more random randomly before I dive in with the sharks

Walking in the East Village yesterday, I ran into an old friend. "Oh thank god!" he exclaimed, "you're home!"
Jeebus, people. It was Connecticut, not Furthest Siberia! But thank you. ;-)

Meanwhile I have met with Tax Guy, and he praised me muchly for my documentation spreadsheet (developed over the past few years to meet an evolving freelance career). I hate Excel, but that doesn't mean I can't make it sit up and do a few tricks. Yay me, I can has cookie. Unfortunately, Uncle Sugar wants a large chunk of that cookie. Uncle Sugar is a bastid.

This morning, caffeine has already been consumed, and a full plate of work served up: many many things get their final pass and are sent away today. And so, I go to't. Update when there's something to report.


Damage Report: the yelp of pain I let out on Saturday has come back to haunt me in the form of a nasty, four-inch green bruise along the side of my right knee. No memory of what attacked me, but I suspect the endtable. Also, the "h" key on my laptop now requires a sledgehammer. Grrrr.
EtA: Also? Never let kradical or quarkwiz near your stilton. Or you will have no stilton left. I really wish I'd gotten photos of the feeding frenzy...

You have to understand, the border between New York and anywhere is impermeable.

You've never been to the Upper Midwest in January, have you? ;)

New Yorkers! *eye rolling icon* Connecticut is very nice, and it has parking!

Of course, Parisians are the same. Anything outside of the 20 arrond… is Siberia for them.

[quarkwiz.livejournal.com]

Well, even the 20eme is siberia to many Parisians, eh...

[fakefrenchie.livejournal.com]

So true. I lived for awhile in the 12e and 13e, and it was like I lived outside of Paris.

Tell me about it. I grew up in the 14eme, two stops in from the end of the line! Meh, it made getting to Orly that much easier.
