Not finding too much on Google, hoping you all can help. We're going to get a real christmas tree this year. Where are the tree lots in Minneapolis? Also, what should we expect to pay? Is cut your own the way to go?

I don't know who,

but some loser created Aging Spinsters: A Stephin Merritt Fan-Blog. We should probably hurl eggs at him, but not before perusing his website.

Admiring the lantern-buildings outside the Pitt-Rivers, waiting for the procession to start. Soon now! Some flashlights kicking off already. #

And here's the cadet band - brassy and bright, drums and shakos! #

As we're wondering whether to head off away from the Castle - end of the procession - we spot flaming pois and firebreathers. Beautiful! #

This also happened today:

  • 10:01 A man leant against the wall of his house, on the phone, body rigid with amused embarassment, accidentally locked myself out, can you...?
  • 10:05 Two boys on their way out for today, one suddenly turns and (with panache) bowls a tennis ball down the passage between the houses, howzat!
  • 11:27 Yesterday we were (mostly avoiding) sharing conference space with a dental conference. There were bowls of sweets on all the trade stands.
  • 18:21 Watching the winter lights lantern procession go by from hotel chocolat. Look! Say the children waving the lanterns, Hotel chcoclat!
  • 18:29 Modern art oxford's yard is smaller than I expected, but has winter pimms, world music, and a man with a hacksaw taping together pan pipes.
  • 18:50 Just walked past a wildly grinning camboy, camera strapped to his forehead like a cyclopean eye (or a cyclist with unusual head furniture
    ).

I am a 29-year-old single straight man. Over the past year, I have become very close friends with a gay man close to my age. We have a blast hanging out, and I value our friendship. Four months ago, he told me that he had developed romantic feelings for me and said he needed a little space to save our friendship. For a couple of months, we saw each other only with mutual friends. Then we started hanging out again. It’s been great, and he seems very comfortable with me again. The thing is, I am now experiencing a ...

What is your favorite reasonably priced glassware store? I'm looking for specialised glasses for fine alcohols. :)

whereas I surround myself with...

  • Nov. 23rd, 2009 at 11:32 PM
Well, obviously I wasn't at Thought Bubble this weekend. I hear good things of it, though. Mostly about alcohol. Must be the difference in price per pint between London and Leeds.

Instead I was at home, doing a bit more gardening-for-pay, nursing my knee (it's improving, and at this rate may recover before I get to see a doctor) and trying out my new heated drying rack from Coopers of Stortford (the Innovations Catalogue's sensible big brother). It has of course been christened kitty paradise, and now its primary purpose (drying clothes) is secondary to providing a toasty perch for tiny kittens.

This week's strip, Epiphany on Queen Street, is (of course) not this week's strip at all, we're going to be in the catch-up zone for a while. It in fact dates from the second or third week in July of this year, and is therefore a Jeremy Dennis strip, not a Jeremy Day strip. More of this nonsense to follow. For now, though, a dubious realisation:

This one has philosophical issues.


why dubious? )

Scripsit Nov 09, originally uploaded by jinty.

Now, that's a way to stop people from graffitting your patch of blank board - get someone else to do it first and more elegantly. I wasn't entirely sure at first whether the shapes were purposeful or not but the lovely lettering at the end made me think it was quasi-calligraphy-practice. Very nice anyway.

Kendall Oil

  • Nov. 23rd, 2009 at 4:03 PM
I need to top off the oil in my car - I don't really need to get it changed, so I need to stick with the oil that was put in...the few gas stations I've stopped at haven't had any Kendall oil...any idea where I could get some of that.

Alternatively, any places to get a good, cheap oil change? I live in Marcy-Holmes, but am willing to sorta go wherever.

Thanks.

Does any body else remember this guy?

We should find him and buy him ice cream.
