- 19:29 ILU2, MBTA. Being stuck on a train for two hours was just what I wanted.
At least it has 'net, until my battery dies. # - 22:10 home. #
- 15:27 back in swarthmore -- the couches in Hicks are still the same! Possibly held together by 10 years of studenty drool, but comfy. #
- 11:20 @marphod dave & I and trysh&katrina are likely going to star trek though we haven't picked a time/location. #
- 01:24 @marphod makes sense. it was nifty! #

| 5:30 pm | food! For future reference, thanksgiving dinner experiments: ( Maple Pecan Pie ) ( Sweet Potato and Parsnip Gnocchi ) Not sure how these came out as have not eaten them yet; just recording amounts from winging it. ETA for verdict: Maple-Pecan pie good -- slightly less sickeningly sweet than the usual recipe, maple flavor present but not super strong. Sweet Potato gnocchi = perfect in the chewy sense that I like. Parsnip gnocchi light and fluffy and likely closer to the platonic ideal, but I like 'em chewier. More flour would probably fix that -- the roasted parsnips & russets were quite dry and didn't need much flour compared to the sweet potatoes. Current Mood:  chipper |

| 2:04 pm | lol rain Bullet points as see #2. 1. I *heart* my chiropractor -- I'd forgotten what it felt like to have full range of motion in my neck and have it not hurt. Whee! I'd been just about to give up on chiropractic fixing it, too -- all the other times had made it feel a little better but after a day or two it was same-old-same-old. Dunno if she did something different this time or if it was just cumulative improvement, but yay! 2. Between work, work on the house, and wedding planning, I have no time, and no brain. Sorry 'bout that, to all the folks whose events I've not attended and blogposts I haven't replied to etc, etc. 3. It's really raining out there. I'm on wifi at the Arlington Panera, doing my best drowned rat impression. (And am about to close the 'puter and play video games because I need to chill.) 4. Thanks to ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif){kind=small} eustaciavye for using the Horizons salon all those years ago -- it made figuring out what to do for hair/makeup for my wedding a much less painful process. Current Mood:  drenched |

| 12:39 pm | MBTA: don't do that again plz? http://www.boston.com/news/local/massac I'm pretty sure I was on the eastbound half of that last night. Well, okay, the next time they say they're having signal problems and proceeding slowly, I might even believe them. (The reason I'm pretty sure: I'd gotten up to stand in the aisle because I was hoping we'd pull into Back Bay only late-enough that I'd be able to catch the 6:35 bus home -- I'd mostly given up on that at the point we stopped inching along and came to a sudden screeching halt. And then I could see what looked like a train headlight through the front window several cars up and went WTF was that a near miss? And I guess it was.) |

| 4:27 pm | for the boston contingent One: what do folks call the strip of grass between the sidewalk and the street, here? Wikipedia has told me that what I grew up calling it (tree lawn) is a very localized regionalism, which explains the blank looks from garden-store personnel. But wiki failed to tell me what you *do* call it up here. Two: anyone without house pets want a very pretty peace lily? I'd misremembered which things were/weren't toxic and they were on sale and gorgeous. And highly toxic to cats, so it's been exiled to the porch. We spent $15 on it but anyone who wants it can just have it. |

| 3:03 pm | the walls were shaking / the earth was quaking Jackhammers running *inside* the house you are in is a strange sensation. (Nothing to worry about; basement renovations.) Current Mood:  amused |

| 1:56 am | blogging is a spectator sport list of links to instant rimshot etc, for the blogathon peeps: http://www.downloadsquad.com/tag/instan also, quotes: "the one where I hate all the characters" "...Medea, or Wuthering Heights?" some_kitten and tikva....it was funnier in context. not that that isn't always the case with these things. |

| 9:52 pm | Blogathon: anyone besides eustaciavye doing it? Before I make an account and donate, I need to figure out who all I'm donating to. Since I have a number of dollars and will divide it by people as they're all worthy charities.I thought about doing it, but I don't do all-nighters + writing well at all. I never did a single one, really, in college, though I occasionally stayed up after a 3am paper finish if it was the last one and I had a greyhound to catch in the morning, as being sleepdepped on the bus is the only way to sleep the ride away. tl;dr, anyone else want money for rambling in their journals? |

| 9:06 pm | even after april / my god there is no excuse for may e. .e. cummings has always been my favorite poet, ever since I was small, but the one thing I never understood was his obsession with spring. As I get older, it makes more and more sense with each passing year. Things bloom and things grow and become green and perhaps it just helps that commuting outside means that I no longer get the series of sun-overdose migraines because I get more sunlight earlier. Our yard is still kind of pathetic, but I am slowly getting the hang of it. Gardening, at least the way I am learning to do it, is a lovely hobby for my ADD brain -- I can flit from one bit to another as things annoy me, and as long as the basic cleanup gets done at the end, it doesn't even matter if I finish some of the tasks. The rhododendrons look better for the deadheading I did; it's not done, but the next time I walk past I'll pull another basket of heads off. I finished trimming the bushes that were trying to jump the fence from the neighbors, which I started last week, and I yanked many weeds out of random locations. There will always be more weeds, but it's quite satisfying to rip them out. I have tea and pajamas and spent over an hour gardening in the rain and it was glorious. Current Mood:  content |

| 2:52 pm | Okay, placeholder post here for me to keep track of places we want to eat because we keep staring at each other going "what should we do tonight, brain" and I'm never around the paper list when I find things. (Feel free to make suggestions in comments but this is mostly just me talking to myself and using LJ in a not-what-this-was-intended-for way.) places we haven't been: Fuloon, in Malden: supposedly good and more-authentic-than-usual chinese. cafe st. petersburg, newton: russian machu picchu, union square: peruvian oleana, inman: middle eastern fancy koreana, central: korean four burgers, central: lol burgers highland kitchen, somerville: upscale whatever grotto, north end: yeah, it's the raw food place places we have gone recently: Habesha, malden: surprisingly good ethiopian in a little hole-in-the-wall Also, happy anniversary, David. <3 Twelve years is a long time. Long enough that we've forgotten to set up anything interesting to do on our anniversary. :) |

| 12:58 pm | Dreamwidth I'm not planning to migrate to Dreamwidth. I have namegrabbed over there as I am not the only person who goes by antimony on-line. If I end up using it at all I'll crosspost. But the main thing I'm here to say is that I have invite codes, if people want them. First-come, first serve, feel free to ask for a friend-of-a-friend's-roommate's-dog so long as they'll use them. Just get an email address to me and I'll get a code to you. (Comment here, emailing antimony at lj, PM, whatever. It all ends up in the same mailbox.) As for actual journal content: argh. that's really all I've had to say lately. Stress has been grinding me under. |

| 11:07 pm | yes, I am a sheep I have a twitter account, though I don't currently plan to do anything with it. (If I do, I'll set up LoudTwitter or something to crosspost.) username is antimonysarah since antimony was taken. Current Mood:  cheerful |

| 8:28 pm | Four grocery stores, no potato starch. what kind of a city are you, boston? FAIL. No sponge cake for you. At least the cabbagething only needs matzo meal, which was a) findable and b) is makeable if not findable. Sigh. At least that means bed earlier tonight, but I like baking. And Passover baking is a fun added challenge. (And David is a sweetheart as usual as he was the one who hit up four groceries for me.) Also, now the cats are licking matzoh meal off the floor. |

| 4:29 pm | call for birthday mob Because 30 is a scary number, I'm actually calling for a birthday mob. March 31st (yes, a tuesday night), 7pm, at Eastern Standard in Kenmore Square. Note: I will not be allowing people to cover my tab, as part of the reason for picking ES is they're supposed to have a fabulous set of bartenders and I want to try interesting cocktails without feeling guilty. Also, ES is expensive and I'm still employed. RSVPs needed as I'll be making reservations at some point. Current Mood:  getting over a cold |
