Saw Order of the Phoenix last night..
Watching something like that is actually quite a trip… I’d forgotten that there might be anything more to it than really long lines.
There’s really really long lines really early before the movie, and there’s the extra-dorkiness status you garner by association with others in the line dressed as a Firebolt (yes, the broom), as Death Eaters, as Harry Potter, tons of random t-shirts saying things like “Severus is my slave/Severus is my master”, and countless girls with lightning bolts drawn on their foreheads with eye-liner. I may never be cool again. ;)
writing tomorrow.
meanwhile, how cool is this:
Last weekend, Kent Couch settled down in his lawn chair with some snacks — and a parachute. Attached to his lawn chair were 105 large helium balloons.

cheers to not going into work tomorrow.
and to successful mailbridges.
and to good people.
and to baking cupcakes.
and to good days.
headed to bed ~2am last night. would’ve been much earlier, but mailbridge/forum topics needed merging and.. I still have more of that to do, actually.
much to write about and share.. a lot that I can’t write about and share..
but it’s been a worthwhile past ~two weeks, of which there are still days ahead.
Be IN bed before 4am.
Bonus points if in bed before 2am.
Happiness and impressedness if in bed by midnight….........
Longer term goal:
be in bed by 10… oh that’s not even doable. much online collaboration happens solidly and well after 10pm EST.
Well, baby steps meanwhile….......
Awesome night. really.
maybe in some ways good that I didn’t have my ID so couldn’t really enter the club to stay out much longer… also rather regretful…
but…. an awesome night really, still, really.
Was lots of phone calling and trying different numbers and leaving messages and calling again over past several days, with disheartening results.
LA didn’t have it and DC didn’t have it, but Southwest Chicago (finally got through to someone who actually called me back a bit later) has it!!!
Of course, all my credit cards have been canceled (very sad), but my driver’s license/ID, Southwest card, maybe one or two other interesting cards besides the credit cards, and my favorite little Lodis brown/teal leather card wallet are in the baggage claim and I will pick it up on my way back home. yay!!
it’s okay. I wanted to lose all my credit cards and driver’s license/ID. It’ll make it more fun when I try to board a plane to go home.
yay
(well… I sort of do…)
haven’t grabbed much sleep lately.. but it’s for a good reason, so I’m mostly alright with the damage for now. I love working with good people on good things. It’s the bestest.
on another note: I’m hungry (again).
This is still very true in 2017. Including the hungry again.
