jazzfish: A small grey Totoro, turning around. (Totoro)

So thanks to [livejournal.com profile] elf and my mad internetsearching skills I discover that Dar Williams is playing at the Birchmere on the fifteenth and sixteenth of November. Inconveniently enough that's a Wednesday and Thursday, but it's still doable. Anyone else interested / have a preference for which day?

Also: my apartment has been in a state of about ninety percent set up for the past month, if not longer. I hereby declare it to be Close Enough To Done. Thus, on the evening of the 18th of November, I'll be having a Gathering. Games shall be played, food shall be eaten, drinks shall be drunk provided you bring them. (Or you can partake of my water, orange juice, and weak Tang.) I figure we'll get started around twoish (or whenever people show up), try to eat around six or seven (or whenever people get hungry), and I'll kick people out, oh, sometime.

[Poll #856939]

After a little over six months of sometimes-running I have made it to the end of week five. I can now run for twenty minutes without stopping to walk. (Although the past several times I was doing fifteen minutes at a stretch.) I'd be happier about this if it weren't trying to get too cold to run at seven in the morning, thus sending me into running hibernation for several months, since I have no easily accessible gym. Forty is about right for running, provided the sun's out at least some of the time and the wind's not too bad. Less than that I'd prefer not to deal with.

But, you know, progress, and all that. Go me. Life carries on.

I shall not be able to attend for obvious reasons, but I am sending via Amazon.com a combined birthday/housewarming gift, which doubles as a party activity for the winding-down-but-not-yet-time-to-go-home phase or the first-guest-is-here-an-hour-before-everyone-else phase. I don't know if you already own what I'm sending, but it will either mark me as the coolest friend ever or as an out-of-touch friend mired in the past. Either way, hopefully I'll be able to make my annual Christmas trip to NoVa so we can make new memories upon which I can base a similar present next year.

I finally got to see what it was. I'd vote for 'the coolest friend ever', myself.

Yeah. That sounds about right.
