Tiredness

So we went out with Ashley and her husband G last night. Ashley is petite, fun and animated; as for G, I knew he was good people as soon as he said he loved Woody Allen (in a platonic way, of course). Conversation ranged all over the place, from Neil Labute to a strange website called "X Peeps" to our novels.

Tonight we went out with A & C. A is pregnant; I found out at a party we went to recently, but they were still in the "quiet" stage. Now they can tell everyone. I felt like I should be careful when hugging her so as not to crush the baby, but she told me not to worry. They are planning to name their baby after their grandparents (with girl's and boy's names picked out accordingly). They'll find out in October what gender it will be.

I got up at 7:15 this morning, which was just as well, because I had to teach at 9:30 in Brooklyn. So you'd think I'd sleep like a baby tonight. But no. As I mentioned in my previous blog entry, there's something weird going on with my neck. The skin at the base of it feels tight. It's driving me crazy.

You see, I hate the feeling of anything around my neck. This is why I generally wear V-necked shirts (for some reason turtlenecks are ok, but some T-shirts are not) and it's the #1 reason I'm glad I'm not a man. Wearing a tie would be certain torture.

Ok, now you know about my weird neck thing. If any of you have advice on this sort of situation, feel free to share it.

Vegetable personalities

At the risk that you'll all think I'm nuts...but heck. I was getting cauliflower ready for dinner and it occurred to me that vegetables have different personalities. In my mind, anyway. Zucchini: the most agreeable of vegetables. It blends in with everyone, but it's never obsequious or false to itself. Sweet potatoes: the grandmother of vegetables. Very cozy and welcoming. Cauliflower: kind of bland, devoid of personality, but it could surprise you sometimes. Like a dull guy who occasionally tells a funny joke at the water cooler. Broccoli: feisty. Like a terrier. Spinach: kind of dour, but a loyal friend. Kale: has a fierce sense of individuality, but like spinach, is a loyal friend. Kale's affections last for life. Corn: this one is kind of a party animal. Corn is still drinking beer and making a mess when you'd like to be closing up. Tomatoes: a little sloppy. The kind of vegetable that needs to be reminded to tuck its shirt into its pants. Cabbage: not invited t

The return of Rudolph

Rudolph is our small furry friend, whom I've never seen. He visited the kitchen last night while D was up late. I know this because: 1) A large sonic device is plugged in right in front of the crack between the oven and the wall. The sonic devices in the living room have kept Rudolph away from there, his previous hideaway. Apparently the cracks between appliances and the wall are harder to reach. 2) The mop has been moved from the hall closet to the kitchen closet. This means D tried to capture Rudolph. 3) A turtle magnet I haven't seen in a while is now on the fridge. That means it fell behind the oven and D found it during his interactions with Rudolph. (I am praying hard that Rudolph is a boy, since we don't want to find many small Rudolphs.) What makes me feel better about this whole thing is that mice are apparently everywhere this winter; even my brother has had problems with them. And this little guy seems to stay behind the oven and only appears around 4 am (only D

happy birthday e!

[Posted by Bearette's husband until she has Internet access] e was born today! 8 pounds even, a cute and healthy baby boy. He likes to stick out his tongue just a little, and move his mouth around. The hospital gave him a little white hat with a purple pom pom. Bearette is tired but happy. Pictures soon.
