In slightly less freaked out news

[anagramofbrat]

Better now. Very shortly after I posted the fail-gina issue, I got pinged by avalon616 and thus followed a rollicking adventure down to Northampton for comic/game store/hot D&D gossip/drinks at the Dirty Truth. I think cell23's assessment of my beer taste is correct - so far I have not yet encountered a porter I didn't like and I was quite happy with my little bottle of Founders while filching a good portion of avalon616's fries. Good times.

Since it seems like word is slowly spreading, I think it's okay to pretty much squee publicly about this now... cell23 and I are going to look at places next week. Like, together and stuff. O_o I think Red Riding Hood from Into the Woods put how I feel about it best: "...well, excited AND scared..." Though less those two distinct feelings and more of a constant reminder to self to not completely loose my shit with squee. Hey, the kids are insanely excited about this idea and that's mostly what I care about.

Rumor has it that they're re-releasing The Babysitters' Club. Except... updated for a modern audience. I'm not sure how I feel about my girls with cell phones and *gasp* the Internet. I mean, wasn't the whole reason why they had the club meetings in Claudia's room because she had her own land line? When's the last time you saw a kid even WANT a land line?

I have a brandy new copy of Scott Pilgrim's Precious Little Life to curl up with and reread in a bit, short stacks to play with this weekend, work that's actually getting done at work, pancake ingredients (um, deliriumdeva? can I borrow that sifter?) enough groceries to last me the rest of April, and cheap as hell replacements for all the books I knew, lost, and still miss coming at me via PBS, and the Soup is on in two minutes, though honestly I may skip it due to sleepy. So life is, per usual, annoying, but certainly not all bad.

Of course, I have "Anatomically Incompatible" stuck in my head now, which is something of a feat because that song doesn't have a tune. FML.

I did just see the first few BSC books back on the shelf this week for the first time in years-- *squee*. Did not know they were edited, though. For shame. Kids today can stand to learn about a time when people used phones that were attached to the wall.

Also-- *hugs*-- hope your cooter is ok!
