+ Mountain Goats show tonight!!! *becited*

+ It’s very sunny today and we even have a window open. That hasn’t happened for months.

+ We close on our house this Tuesday. Good-bye, all my money! Hello, equity! Or something.

+ I haven’t updated much lately because work has been so busy. I’m still enjoying my new job a lot, and unlike my last job, I actually get to be creative and use my brain. I wish I had more exciting newsroom stories for you guys, but it has been pretty low-key overall and it’s not like I sit right next to the reporters or editors or anything. There’s a TV hanging from the ceiling a short distance from my desk so I get to watch CNN all day. They cover some stupid stuff when nothing newsworthy is going on. The sound is usually muted, thank goodness.

+ I started reading the biography of John Adams yesterday. I bought it in paperback but it is still incredibly heavy. I am a wuss.

+ I watched some of the movie “Fast Food Nation” last night. I read the book a few years back — this was the “dramatization” of that. It started off well, but oh boy did it slow to a crawl toward the middle, and then descended into awfulness when Ethan Hawke and Avril Levigne showed up. Alas.

+ Today we are picking up kudaspeaks and fiberpunk from the ferry and having lunch here in our town. It’s their first time across the Sound. Lovely weather for it.
