"It's a new dawn, it's a new day, it's a new life, for me, and I'm feeling good"

You know what going to bed before 9:30 on a Friday night is?  Made of awesome.

The last time I went grocery shopping for bagels they were out of cinnamon raisin, so I bought blueberry, which are v. yum.  However, peanut butter is an awesome (tasty and proteiny) way to enhance raisin bagels whereas with blueberry it's more of a taste duel.

I went to the Boston Vegetarian Food Festival with hedy and aleksie.  They literally boarded my Orange Line at Ruggles.  (We had been planning to meet at the RLAC.)

Everybody loves free samples, and I picked up assorted literature, but nothing really blew me away.

woman: "I'm officially scared of vegans now.  They won't eat meat, but they'll kill you to get to a free sample."

It was really crowded, but on the outermost circle at least people mostly all went in the same direction so it wasn't excessively frustrating.

Alexis (to me): "Have you considered becoming a religious leader?"
Heather (to me): "I don't think you have the people skills, but I think you would make a good minister."

Over the course of today I finished my Joyce/Blamires reading.  This week's reading response is fairly easy.  (Have midterm week from Tuesday, though.  Eek.)  However, far more interesting than working on said reading response is planning ahead for theatre and film (am looking forward to the MFA film Nov/Dec calendar coming out as it's so much easier to plan from than the web).

Browsing Arts Boston gives me: a cabaret style Little Shop of Horrors in Newton Auburndale (11/17/06 To 12/29/06).  Frustratingly, it's not conveniently on the Green Line but rather on the Framingham/Worcester Commuter Rail (Zone 2: $3.50/each way).  Tickets: "$25.00 Regular;$20.00 Student (Fri/Sun Only)"  ArtsBoston price: $17.25  Of course I'm gonna bother Eric about this.  Jonah, Albany!Sarah, and everyone else, are of course also invited.  [Especially since I have zero expectation that Eric and I will go.]

Also, I like Yahoo's new gmail-ified e-mail Search Results format.

How is my first name statistically four slots below my mom's in popularity?  ["Elizabeth" is "Statistically the 19th most popular first name."]

I liked that we are "clones" b/c there are 16 of each of us in the US :)

Tempting to volunteer to drive you to Little Shop ... but given that I am planning to see the person i LIVE with the day after Thanksgiving .... maybe I should restrain my impulses.

I remember I had a plan to go to dinner with you once a month. The best laid plans .... but I can't say that you seem to have copious amound of "lonely" time.

Yeah, I considered the "parent drive me to Auburndale" option, but figured it would probably be easier for me to just T it from Somerville some weekend.

I'd forgotten about that dinner plan :) Wednesdays are my best nights but yeah, as you say, I don't exactly have copious amounts of lonely time.

Adding the Boston Vegetarian Festival to my list of reasons why I shouldn't liv ein upstate. it sounds like a lot of fun.

[hermionesviolin.livejournal.com]

I'd forgotten that there are speakers scheduled throughout the festival. Next time I think I need to schedule my attendance around them. It's so crowded that the actual walking around obtaining free samples part isn't super-fun.

How are you getting SO MANY LSH productions so close together? It's not FAIR. And this one is SO CLOSE TO BEING AWESOME, since I probably come home for break around the 23ish, but ends JUST close enough to the holiday that there's probably no way I'll make it. THANKS, TIMING.

Also, how much do I love being Albany!Sarah? A WHOLE LOT :).

The LSH show runs until Dec. 29... or do you mean your school break is so short?

I have another Sarah P. on my flist, so I decided you could be Albany!Sarah rather than writing out the lj user tag.
