Where America Greets the World, or

what JFK Airport claims to be on its entry sign. I'm not convinced.

Anyway - here we are, waiting for a plane & watching the moon rise. It's quite full and shiny. I hope everyone enjoyed their Black Friday. :)


Another day without earrings.

Greetings from the scenic JFK Comfort Inn!

The travel was filled with minor incidents of annoyance, ending with seeing rather more of Jamaica, Queens, than strictly necessary. However. It's the Season of Thankfulness. I am duly grateful for us all arriving intact in a room with beds.


No earrings today.

Not working

The busy bees with the typewriters keys were supposed to ensure a productive day. That didn't happen. I did get through everything I planned to get through... it just took until 7pm.

Between the long day and Top Chef I decided to treat myself to the pretentious restaurant across the street. That was a good call. They deep-fry garlic slices in with the fries. Plus, the nice wait staff bought me a drink with my nummy chocolate dessert. Thank you, nice wait staff!

Not pleased that they booted Lia tonight on Top Chef. I like her.

Reconciling the seemingly disparate

Plenty of minutia to whine about, but...

...when I left work, my colleagues were watching the Argentina-Colombia match on Al Jazeera live feed. And I just watched the History Channel program on the Star Trek auction at Christie's.

These things fill me with optimism.


Today's earrings: elephants, ebony teardrops

Instant OCD spike

My boss told me before she left (early) today that I was in charge of turning off the office coffee pot before I left. I can't remember if I turned it off or not. I think I did. But I'm not really sure. This could be a bad night...


Today's earrings: bees, flowers

Motion Toward

What is it about a pair of wayward whales (tm channel 3 news) that makes me giggle so? Perhaps it's not the whales. Perhaps it's the squadrons of people who've been mobilized to annoy the whales into going back to sea... or the legions of gawkers standing around watching the dorsal fins circle... No, I think it's the whales, and the way they're not going anywhere until they're damn good and ready.


Today's earrings: ants, stones

Family Dinner

GOTHIC DOLPHINS

NOT BOMBS

- - Graffiti, West Oakland



We had pesto & a heavily avocadoed salad. :) Good pesto - go M! The avocados were perfectly ripe - excellent work, A! S & I hung about and fondled the cats. prrrrr.

We spoke of visiting K/S/D this summer, but did not go so far as to make a plan.

S won the scrabble game, despite me scoring 61 points for "axe."


Today's earrings: frogs, chocolate molecules

Numfar! Do the Dance of Joy!

The nice lady in the Mauritius Government Printing Office sent the promised fax. All praise the nice lady in the Mauritius Government Printing Office. :)

Several suits in the office today. My boss was kind enough to remind me that I'd agreed to show them the Happy Dance while they were in town, as they had missed the "75% Complete!" celebration. And then she brought up my promise to perform the Dance of Joy when we get initial updates published on all 104 books... and that day looms nigh. I really need to study up on the Dance of Joy.


Today's earrings: diamonds, aquamarines
