sundries, late night edition

[rm]

Today has been a day. Including Patty dropping me a note saying she'd probably be home a bit after nine and then coming home at 11:30 because a friend of hers got engaged and there was an impromptu party. But you know what's great about us? I'm not mad; she's cool that I was, however, stressed about it and we just did our big long list of cruise packing/shopping whatsits. I made her read me the suggested packing lists for both men and women. This was actually very useful.

The simple reality at this point is that I will breathe a massive sigh of relief when 2009 is over. It's been hitting everyone close to me hard since the beginning of the year, and it's still hitting. Today involved a few more installments in all of that, one of which I found quite jarring, and I am just ready for it to be done.

I cannot stop eating these chocolate-covered jelly pomegranite things we bought at Costco. Have I mentioned my love affair with Costco? OMG Costco! Om nom nom nom.

The Book of Harry Potter Trifles, Trivias and Particularities is sold out again on Amazon. B&N and other sites do have it in stock, or you can order from me directly. Amazon should have more by the end of the week.

NY State workers who are trans are expected to win protection from bias in employment.

DC City Council approves gay marriage. The mayor is expected to sign off. Conventional wisdom says that Congress won't step in (as they can with all DC laws) to overturn this.

Because of weird crap (that LJ'ers explained to me -- thank you!) it's cheaper to fly to other European cities and then fly to England from there. This increases the chance that Patty and I will go to Dublin for a couple of days in April and has started me considering going to Amsterdam for two days before Bristol. I've always wanted to go to Amsterdam, you see. Also, it would be fitting. I haven't done a weird pilgrimage that no one but me understands in a long time (Australia); the whoel Bristol experience may be turning into one of those things though.

I joined NCIS. Hahahahaah, that's so fun to type and I don't even watch the show.

The VB saga now features an evil twin.

Heh. My love affair with Costco is also of the ZOMG!!!!!! variety. We loves it here at Casakaffyr, we does.

Here's hoping that whatever pilgrimage develops for you, that it is good, and memorable.
