Since I am in the middle of putting away laundry (I think I did laundry… two weeks ago?) I of course had to stop to find something to listen to that isn’t the Throw Me the Statue and Bishop Allen and Chanticleer that are all I’ve been listening to lately. And so I came across the student-written musical I was in senior year. I’m only part-way through one song, and it is...

I woke up, bright-eyed, bushy-tailed, and alarm-less at 8:30 this morning. The day was bright and cold and full of possibility. But by 10am, after a bowl of cereal and an episode of 30 Rock, I was ready for a nap.
What’s getting me off my butt as soon as I hit send on this thing?
I’m pretty sure that Car Talk is on now.
This is why it's so hard to cook for anyone else.
Here is what I had for dinner tonight, post-gym and -foodshopping:
2 Whole Foods samosas w/ yogurt
some yogurt and Kashi
peanut butter pretzels and a glass of soy milk
Not a ton of vegetables, but otherwise a satisfying, if very full-making, three-course meal.
I am not fit for other human beings!

It feels so anti-Star Trek.
Is it very old ladyish of me to like a physical, clicky keyboard?

“I only had seventy dollars to live on and I donated fifty.”

And then it occured to me that maybe one of the weird things about Meg is that she has never seemed to know this. Neuroticest waif of a cat ever.

For everyone in Astoria freaked out about the MTA...
ohhleary:

As for those of you who head uptown from the 2nd Avenue stop on the F/V - well, you’re screwed. The V is being rerouted and will stop at Broadway/Lafayette and Essex...

This may be what ends up breaking my heart.
We’re getting close to the point where we’re not going to be able to accept any more donations earmarked specifically for Haiti. We set our limit at something like the two-year budget for the emergency response/ongoing relief, and our projections have us damn close to that by now. Already for the last few days we’ve not been taking Haiti-restricted donations online. Online...
