my weekend in short

[harborshore]

1. nightswimming. cool, dark lake. mosquitoes. peace of mind.


2. playing impossible-to-keep-track-of card games.


3. no one remembered their keys.


4. i painted a door. nearly stung by inch-long wasps; nearly got heatstroke.


5. no ticks. minor miracle. innumerable mosquitoes, five moths, two daddy-long-legs, at least twenty horseflies, a mayfly, no snakes.


6. warm buses, cooler cars. forgot my hat at home.


7. the most riveting book i read was part one only. DAMMIT.


8. connie willis is amazing.


9. being capable is addictive. apparently i know how to deal with sprained ankles.


10. no really, the heat.


11. still can't write. thesis progressing slowly, however.

Hey you. Glad to hear you're doing okay. Although I think you're selling your no-tick miracle a little short. That is a CRAZY MIRACLE OF AWESOMENESS. What if you got one and had to pull it out with its little head buried in your shoulder or whatever? Ewwwwwwwww.

Heat is the worst. Who picked this lame hot planet, anyway? Want to move to Mars with me, like a rational person?

&YOU; I'm going to reply to your email later, thank you, dearling.

Ticks are SO GROSS. The one good thing about the heat (apart from SUN and warm wonderful evenings--okay so some things are good) is that the ticks hate it.

Ooooh, but Mars is intriguing. Perhaps! They found water there, right?
