Still boxes everywhere. Nowhere to put anything else. Please, no more loveseat? Also, does anyone want an ugly-but-relatively-functional sewing basket? How about a pair of khaki stretch corduroys from the Gap? They are ostensibly a 12L, but all my other 12L's fit me and these don't, so I would say more like a 10L. Also a three-drawer rubbermaid thingydo. It's white and about a foot cubed. How about onea' them double window-fans? Or, I don't know, some crap. Take it off my hands. Pleeeeease.

This one, Mom, I blame on you. If something is still useful to someone, I can't possibly throw it away. I can't even just put it out in the alley and hope someone will take it. Fuck, it took me two years just to get to the point where I could throw out plastic zipper bags, and that is mostly because I don't have a good way to dry them unless I wash a wooden spoon at the same time. I BLAME YOU.

Also, why does Medica send me these "explanation of benefit" letters every time I even think about going to the Dr? How much paper do I really need in my life?! Just for them to tell me that my health insurance is absolutely worthwhile, but that if I want to appeal their decision to pay for everything, I should call the number listed below.

Meg and Brixton and I were supposed to have knitting tonight, but I think I did more rows on the bus home than I did this evening. We got to Meg's about 7:30, got mauled by her "cat," and were informed that there was no food and she hadn't eaten and maybe we'd like to go to this new pub by her house. It's on Selby at Fairview, called the Blue Door, and they have excellent food, quite reasonably priced. But also, not a ton of room. Also also, big TV's set to the Twins game. So it took a hell of a long time for us to get a place to sit. But it's a nice place. They have juicy lucys made with bleu cheese and garlic. And beer-battered green beans. And "soup of the jour." Which is either funny or depressing.

I don't like the fact that my lips are already chapped, or that my skin has a white sheen from being too dry, or that we seem to have skipped "the sun sets at 8" in favor of "the sun sets at 7," but I love that I get to wear sweaters and sleep with my comforter and that the sumac on 94 has gone all glorious on us.

But I'm totally going to freeze my butt off in the Boundary Waters, because Dan and I are going again in 2.5 weeks. Brave or stupid? EP 16, Moose River N. Probably have to wade the whole river, but Nina Moose sounds good. We'll see how far we get from there. I think we're taking the canvas tent with the stove. Heated tent. FTW.

I 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...
