Went out to dinner at the Keg with Katie K last night. I had an excellent time. The rest of yesterday was domestic stuff – all my clothes are clean tra la la – and scanning photos and shipping them off to my mom.
Daughter Katie is supposed to turn up and give herself a Harry Potter readathon sometime this week, we just haven’t scheduled when yet.

uh oh
For me mum
All of a sudden Chipper’s customers make sense
Dumb people aren’t just dumb for what they don’t know. They’re dumb for what they think they know that isn’t true.
Allegra re-posts more feminist commentary
Light into energy, what a concept
Single Women
Okay, okay, I plead guilty to some of this stuff. As is frequently the case, the comments are better than the post.
Lexi just dropped me off
The Canada show at the Festival of Light was AMAZING. Mind croggling. I am so glad I saw it, and that I got a ride home after the crowds lifted… the sheer mass of humanity was pretty intense.
blah
Baumfest was awesome – and brief – I got there around 11 pm last night and left at 9:30 this morning. I feel about as you might expect for 4 hours sleep. It was wonderful singing “An Evening of Serious Drinking” with Brother Jerome in the circle – I wrote it for his 25th b-day uh… some… years ago. He still likes it, so that’s good.
There was a SERIOUS baumfire there. When I came in the fire was throwing heat at least two meters and it was still enough we didn’t get smoked out. There were beautiful clouds reflecting the almost full moon – I love that cold, polarized light.
Their kids are growing fast and doing well – it was great seeing the kindergarten table and chairs, and the xylophone, getting some use by real children.
Jeff is coming next weekend, yay.
Off to Lexi’s for dins and fireworks now.
I light a candle for the dead…
Three killed at Scaled Composites. I just got off the phone with Paul, I told him as soon as I heard about it.
I really expected to be at Baumfest by now
But my ride is stuck on the Sea to Sky.
More four legged wondrousness
Mules are supposed to be sterile.
That is one of the cutest baby animals I’ve ever seen. If I lived on a spread and was made out of money, I’d buy the baby and call him Impossible. This link also (like the previous pic) comes from Fark so it’s likely cookie city.
But ours is a love that can never be fulfilled….
Full marks if you get the movie reference.
Photo credit Getty. The little horse is called Thumbelina. She actually is more of a freak of nature than the big one, being a midget version of a miniature horse. The big one is Radar, he’s a Belgian draft horse and he hails from Texas, natch.
The rude awakening
At 1:52 this morning some bozoid rang my buzzer (which makes my phone ring, like less than two feet from my head) and said, and I quote, “I’m a good friend of the guy who lives in 431. Can you let me in?” In sepulchral tones, I replied, “I have no idea who you’re talking about” and hung up.
I’ve a mind to go abuse the guy in 431, but I won’t, he didn’t do anything.
I released two Bookcrossing books yesterday… they are gone! I am happy.
Paul and I had supper at the Himalaya last night to celebrate the fact that the house actually closed. He also brought me the camping equipment, for which I’d like to thank him. Baumfest tonight! No blogging from now until at least noon Friday unless somebody’s got wireless.
