Fell asleep on the couch wrapped in a blanket watching Blade Runner. Dreamt extensively of getting a drink and still feeling thirsty. Woke up thirsty, went & got a drink.

Busy week of cookery and movie watching and visits with friends and family, didn't really want to return from it.

Cold fingers, maybe the coffee's ready.

Tuesday, January 19, 2010

Went & got delayed T. from the airport, went & got more quality beer, stopped by seedy taqueria for some yummy tacos.

Crazy sleepy, need more coffee so I can make buns.
Having a pleasant, sleepy vacation with only slightly excessive work impingement. Car is maybe fixed.

T. missed her connecting flight in Memphis so will be here in the AM.

Very high quality sushi tonight, more steamed buns tomorrow.

Saturday, January 16, 2010

In a motel in Wytheville. Just went downstairs and made myself a waffle.

L. sleeps on, dogs are going bananas.

Just as we set out from home, noticed car was overheating, stopped by mechanic who identified slow radiator leak, gave tips on driving with slow radiator leak, seems to be working OK.

Tonight, Grand Ole Opry at the Ryman, weird, huh?

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Despite falling asleep remarkably early last night, still feeling groggy & bleary & c.

Hardly seems possible, but coffee doesn't seem to help.

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Fell asleep on the couch. Woken by cell alarm from a dream in which picking up a small key had turned me into a marauding giant, shame. Smash, smash.

Had biscuits & eggs for dinner last night, something I feel I should do more often.

Head full of ideas, minimal energy. Did take advantage of early waking to potter peacefully around the house, should do that more often.

Should pick up snacks for trip, should determine cause of slow coolant leak in car.

Shoulda, woulda, coulda.

Monday, January 11, 2010

I notice that if I blog less, L. blogs more. Funny.

Made bbq pork steamed buns yesterday & shared them around. Head full of weird fusion cuisine.

Saturday, January 09, 2010

Henry came up this AM, we went & looked at one of the new lofts downtown. Nice place, they're taking it, whoo hoo!

Went & got free beer tasting from the Pint after, easy living.

Yesterday after work, went for local soda & quality BBQ. Really, happy days.

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

Woke up with a sore back, went downstairs to tend to dogs' needs, bending down to hook them to lines, got a spasmy back.

Went away after a while, still stiff & uncomfortable.

Taco night, taco night.

Tuesday, January 05, 2010

Feeling extremely blah. Vacation can't come soon enough.

Despite plenty of sleep, feeling very sleepy.

Etc.

Sunday, January 03, 2010

Yesterday, artspace meeting, croissant party, work, Dick Van Dyke inspired dinner. Went to bed quite early.

At some point in the night, Pickles came & joined me, Peretz never did. Turned out, come morning, that he'd taken advantage of the xmas tree's departure to snuggle up with the living room radiator. Clever pup.

Saturday, January 02, 2010

Friday, January 01, 2010

Feeling pretty wrecked.

Got in very late from New Year's reveling, got up pretty early & went & did some work. Came home, walked dogs, made raspberry pancakes. Went to Shelburne Falls to help some friends move heavy things into their new apartment. Came home again, made masa patties to top with yesterday's chili & eggs. Walked the dogs again, then spent some time falling asleep in front of the TV.

Going to go to sleep for real now.

Welcome to the Tweens.

Thursday, December 31, 2009

Picked a good day to take off, snowing hard, very pretty.

Show last night was something of a gas.

Need to go get kibble, considering making chili.

Wednesday, December 30, 2009

Am going to sing for a bar crowd in a bit. Grilled some sandwiches, listening to Richard Thompson & the like, trying to find a space in which to operate.

Finding that the proliferation of mobile devices induces a certain passivity, on my part anyway, sorry about that.

Tangy pickles, creamy cheese.

Monday, December 28, 2009

Came home, rested a bit, started laundry, made some spicy soup with leftover chicken, hoping to help L. with her cold.

More resting, cheesecake, folded laundry.

On the sidewalks there is a thin coat of snow or ice.
Went out to get some slices for lunch, people sitting next to me were talking about topics in the population genetics of some variety of beetle.

Still drowsy despite Dr. Pepper, where's the truth in advertising?
In the event, recovery took the form of a 15 hour nap, feel a lot better.

At work, occasionally going out to watch the snow fall.

Sunday, December 27, 2009

While we slept, somebody set fire to something like 4 houses & 4 cars in and around downtown Northampton, a couple people dead, crazy gets old.

Made me rush down to deal with RAM upgrades in servers, figured reporters would be wanting their servers up & running, ugh.

Still recovering from two week sprint, maybe cookies.

Saturday, December 26, 2009

Enjoying some much needed downtime, listening to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway, eating gulab jamun, etc.

Find myself thinking more than I'd like about how tedious it is to be employed by an organ of journalism, helping push forward things that are among my least favorite in our sad little human world, should probably find something else to do, sigh. Halfway wishing I had the wearwithal to start producing tasty food professionally, where my interests and those of the world at large meet, pretty much.

One moment, everything things flat, like a sheet of paper, an inept singer; next, everything is alive with detail and interest. If I got more sleep, I like to imagine, there'd be more of the second.

Warm rest on the couch really does seem do be doing Peretz a world of good, barely any shakiness at all on our afternoon walk.

Had some really good grilled cornbread earlier, served with a veggie chili a tad too acidic, sadly.
Peretz seems to feel a bit better, poor old dog.

Waking up with toast topped with fancy jarred Italian specialties.

Once again, winter storm is a flop.

Friday, December 25, 2009

Watching The Harvey Girls, opened presents.

Peretz has a hurty hind leg.

Happy Xmas.

Wednesday, December 23, 2009

Been quite something of a week, boss away at work, art show most of the rest of the time, looking forward to sleeping in tomorrow.

If you haven't been by One Chevalier this week, a glimpse of what you're missing, courtesy Ted:



Can't stop sneezing.

Monday, December 21, 2009

Another solstice, brighter days ahead.

Hellish day at work, stomach hurts.

Xmas festivities begin tonight, preparing with Ginger ale

Sunday, December 20, 2009

So, no snow for us, vast quantities for Eastern Mass. Wonder if the kids are going to stay on another day?

Got a good deal of art done yesterday, may try to do more today, hurray.

Just talked to my mom about pricing dispute with surly liquor clerks. It's beginning to look a lot like xmas.

Friday, December 18, 2009

Henry's here, off being interviewed for a sysadmin job right now, seems decent, really hope he gets it.

Cold as a witch's tit, but has warmed enough that I should probably walk the pups.

L. is in Woods Hole awaiting the arrival of her pup. He missed his noon boat, kids.

If Henry gets done with the interview thing reasonably early, we're going to VT for pizza. Kid's got a show in town later.

OK, frosty dog walks.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

At a show at Tork Clock, suddenly feeling very sleepy.

Left work early, Peretz threw up all over the living room, made an apple crisp for the holiday potluck at work tomorrow.

Monday, December 14, 2009

Dream this morning: blond realtor lady is in the house having fits & throwing drinking glasses against the wall. 'How do you like that? And how do you like that that?'

Woke from that with allergic coughing fit, still feel itchy.

Yesterday, servers & servers & servers, then snow & rain & ice & gave a little html tutorial & c. & c.

Dogs were very interested in the crusty, yet softer, snow this morning.

Saturday, December 12, 2009

Just after that last post, 'Fox in the snow ' came on & set me woolgathering.

More coffee & an oversized cardamom roll setting me right, on the couch with dogs.

L.'s about to head out for Hudson girls' night out featuring Diane Cluck.
Took hazardous wastes to dump, got some mei fun & an xmas tree, loaded in firewood.

Last night, pretty dreamy improv show @ Feeding Tube, had forgotten those stark industrial corridors. Came home & fell asleep on the couch with Peretz, who seemed to feel a bit unwell. Cold is hard on his old bones.

Listening to Pandora station 'Twee City'.

Friday, December 11, 2009

Making latkes.


Having a pretty OK day off, though I didn't manage to sleep in.  Dog walks, nice lunch, applied weather stripping to rear door, etc.


Also making applesauce & kielbasa with sauerkraut.

Thursday, December 10, 2009

Done with work for a couple days, feel a little dazed.

Made spicy dinner, latkes tomorrow. Chappy cholidays.
Big snowstorm yesterday, walked to the Recorder in the AM, worked from home in the afternoon, ordered in Chinese, lovely.

Losing track of time.

Monday, December 07, 2009

Having fun playing with Droid despite splitting headache.

Cold night, L. made a nice fire.

Sunday, December 06, 2009

Oh my, oh my, that was one long show in one cold warehouse, lucky we brought snacks. For the rest of the winter, every show: mulled cider.

Feeling a bit flushed.

Should really get up & go to bed, unmotivated. Peretz is dreaming.
Made breakfast sandwiches, yum.

Icy front steps.

Work, shopping, show.

Saturday, December 05, 2009

It's snowing.

Just went to the co-op for eggsbreaddonutsbagelscoffee, ran into lady who used to live 2 doors down on Conz with Chloe the dog who was never the same since her man died working in the bake shop, ran into Starpoli who wants some help with a website, sent me an email about it this morning, 'must be in spam,' I said & sure enough it was. Maybe we'll get together tomorrow.

Trying to get back into Inherent Vice, set aside since seaside vacation, L.'s downstairs frosting a cake for later bday bash.

Ordered a Droid.

Friday, December 04, 2009

Have the day off.

Keep having strange anxiety dreams, car crashes, dogs running loose, etc. Not really feeling particularly anxious.

Might go back to sleep.

Thursday, December 03, 2009

Fell asleep on the couch listening to special twee Pandora station. Soggy morn.

Experiencing some funny time compression.

Need to get on with organizizing that Xmas in December thing,

The other night, falling asleep, got to thinking about my rich inner life. Ugh.

OK, dogs need feeding.
