I am going to see if tomorrow is a good day to go see Darkside. It had better be soon. Time with him unlocks my whole system. We can get our geek on.

If I never call, this does not necessarily mean that I do not love you. It may mean that I do not think of calling because of schedule mismatch or somethin

The parking lot is the safest and sanest place for me to take an extended walk at this hour. I am safe outside when fresh but sloppy when tired.

The little Fayoumis, my virtual nephew, looks so grown up now. He is 10. That is way old. He was just 4 ... Time is a really weird delusion.

Bounce a graviton particle beam off the main deflector dish..

From a pump-and-dump scam spam:
"These stocks are highly volatile, and you can lose all your money. They can trade very high and very low in minutes; we suggest if you are not a savvy investor you sit back and watch."
I think I'll go ahead and do that.

Today at work there was a very short conversation in French between two or three people. I was amazed and delighted at how much of it I was following. Then, it was a very simple conversation, along the "Hey, do you speak French?" "No, a little bit." "My friend and I do," lines. That's about the limit of my listening-French, but it was good to hear that I still have those words and can follow when someone else is talking. It was an "I ought not to understand this because I don't speak this, but I'm tracking it" sort of moment. I was delighted.

I was cooking acorn squash last weekend for the first time ever. My mother used to bake them all the time when I was growing up, but I had never cooked one myself. I knew that you have to separate the soft tasty bits from the rather nasty rind, but I wasn't sure how to do so. I decided that perhaps if I mashed it like a potato, that would work. But I didn't have a potato-masher in my kitchen drawer. I was not daunted! I took up a melon baller in one hand and a wire whisk in the other hand and set to with a will! I smashed the squash clumsily with the wire whisk in my left hand and scooped it out (even more clumsily) with the melon baller in my right hand.
Yes -- I made a gourd-awful mess.

appalled sheep. Today is plasma. Will call Darkside later to see if he's back. Reading beguilement again. Lois captures the magical effects of NRE well.

Going to Ikea to check out futons. Then maybe visit a blonder half.
