Snippets

Sitting on crowded bus yesterday. Next to me is an Asian baby and mama. The baby keeps poking me and then hiding her eyes. I hold out my finger like I'm going to poke her, and she squeals with laughter. When it's my stop people won't move out of the way for me to get off the bus. All of a sudden the mama is yelling in another language and the sea of people part.

Bad seats at the Curran Theatre are still good enough to love the show. My cheeks still hurt this morning from smiling so hard last night.

Heatwave. It's hot. You know the rest.

I am totally thrown off by Italians who are not from New York (and not, you know, from Italy).

BlogHer is soon - this weekend, maybe. It's blocks from my house. I wish it were over already so people would blog about other things finally.

I've been asked about my availability through the fall. When I told the floater coordinator I'd be happy to work through the fall, her response was "Yipee!" I would be thrilled to work here permanently.

Have barely seen 9am lately - now on his hardcore studying regime of four hours a day to prepare for the Bar.

My much loved* iPod seems to be broken. It won't turn on. Last time this happened the battery had run out but I tried charging it overnight to no avail. I'll be visiting the Apple store soon. Please think fixable thoughts for me.

*If you haven't read how I came to have an iPod, please read this. It's the most awesome thing ever.
