Jun. 6th, 2006 05:37 pmI am frolicsome, I am easy
good tempered and free
and I don't give a single pin, my boys,
what the world thinks of me.
Had a pretty calm weekend, existential crises notwithstanding. I've been immersing myself in Anne of Green Gables books for the last week, which may actually be exacerbating my personal dilemmas but is wholly good for my imagination (and vocabulary, which has a tendency to atrophy without a steady supply of Stephen Fry et al).
Except for last night, when I read a really good piece of fanfic. Gotta temper everything, you know.
No progress on the bicycle front, I'm afraid. I need to either buy a good wrench and possibly still not be able to get it, or take it in to the shop, which requires conforming to their admittedly extended summer hours, but my schedule is still weird enough to make taking it in difficult. I'll have to take it in at some point on account of the oddly-sized chain, but it would be awfully nice if I could get it rolling first, on tires which hold air as all tires should.
I buckled down and chinned up and finally purchased my ticket home for Convergence. I am now looking forward to a blissful Tuesday-Tuesday at home, getting in early on July 4th and not leaving until the afternoon on the 11th. I'm going to go see Harry and the Potters play at the new Mpls library on the 10th if it kills me (they're based in MA, and have been around for years, but I have yet to master the logistics well enough to get me to a show). I'll be at Con or helping with Con stuff from Thursday-Sunday, and will also be going canoeing with Dan sometime if it kills me, so if you're in MN (and especially if you're not going to be at Con) and want to meet up, speak up! Joe gets first dibs, though, depending on when he is free from work. Just layin' down the status quo...
Because, you know, I am so popular. If you're only home two months out of a year, it sure feels that way, anyway.
Carolyn and I are planning a camping trip for late July. I'm excited about that. Got to chat about camping with Nick while we were working downstairs, and he has some (far too many) good suggestions. We'll never get to them all! Anyway, I'm going to suggest to Carolyn that we perhaps go up to Acadia National Park in Maine, if we don't want to "settle" for the Adirondaks.
Spoilt for choice!
Ok, my spleen hurts. And I'm hungry. Corporeal existance beckons, interwebs, and I must leave you for now. Alas and alack, you just don't call me back, you have just disappeared. It makes me drink beer!
And on that note...
the hedge abides.
