Way to go, Jesse! I am debating ordering Chinese food to pick up.

No pre-holiday early release today, I guess. Oh well.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Tim's nephew has a BBQ business as a side gig (like a food truck, but not in a truck) and he sets up at local brewpubs and does a pretty good business.* So his BBQ gig tonight is at the brewpub in our neighborhood, and we usually try to go out and give him business, but I'm honestly not feeling it for BBQ tonight. OTOH, it would mean I wouldn't have to cook, and that's always a good thing. But we have to leave in about 90 minutes for Black Panther, so we need to decide soon.

*(I don't even know how he has the energy to work a full-time job, have a relationship, parent 4 kids [1 of which was just born 3 weeks ago], AND do this BBQ side gig. I'm trying to remember if I had that much energy when I was in my early 30s. Maybe?)

Mm, BBQ sounds good. I'm actually full of sushi lunch, though, so may not need any dinner.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Strix!

We are at Boskone, having survived the 8 hour train trip. (Twice as long as flying, but half as aggravating.)

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I half expected Black Panther to be sold out tonight but I got a ticket! I should even have time to eat and get there early enough to get a decent seat.

I've got chicken soup in the microwave, but I'm catted. It's a dilemma.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Good to hear, Suzi!

Congrats Strix!

I'm watching (And more importantly, listening to) a documentary about Maya Angelou on PBS. I've missed her wonderfully evocative voice.

Thanks, all!!

We celebrated V Day and our new house tonight. We haven't gone out for V Day or our anniversary in 3 years and we had the fanciest meal I've ever eaten in my life and it was so goddamned good and we spent a little too much money and I'm a little tipsy and I regret NOTHING.
