I always forget my good subjects.

I'm in the midst of 4 AIM chat windows at the moment, so this will probably be a very jumpy post.

In order to join the Brookline public library, I need to have some paperwork (like a piece of mail) with my name and current address together on it. Anyone want to mail me something important-looking?

1731 Beacon St. #302
Brookline, MA 02446

Things I returned from NYC with:
  • a pair of socks in the manner of the pair I bought goldbug, only almost cooler... instead of mesh with colored stripes, they are mesh with musical staves (this word has been changed from the original post). Black and white. I will once again take a picture. The only problem is that the notes/clef signs/rests/accidentals (whatever is in black thread on the white staves) leaves big wads of black threads on the inside of the sock, so when I put them on they look less like what they are and more like black blobs. I plan to try fixing them... They were $1 at a street stand, so if they die I won't be terribly vexed.

  • A knight light. It's a little plastic knight holding onto a purple shield which covers a light bulb. It's plugged in next to my bed. I like it a lot.

  • present for Jason: a "Knights and Armour" coloring book from the Met.

  • present for Emily: a small (8x11) print of Van Gogh's "First Steps". She requested it.

  • present for Deanna: her name written in hand-painted letters by a Chinese vendor on the street, who forms the letters out of animals. I'll take a picture to demonstrate.

  • One of those paintings for myself as well.

  • Lots of photographs.

  • A slight sunburn.

  • A dramatically smaller amount in my checking account.


Luckily, I get paid this week. For 48 hours worth of work. At $10.12/hr. I'll save the work of the math for you, that's $465.76. As far as I can tell, about $100 of it will be taken out for taxes. That's a nice leftover sum with which to repay Janke and pay some credit card debt.

I posted a "hire me for part-time work and odd jobs" flier in the mail room downstairs, so far 3 of the little tags have been ripped off. Also I applied at a few places, hopefully something will turn up. Hopefully.

Tonight I will wax my legs and rebleach my hair, hopefully for the final time. Wish me luck.

Thank you. I wasn't sure if that plural was valid for the musical term as well as the weapon term.

I'll write you a letter from work! I'll use the letterhead and everything.

tee hee -- I thought, "What opera is the Met doing that gave them the idea to sell knights and armor coloring books?"

Oooh. Duh.
