How did it get to be so late?

I was going to watch a video and work on terribly important game prep. Instead I've been online and should really get to bed.

Bother.

I didn't even stir to eat the ice cream I meant to eat. How sad is that?

I took a North Shore bus today in order to come home and feet cats and water the garden and it wasn't all that bad. (Of course, now it's raining, so maybe I could have held off on the garden thing...) And I got to commute through South Station, which is really a much better place than North Station (aka the Fleet Center, off limits this week to mere commuters). For one thing, there's a Rosie's Bakery counter.

Thanks to everyone who filled out the poll yesterday; I found it usefully interesting, or interestingly useful, or at any rate it gave me something to do other than what I was meant to be doing. You are all enablers.

Despite having learned that almost no one reads my journal on the page itself, I nevertheless spent too much time tonight changing its layout. Go figure. (Edit: This is not a call for you to make an extra effort to go look at it; it's not terribly exciting and you'll see it anyway if you ever read or leave comments to my posts.)

It is also important that I wrote all of this down for you to read.

I will go over and look at your page, because you spent time on the layout and you deserve it. *pats head*

You're yet another person I have met online that I regret not meeting IRL here in MA. Shame that most of the people I think are cool up here are online and not real life acquaintances.

A pal of Mani's works in the city and emailed about what a mess it is with the DNC going on; he said it's like the dark side of the moon, all barriers and people with badges around their necks, no regular traffic. Even the protest cages are empty.

Good of you -- although people who leave comments to my posts will see the layout anyway.

(Hmm. This layout looks terrible in iCab (http://www.icab.de).)

I haven't been any closer to the DNC than South Station, where there's more of a pronounced police presence -- and lots of helpful signs to find misplaced buses and so forth. Go MBTA! (That's not something I'll say often.) I'm thinking I might trudge around closer this afternoon and take pictures or something. Seems like I should.

I feel that way about my actual real-life local friends, whom I generally only "see" online! Living in the suburbs is something of a good training for my coming year as an expat, I guess.

I have to say the seven years I've been up here, except for immediate family and a few exceptions, have been socially lonely for me. People don't just drop in for coffee here, or maybe I'm hanging with the wrong people.

Sorry

The evil cow says it looked better before - that purple is extremely purple, and the fonts are too big and blocky for the accompanying text. I have a contract with myself that my page shall remain dull and grey until the monster has been killed. Go slay monsters.

Thanks for the input. The purple looks different on each of the three monitors I have seen it, but I wasn't too sure I wanted it anyway...
