I guess we weren't too badly out of tune on Sunday after all
It's a beautiful sunny day, the milk jug at Wawa had a cheery "Enjoy your coffee!" message inked flamboyantly on the cap, and my favorite Howard Jones song (ah, those were the days) was the last thing I heard on the radio before I parked my car... and hey, there's a request in my email from a musician who does the faire circuit and wants to pay for ( Read more... ) -
The house has won
Fantastic weekend, which I will detail at some future point so as not to forget about it, but... mostly tired right now. Oy, so very tired. The sprout has taken to waking up and calling for us several times a night for a variety of reasons; last night she was up at 2am because she was scared, 5 because she was hungry, and at 6 she came in our room ( Read more... ) -
Brains
It would make life so much easier if humans were Star Trekkishly psychically empathic, wouldn't it? I don't want actual telepathy, of course -- clearly that would be a nightmare. Just a nice little extra awareness of general emotional state, kind of like a "Detect Intent" spell.

Well, that was a nice weekend!
On Friday night, I took redshinma out for sushi and ice cream to celebrate his birthday. Saturday, the mini-monkey and I took the train downtown (along with a whole slew of other little girls in fancy dress) and met auntiero at the Academy of Music for the new Peter Pan ballet. That was very, very interesting -- it was "psychological ( Read more... ) -

Some of us are asserting our opinions and independence rather strongly these days...

I got a fever, and the only prescription is more rauschpfeife!
Hey, look, I'm at work! I haven't been since mid-Friday afternoon, because I got sick. :P Despite which, I hauled myself out to the New Hope Ren Faire on Saturday to play with the band. Given that John had a damaged ankle, Butch was badly overheated, Melissa had just flown in from Europe the night before, and I had what later turned out to be a 102 ( Read more... ) -

OK, I'm exploring. :) I'm not exactly a hardcore fan, but have been meaning to reread the books more leisurely for detail rather than for OMGWHATHAPPENSNEXT!... and I'm enjoying the website so far. Sorting Hat imminent!
