ohthankgod.

it’s a balmy 49º out today, so sparklet and i got the heck outside. neither of us do particularly well (with each other) when we’re stuck inside each and every afternoon for three months, so its a #$&*#%ing relief to get even a little bit of running and sliding in.

sparklet must have cycled through walter pierce park’s slides two dozen times in the half hour we were there. by the end, her hair was standing on end from the accumulated static electricity from the slides.

wow, i can’t wait for spring.
the talimos

February 10, 2011

we’ve been stinked out of our place for the next two days while the painters come through and undo the chromatic damage we did to our walls in the last four years.

fortunately, the talimos are the most awesome people on the planet and took us in — providing us a steady stream of friends, food and wine to help assuage the pain of every bit of character being stripped from our walls.

i’ll spare the details to protect the innocent and prevent retaliation from PETFG (people for the ethical treatment of fermented grapes) but i will say there was a bolognese sauce involved at one point that i would consider jail time in exchange for the recipe.

no country for old groceries

this is sparklet “helping” me unpack the groceries from Peapod — only the part you’d see in a movie trailer, directed by Quentin Tarantino.
