*deep sighhhhhhh*

Y'all are probably getting tired of my "yay, I have a day off" posts, but they're rare, and so they're deeply exciting to me. :-) No Ikea today, no UC Berkeley, no need to leave the house if I don't wanna.

So far today, I have eaten, played around online, talked to my darling on the phone, and eaten some more. (I did a few dishes, too, go me.) If I get nothing else done today, that's fine. If I manage to putter around and get some stuff done at a slow pace, cool.

Plan to go to Nomad tonight and see a spoken-word thing. No other plans for the day, and I like it that way.

*sighhhhhhh*

quotes of the day

"Coffee: The Breakfast of People Who Don't Expect to Live That Long Anyway"

"How long has it been since we had sex, anyway? A month?" "Yeah, I'm sure we could find or invent some calendar system in which 2 o'clock this morning is in a different month from now. Hey, this is the beginning of the first month of the rest of our lives!"

today's old-tape hit parade so far

Bonnie Raitt, Road Tested (sadly, had to be tossed due to bad tape)
James Taylor, New Moon Shine
Joni Mitchell, Hits (see Bonnie Raitt, above)
Linda Ronstadt, What's New?

I've been merciful to someotherguy and skipped Trisha Yearwood and Kathy Mattea.

Another list of the good things in life

Spaghetti, al dente, with just olive oil, garlic, and salt.

Reduced-sodium sunflower seeds. (I love sunflower seeds, but they're usually way too salty for me. These are great!)

Getting chat requests from people who look me up on yahoo and are (a) more interested in the atheism part than the sexuality part; (b) not clueless; and (c) not looking for a HotBiBabe.

Doing nothing. I highly recommend it. (I can only stand it for so long, but still.)

Test strips. It is not fun to be out of those when your partner is having a blood-sugar crash. Yuck.

Do me!

Meme (no, not really, but the play on words doesn't work otherwise) in which you talk about me me. I can live with that. Post in your journal if you want; if you answer mine here, I'll go answer yours there.
