- Mark your calendars and rev your engines. Next Tuesday (May 3!) is the day The Shivs take over the world, with an 8PM gig at Kenny’s Castaways on Bleeker. This is your chance to be that cool blogger that knows the Next Big Thing before the LES hipsters do. Go, rock out, enjoy.
- I happen to like rainy mornings for the sole reason that it’s the one time that I actually relish entering my building, if only in that it becomes a sanctuary from the rain.
- We threw the mother of all surprise parties for the Kate, to mark her birthday two weeks early with a Merry Unbirthday party. There were scones and cocktails and spiked tea and the most unbelievable peanut-butter-and-jelly cake and there were pictures and I’ll show you as soon as I get them off that lazy camera. Yeah, it’s the camera’s fault.
- We bought a playstation this week and *punches fist in air*.
- We are going home this weekend for Greek Easter (those orthodox and their pesky schism!) and I plan on marking the solemn occasion by not making fun of the church on my blog and thus starting a flame war. How very mature of me. Pat pat.
- One of my favourite British bloggers is rumored to be coming to visit in August, another one might be moving here, and next week, we are playing houseguests to a blog couple of good repute so the general transatlantic blogginess of it all is just too adorable. TOO ADORABLE.
- I’m not sure how this fits in anywhere but I thought I’d say it: Jen, you’re probably the most honest blogger I know. Every single time I read your posts, I come back to my edit page resolved to just write without thinking too hard about how it’ll sound to who’s going to read it and whether I should say it and why or why not. But you’ve stayed very true to the style wherein you just don’t give a monkey about who thinks what about why, and I love that. Come to think of it, I love it in you, too. So, hi Jen, I love you.
- Um, I think I’m done. FER ner ner.
