Saturday night.

It's awfully quiet out here on the Internet tonight. I'm bouncing around trying to settle down and edit a story.

Is anyone around? Am I in the wrong time zone for this sort of thing? How does one attract company, anyway?

It's sore as in 'painful' by the way - a five-hour walk will do that, even in a city.

Hi Hannah hi hello!! We are in the middle of Z bedtime--Grandma and Grandpa are reading stories right now--but I imagine I'll be back once she's down and my nighttime tea is brewed...

Hi there!

Mmm, tea. I ought to get some in a bit, even if it means having to stand up to move to the kitchen.

We just finished up doing Earth Hour (turn off the lights for an hour). We had a late start because of not getting back from walking the dog until after 8:30.

Why such a long walk? Was this one of your wonderful urban rambling trips?

Yes, it was. I took the bus to the far North side of the city and walked back from there - it would've been four miles, but I kept making side trips.

in paris i learned that the french have a word for this activity. They call it a "dérive" -- it means drift.

I tend to experience such things whenever I go past a store selling books. It's a very distinct parabolic arc.

attracting company can usually be done with food and/or beverages.

*g*

okay, yeah, true but also joking. me, i usually use an "anyone out there?" post like, well, this one.

I've got wine, tea, and chocolate - what more do you need in life?

And crepes. But not at the same time.

Also cheese. *g*

We've finished dinner and are sort-of-not-watching a movie on Turner Classics called Letter From an Unknown Woman. It has a young and handsome Louis Jourdan in it.

Hi Nightdog!

I heard that I may be getting a letter from an Unknown Woman...

NO WHO TOLD YOU?

Heh. We've changed channels (Letter was too slow) and now we're watching Tom Hanks run around Vatican City in Angels and Demons.

I'm poking at the Internet, hoping motivation will come out of it. Since nothing's happened yet, I'll put on some music instead.

i don't know who that is, i'm afraid.

i made noodle soup and, while it cooked, got help re-gluing the bit of velcro attached to my thumbnail. this required superglue, a product i am currently in no state to handle, so Craig (roomie's bf) applied the glue and then i had to carefully hold the velcro in place w/my right thumbnail while it took what seemed like for EVAR to dry.

"you realize," said Craig, "if you glue your hands together i'm gonna laugh and make fun of you."

"nothing i'm not used to," i said. "you don't know what kind of friends i have."

AHAHAHAHA. HA. :)

The Mr and I are watching the Amazing Race, as I'd mentioned. One of the tasks is to choose between hunting for a bunch of grapes in a square kilometer of winter-sparse grapevines or using exactly 680 champagne glasses to create a tower 15 levels high. The Mr and I weren't sure which one of those tasks we would want to do, so we got out the paper and tried calculating what shape you'd need to make a champagne-glass tower, and we discovered it has to be triangular.

Not to say, if we were actually in that situation, we would have actually picked that, but. It was fun. :)

Hi! I have returned! I have peppermint tea and a cookie, and we're watching the Amazing Race--they're in France at the moment. :)

Hello again! Still no tea for me, but I'm going to see about a bit more editing.

And I'm about done: except for two extended medical bits, which I'll ask someone else about later, I think I've hit everything. Want me to send it over?

I was asleep or else I would have been here to entertain you.
