Lesbian and Geek Codes
Once again I have no idea what I’ve been working on all evening. I can think of things I want to do, but A wants to use the laptop a bit so I am going to let her use it as long as she likes, and if I get it back I’ll play around some … Continue reading
Hot Books, Metafilter, Movie
I’m not black, so I don’t usually stop at the table on the street where they sell African-American books. I look at it, and I figure maybe I’d be interested in some of them, but I’m afraid to stop. (I know I shouldn’t be. I just am.) But today they had a copy of the … Continue reading

Morning squirrel count: 5 I was working on writing an entry when the computer crashed hard, and I have yet to learn to save my work while I’m still writing it. It was mostly about the Elmer’s glue I have on a fingernail to keep it from breaking before I can get to a nail … Continue reading

En Route Home
I noted a few things while on my way home from work tonight, and after I got in. When I got on and sat down, I spotted a SmarTrip card on the floor. I picked it up and put it in my bag, figuring I’d give it to the station manager when I got off. … Continue reading
