Sigh. I was feeling all annoyed and grumpy because, as a friend put it, "Pride is like Queer Valentine's Day, and all you see is cute people walking around hand in hand reminding you you're still single". Yeah. So I looked on OKCupid and there is nothing new there...and I thought "maybe I should try match, even though I think it's less popular!" so I went and it made me sign up and everything...and indeed, fewer than OKCupid and many the same as there...and the two people I clicked on thinking "Hmm, could be cute from the teeny picture..." were my one friend's two exes. Yeahhhhh.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We cut the arbor vitae down in front of the front porch, but we can't pull the stumps till we have the cable and gas guys okay the lines. There are still large bushes in the front of the house that I'm not fond of, but our foundation is really high, and I've not been able to come up with a planting scheme that's in scale. Also, the little birdies have established residence, so we can't turf them out before they finish raising their families and migrate for the winter.

I was on a cruise last night with a bunch of librarians who specialize in European languages and a bunch of representatives of foreign presses (so, nice people, but not exactly young or hip) and the outgoing chair of the group ended his speech by noting it was his 8th anniversary with his supportive husband, whom he married at ALA in Toronto, and he got a huge round of applause. So nice. (Although, who gets married at a library conference? That is dorkier than I could have even thought up on my own.)

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Happy birthday, JZ!

Happy birthday JZ!
Matilda looks so adorable.
An hour gardening in the sun yesterday led to a migraine. I tried to fight it all day, but it didn't really leave until I got some sleep. I am a sun lightweight. I blame my ancestors for living deep in a cave.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Love Matilda's outfit!
meara, I didn't even go to any Pride events this weekend, but I totally remember that feeling. Also, in NC, with a side of "where the fuck do you people hide the rest of the year?"
flea just left, so I'm going back to bed. I was out stupid late last night.
