Alas I saw a sloth carried off by a great scary Amazonian raptor on PBS Thursday night. It had just escaped a jaguar through fantastic tree-climbing, but this fucker could FLY - no fair.
It was great to see you I'm sorry if I was a grump. I got tired & lost filters. But I am very very glad you came. xox
By lost filters I meant that I was so tired that I heard myself say to Jude, in a completely neutral, detached voice, "I think I'm being really rude." She asked, "by being in the kitchen instead of out there?" And I said, "No, just really rude to people."
I also had a followup thought to an exchange we had about a certain well-known Roommate, which was that, while S & I were trying to be lighthearted about it, I stuck to my guns because I feel that there is an underlying fact in the case - namely that the woman who behaves in X ways & the woman who is making Y dramatic and obviously doomed life choice are *demonstrably the same person.* So if one were to perceive some kind of continuity, say persistent bad judgment, it might not be totally surprising! Though I made the case for bad judgment in crude terms; her idea of "dressing warmly," on 1/20/09, while clearly culturally inflected, also showed a want of perspicacity that had negative consequences.

As for the raptor... AHHHHH! Noooooooooo!
You didn't really seem like a grump. I don't know what you mean by lost filters. And I had a great time and was very glad I came too. Mwah!
