So I bought boots today! I am very excited as they are made of awesome and weren't even all that expensive!

Today is a good day.

And tomorrow I shall go to the library to look all dignified in my new boots with my coat and only wanting a pipe and a glass of port or scotch.

So tonight I went to the Newman Cabaret, In the Mood. It was spectacular and awesome. The music was really well done and a lot of fun, and the food was good, and there was dancing. Oh how I love dancing. All in all it was an amazing event and I hope I can go again one day, or even better, if I must live in this city for another year again someday, to sing in it. Yay swing!

This image pleased me: link.

I found it at the Globe's daily pictures.

I spent part of this evening looking at pictures first of malamute puppies, and then of cairn terrier puppies, and then pictures of Simon when he was a puppy. My brain 'sploded from the cute O_O

Today I picked up Irina Metzler's Disability in Medieval Europe (also, parts are available here) from interlibrary loan. I started reading the introduction and at one point she says, "Questions this book addresses with regard to medieval notions of impairment, for example, revolve around ideas concerning the liminality of impairment..."1

Oh how I love the notion of liminality and it fills me with glee when I run across it elsewhere...

Just because there are some people on my list that are not on hers,

CALLING ALL CANADIANS! I need help with my Canadian English class!

The question is, 'What do you call an evening meal?' Unless you're over 30 and you tell me, I'm going to drop you into the 'under 30' category of the chart thingy.

And Esther, same to you as to me!

I no brain Latin today. And I said I'd go in to sit the semi-sight test thing today in the MA Latin class. Blahhh... hopefully he chooses a passage we've done in class before Wednesday, and not the passage I'm trying to read now that is just words before my eyes.

* Grab the nearest book.
* Open the book to page 56.
* Find the fifth sentence.
* Post the text of the next two to five sentences in your journal along with these instructions.
* Don't dig for your favorite book, the cool book, or the intellectual one: pick the CLOSEST.

Winnie Ille Pu, Milnei

"'Quonam eram iturus?' Lente exsurrexit.
Et tunc illico in mentem ei venit: 'Natalicium Ioris manducaverat!'"

I largely only did this because I looked over and this really was the closest book on hand.

I've been watching mock-u-mercials for Utilikilts. They're all he-man awesomeness. I highly recommend "Carried Away (Wife)", "Reason #223 - Protection", "Kilt vs Dress", and "The Breakup".

I have a confession to make. I only just started reading Hiatus just now.

To be fair, it began during Lent when I was off of all webcomics.

And the internet is being evil, this evening.

Nevermind, it's mostly just firefox. I'm debating opening the hunt for a different browser as firefox can be a very temperamental browser.

I downloaded Doctor Horrible. And it made me feel like a Good Person that I paid for it even. Now Joss may even be able to pay the cast and crew!

For those of you who haven't yet heard, Joss has recenty made Doctor Horrible and it is amazing and will be free to watch until Sunday, 20 July.

Go.

Watch it now.

And be more fulfilled in your life for having done so.

It seems that one of my poems has been published at an online journal, The Alexandrian.

Neat.

So the past two days I've gotten post. Yesterday my socks arrived from Sock Dreams. I got two pairs of their Military Bootsocks in black to wear with my kilt. I also got a pair of their Super Stripes in charcoal and grey. And then today I got an early birthday gift from Janelle: a copy of Nurk as well as a print of The Taxman (140/150 and signed!) by the same person! And she gave me this awesome, awesome card!

We're talking some pretty awesome gifts and post, here.

I was just reading this article and came across a reference to Canada's thunderstorm season. A season of which I'd never heard before. A glance at their map of lightening density explained a few things to me. *facedesk* I like BC SO much better. Apparently that means the number of storms we've been having here is not, as I thought and hoped, absurd, but very possibly normal. Joy.
