Feral February, day 0

[dianec42]

Today I:

* scored 2 lawn tickets to Paul Simon at Tanglewood in June
* drove Mr Diane to the airport for yet another not-fun family thing
* had lunch at the mall & determined that
** "Albany spicy" is about the same level as "Diane spicy"; and
** mall ramen is pretty decent if you set your expectations appropriately
* went shopping:
** investigated duvet covers at Macy's & took some pictures to show Mr Diane
** exercised my Comic Timing Super Power, Pants edition and scored a pair of black corduroys for like 20 bucks(*)
** bought some magazines and a crochet book at Barnes & Noble
* by which time I accidentally ended up having to drive home through Albany rush hour which is thankfully also pretty mild.

(*) the ONE PAIR of black cords in the entire Macy's; in my size; on sale; fit perfectly; and I HAD A COUPON. The cashier didn't even know they had cords in stock. I'm pretty sure some of these magazines cost more than the pants.

Nimbus is very happy with his Macy's bag. I'll try and get pictures.

Tomorrow will be more yarn shop adventures, and turning on the oil heat because yikes is it going to get cold here. I am unsupervised for the next 6 days. Fun!

I feel like buying pants that fit is one of those feats that we should commemorate with a ballad or a cave painting.

We're eyeing the Weird Al concert in July (likely to book tickets this week) and we'll probably stick around and try some of the Tchaikovsky Mozart concerts that weekend...

Hmm, I haven't seen Weird Al in a decent venue in AGES. Are you thinking lawn, or actual seats in the shed?

Probably actual seats in the shed so we don't have to worry about weather (apparently the hack if you prefer lawn is to buy the cheapest seats and then you can abandon them for the lawn). It's on a Tuesday so it's not sold out (or anything like it) yet, so we may actually try for seats farther in in the shed.
