One Month

to me having a place with Avigail in the city, or Brooklyn within 30 minutes of Midtown, if we can find one. Affordable 2 bedroom suggestions are now being seriously considered.

Last night was the beginning of the weekly Sunday Dinner rotation. Dave got us on a nearly unmatchable start, cooking mushrooms, pelmeni, potatoes, making several salads and laying out a dazzling array of herring cheese and caviar.

Tonight Jeanne made Bacon soaked collard greens and peach cobbler with home made whipped cream. (Yes Bacon deserves to be capitalized.)

Did I mention that I'm eating well?

Tom appears to be jettisoning SNRE for Kzoo. Mike is taking over his old job, and there is a vacancy. And Maya's growing bigger.

Yulia & I have begun the process of devouring the Sandman series. It is my first foray into graphic novels, aside from that brief dalliance with Transmetropolitan. Yulia's on Book I, I just started book II, and Jeanne just bought book VI. It is... ridiculously good. And I love the intellectual integration into Gaiman's other works. I'm almost tempted to (likely errantly) belt out the word leitmotif.

Also, Randall from my freshman year pulled me aside on the street this weekend. After seven years, I find that he's looking for a law school and in an Urban Planning program at NYU. He's promised me an evite (isn't that word going the way of xerox) to a party on Yom Kippur.

This blows a big hole in my previously cynical theory that friends tend to drift apart as they grow older. Ha.

In SciFiLand, Ghost in the Shell 2 is finally in theatres, after a wait of 8 years.

And. Star Wars Episodes 4-6 come out on DVD tonight. We were planning on having a marathon on Friday night, after we found a big screen tv somewhere. The only big screen tv we know of resides in somebody's house who likely will be doing religious stuff friday night, and Yulia insists that we respect the one day out of the year she does anything religious. We're likely to acquiesce, especially considering that it is to be she that buys the discs tomorrow. She works across from a Best Buy.

Speaking of religion, this is great, if you get it.

Jeanne & Yulia still don't have a cable modem or dsl.

Internet through my phone sucks. God bless internet through my phone.

I miss Boggle, porches and sleeping in terribly.

Says the person who wakes up when everybody else leaves.

Ayiee. I seem to have landed in a rough patch of ramble.

clap clap.
I'm off.
