I feel weird posting an update entry when I'm still hours from bed.

Today I:
+ went downtown to Payless and picked up a pair of dress flats and a pair of cute-but-not-excessively-so wedge sandals for clubbing or whatever
+ went to TJMaxx and on a whim picked up a bright spring shirt which turned out to look great on me, and also a pair of brown dress pants which fit fairly well
+ did laundry
+ washed dishes
+ picked up some groceries
+ cleaned my room a bit, though not nearly as much as I should (being ruthless is HARD)

Stuff I'm getting rid of that flisters might actually want:
- green dolphin earrings (surgical steel posts) claimed by Maria
- magnet of an indigenous peoples male-female couple with the text "Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never fails.  1 Corinthians 13:7-8"
- magnet with "Discover the wonder in every day" text above a wilderness scene with mountains in the image of bears, rocks in the image of eagle heads, a waterfall, etc.

I need to figure out what I am feeding people next Saturday.
Edit: I am also somewhat concerned that almost everyone is gonna drive and there is like nowhere to park. /edit

Gender Redesigner
At Brattle Theater:
40 Brattle Street Harvard Sq. Cambridge
9:30pm all ages $10
http://www.truthserum.org

CineMental is excited to welcome fAe Gibson, subject of Gender Redesigner, to Boston for this screening and discussion.

Gender Redesigner Johnny Bergmann, USA, 2006, Video, 74 min.

Follow fAe over the course of 5 years as she begins to question her gender and decides to surgically modify her body. This intimate fun filled adventure makes you wonder how fAe can handle beginning hormone treatment, having his breasts removed, and drag kinging - all in the middle of rural Western Pennsylvania. While transitioning from female to male, fAe makes a startling discovery about the balance between his masculine and feminine sides. Can she succeed living as a man in the middle of farm country?

Gender Redesigner has screened at: NYC NewFest, San Francisco Frameline Festival, North Carolina Film Fest, Translations: Seattle Transgender Film Festival, and the Best of NewFest @ BAM and other festivals.

For the baby shower, I bought Trelawney and Eric (and baby-to-be Cuboo) a BornFree Gift Set of Bisphenol-A Free Plastic bottles from their registry.  I got an e-card thank you today.
Thank you, Elizabeth!

I got the bottles in the mail, and I am very excited to use them! They look delicious! And I'm especially excited to see how fast I can make Mummy and Daddy get them ready for me in the middle of the night when they're still half asleep and I'm making lots of loud noise! We'll have lots of fun! Thank you so much!!

love and kisses (with drool),
Cuboo

Edit: Chatting with mjules tonight, she related a conversation with her mom in which said mom said, "Damn skippy."

me: ::laughs:: I haven't heard anyone say "damn skippy" in years I don't think.
mjules: *laughs* It's fairly commonplace with me and Mom. We both have kind of quirky speech patterns.
me: I recall "nifterspiffic" from my teen years with my best friend, but that's fallen by the wayside.
I love that my parents adopt my slang -- like my mom will say "wootles" (her variant on "woot").
mjules: Wootles? That's fucking adorable.
me: Yeah, my mom's pretty adorable
mjules: Hee. From what I know of her so far, I'm willing to accept her nomination into the Hall Of Most Awesomest Mothers Ever, along with my own mother

[identity profile] hermionesviolin.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 03:15 am (UTC)(link)
Yup, the Yahoo one's my primary e-mail address.

At the moment I'm more interested in having less to move ;) but if you have anything you think I'd love feel free to let me know.

awesomest

Hermione's mom appreciates the nomination. I wasn't having a good day.
If you still have inspirational magnets at the end of your purge, I can use them at work. They brighten up my file cabinets.

Ahh, purging=love, because I'm a true believer of the "one person's trash is another person's treasure" motto. I collect magnets (I need to post a picture of them on my new fridge!), so I'd love the "discover the wonder" one if you still have it (but by ALL MEANS, your mother is first in line! :)).

Having just moved (and with a few things still to unpack), I'm wishing you the most painless process possible...

Others can be first for magnets. I have the batch from a previous purge. So I'll just take the orphans.

Shoes

If that link takes me to the correct picture I'm not sure how those shoes qualify as "sandals" (the wedges, American Eagle Mary Janes with gray and green and blue flowers on them), but I agree that they are cute. If I liked wedges at all (which I don't, I despise them), I might consider a pair myself.

Re: Shoes

[identity profile] hermionesviolin.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 06:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, the link is correct. I was using a perhaps overly broad definition of "sandal" -- though pulling up Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandal_%28footwear%29#Variants) just now, they list Mary Janes as a type of sandal.

Re: Shoes

[identity profile] theatre-pixie.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
*shrugs a bit* I guess I'm used to thinking of sandals as being "shoes that show your toes" and Mary Janes just don't fit that category.

I wish the Wiki article had some kind of bibliographical link so I could learn where the author got the information that Mary Janes were sandals, then I'd find it easier to believe (what can I say? An encyclopedia by the people, for the people? Needs some hella-good resources to back it up. *chuckles* But I'm sure you'd agree with that, being one who is constantly looking for proofs and concretions and such. You always like to know where information is coming from).

Re: Shoes

[identity profile] hermionesviolin.livejournal.com 2008-07-06 06:26 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I almost caveated that Wikipedia is of course not an impeccable source of information. And up top when they define "sandal" they say, "the common understanding is that a sandal reveals most or all of the foot (especially the toes) to view," which is more in keeping with your understanding of the term.

Okay. So. I've come out of the vortex of moving/starting work. Well, hopefully. I haven't really checked lj, but I think you're having a birthday thing, yes? And I'm not sure how to get there. I might take the commuter rail in, if I can figure out where it leaves from. How do I get to you from South Station? Alas. Am lost. Help!

[identity profile] hermionesviolin.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
*hugs you* (in some sort of warm-weather appropriate way)

Yes, I am having a birthday thing. This Saturday, from noon until whenever. Did I facebook invite you? I forget. That would be so awesome if you could come!

From South Station you will want to take the Red Line "Inbound" (to Alewife via Park/Harvard) to Davis T Station. You will want to take the Holland St. exit out of Davis T Station. You can then walk to my apartment (it's about a 15-20 minute walk), or you can wait for a #87 or #88 bus if you really want. I can e-mail you directions plus the exact address for GoogleMapping (since it occurs to me that I probably shouldn't post exact directions to my house on the public internet even if I am moving one town over in a few weeks).

MBTA says the Providence commuter rail station is at 100 Gaspee St (http://www.mbta.com/schedules_and_maps/rail/lines/stations/?stopId=163).

[identity profile] immortalavalamp.livejournal.com 2008-07-08 09:33 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm going to try to come. If it falls through (my apartment is dirty in that "no-one-cleaned-this-place-in-four-years" way, and washing floors/walls/windows/windowsills/the gross gross oven is taking longer than I thought), mayhap we can celebrate in another weekend or two? I'll get you a drink or dessert or other happy, delicious thing of your choosing. :D

But I'm really going to try to make it.
