Hey, wow! An update button! Neato!

Since I seem to have forgotten how to post in this journal with any sense of regularity, I'm left with having to summarize what scientists gauge as a "snootload" of undocumented days to document. So, alla breve, and with the disclaimer that I'm going to miss a lot of stuff.

* I ordered an iPhone! Yay, sweet Verizon introduction deals! Yay, using future tax returns to justify current purchases!

* I got an e-mail from Paula Gamache on behalf of Will Shortz; the puzzle I sent the New York Times about a year ago was finally rejected. Back to the drawing board.

* Hanging out with figmentj, archangelwells, wired_lizard and fiddle_dragon over the last few days. Nifty on all counts.

* Saw The King's Speech with figmentj this afternoon, when I managed to lose my ticket somewhere between the cashier window and the popcorn counter. Movie was wonderful; they should save time by just handing Colin Firth the Oscar right now.

* I was laughing over the "Claiborne Adult Care Home," but I had to admit that Claiborne is not an uncommon name, and mentally prepending "Dolores" was me being willfully goofy. "Marquis Health Care," though, is pushing it.
