What a weekend. Highs and lows. Started out by looking at an imperfect three bedroom duplex in the perfect neighborhood. Then found out an old friend mysteriously died at home at the age of 40. Had a quiet night in. Saturday we indulged in too much escapism by seeing both the new Mr. Peabody & Sherman movie *and* Miyazaki’s new The Wind Rises. Saturday night we made it to a co-worker’s birthday/tapas party, with bonus Tesla coil. And then on to see our friends’ band play. But I bailed on the rest of the line-up. Sorry bands. Sunday was the dreaded Springing forward. But we got out of bed early-ish and made it to the gym, as a household - some of us crabbier than others. And then I stumbled upon a CL ad that was almost too good to be true for a 3BR / 2BA duplex in a neighborhood I want to live in. And the boyfriend called and we actually got to see it that day. And it was almost perfect and I really want to live in it, for years to come. I do hope that all works out.
Five interesting things:
- So yeah, I may have discovered this via some major linkbait but the video is totally worth watching. Trust me. 15-Yr-Old Kelvin Doe of Sierra Leone Wows M.I.T. What an incredibly smart, resourceful kid. And a cool program.
- What on earth was all this about? “Bitcoin Inventor” Denies Newsweek Story After Bizarre Car Chase
- Whoa. There’s something so creepily compelling about this.
- Brilliant. Single woman spends 14 years with mannequin family to make a point - more at Susan Heintz’s site: Life Once Removed
- This came from a co-worker: “If you like hearing an enraged Scotsman yell about a unique video game in which you play an octopus (successfully?!) impersonating a human dad, then this is for you.” I’ve watched it three times.
Still blissed out after getting to see Cibo Matto last week. I don’t think I’m going to any shows this week (no, I am not seeing Miley Cyrus tonight). I do have a parent/teacher conference though. Wheeee! Oh, and my pal Heidi is celebrating the 10th anniversary of her catering business, Chowgirls, with a gathering. Definitely want to swing by that biz. Oh, and I randomly got a shout-out from someone who works at MASS MoCA for my Body/Head photos at MIA. That was neat.
