Well, that happened
Went to go collect the donation of 3000 CDs this morning. I took 4 members of the library's music team (2 staff colleagues, 2 grad students) plus John. We had one pickup truck and 2 Subaru Foresters. Yesterday after troupe practice I came to the library and yoinked as many empty book-shipping boxes as would fit in my car (25-30?), then went to the ( Read more... ) -
It feels like all I ever do anymore is travel, or get ready to travel
My conference presentation last week went okay. And the weather was gloriously lovely for driving from Vancouver back to Eugene. I could see all the big snowy mountains: St. Helen's, Adams, Hood, Washington, and the Three Sisters. I love that ( Read more... ) -

Well, at least I had two cat puke-free days. -
Kitty yayz
For the first time in over a month, both cats' food bowls were empty when I got home from work this evening, AND Schmendrick started chowing down as soon as I refilled his dish. Also, this was day 2 of no cat puke. Yay! Progress!

Kitty woes
Took Schmendrick back to the vet yesterday. The appointment was at 2:30, so I came home from work early, and he already seemed perkier (I hadn't given him any methimazole since Tuesday morning), and it looked like he'd eaten a bit. He was still a bit off, though-- after I put him into the carrier, he didn't start mewing until we pulled into the ( Read more... ) -
Favorite one-line commentary on the election
From somebody in the election thread in the This Is How A Feminist Knits group on Ravelry:
Binders Senate full of women.
Fuck yeah. -
Insert witty title here
I finally went back to yoga tonight, after a nearly 3-week hiatus since my 30-day card ran out. I didn't mean to stay away, I just had the Groupon to redeem, which required a person to be in the office, and the only classes I've had time to make lately have been the 6 am ones, when only the instructor is there. So hopefully this will mean more yoga ( Read more... ) -
And another one
John Compton died last night. I knew that he had AIDS, and I knew that he had retired from dancing for health reasons about 6 months ago (granted, it wasn't the first time he'd claimed to be retiring, but this one seemed to be doctor's orders, and seemed to stick), and he hadn't posted on Facebook in a while, but still, it came as a shock ( Read more... ) -
RIP
I received a message through the Music Library Association email list that Mary Wallace Davidson died yesterday morning, after a long battle with lung cancer. Mary was the director of the Cook Music Library at IU when I arrived as a new grad student in 2000, and she retired around 2005, though she stuck around campus doing some volunteer work for ( Read more... ) -

I did some runework last night, and left the runes I drew out on the coffee table for further contemplation and gestation of thought. This morning as I was in the kitchen packing my lunch, the kitten came in, batting around one of the rune discs and trilling in delight. I picked up the rune she was playing with: Wunjo. Joy. Of course ( Read more... )
