dan4th! You’re awesome!Happy birthday
2008-06-18 13:53I’m too sleepy to write about it myself, so I’ll just point you to this entry in which plumtreeblossom writes all about our very social holiday.
plumtreeblossom writes all about our very social holiday.I’ve had a wonderfully social last few days.
On Wednesday a bunch of us hung out withpheromone to celebrate her birthday. It was a delightful gathering in honour of a delightful person! plumtreeblossom and I had a great time.
plumtreeblossom and I went back to her place afterwards, so I got to wake up next to my sweetie and have coffee with her. On my way in to work Thursday I got Grigori Yefimovich¹ inspected.
Thursday after work I metcathijosephine, and drove with her to xmelancholia’s, where we caught up for a while, cathijosephine gave xmelancholia some excellent socks, and I got to play with big huge wonderful friendly dogs (a mastiff and a German shepherd). Yay for doggie time! And yay for seeing xmelancholia; it had been too long.
Fridaydocorion had arranged to get group-rate tickets to see Handel’s Messiah performed by the Handel and Haydn Society at Symphony Hall (very near where I work). My typical inability to get anywhere on time was in evidence, but in a somewhat unusual fashion: I somehow managed to get there an hour early. Anyway, I crashed docorion’s dinner nearby and at the correct time, we were all back at Symphony and plumtreeblossom and the rest of the group congregated successfully. The concert was delightful, although I felt a little odd at something so liturgical. I had never been inside Symphony Hall before, and I loved checking out the décor. I’d have loved to see what the original paint job looked like (there was very elaborate moulding and detail work, but it had all been repainted in a neutral colour). I think we all had a great time. Thanks, docorion!
Saturdayplumtreeblossom and I got together with dan4th and dabunny at their place and ordered in Thai food and had a lovely time. Along the way, I learned probably three or four little facts about hockey, which at least doubles what I know about the game.
This morning (Sunday morning, although I guess technically I mean “yesterday morning” at this point),plumtreeblossom and I had a yummy and relaxed brunch at The Burren, and then I came home and resumed work on my plumbing.
My life is good!

Awesome date
2007-07-29 19:23So I had an awesome date with plumtreeblossom last night, with the help of nex0s, docorion, dan4th and dabunny, the awesome cast and crew of the ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)
theatreatfirst festival, gilana, pheromone, Sears, and two lovely kitties!
First I metnex0s, docorion, and plumtreeblossom at Yoshi’s (a Japanese restaurant near plumtreeblossom’s house and theatreatfirst’s digs) for dinner and catching up while nex0s is in town. Then plumtreeblossom had to run off to get ready for her performance, and docorion suggested ice cream, so nex0s and I accompanied him to J.P. Licks in Davis Square. It was really great to get caught up with nex0s and hear some of her stories! Then nex0s and I went to the performance, where we had the unexpected delight of running into dan4th and dabunny.
The performance was a festival of short one-act plays by playwright Mark Harvey Levine, and it was fabulous!nex0s recently wrote a bit about the festival from an audience perspective, and plumtreeblossom’s post here talks about how well the festival went. It was really, really fun! I love the format — little ten-minute plays are sort of the short short stories of the stage, and I really enjoy them. Levine’s playlets are witty and entertaining and often very sweet and very funny, and the performances were all very well done.
After the plays I stayed to help a bit with strike (which mostly consisted of trying not to be in the way, since I didn’t know where anything went, but I did some vacuuming), and with such a large cast and crew (except for a little bit of doubling-up, the cast of each little play was different) the strike went pretty quickly. Then it was off togilana’s house for a fabulous cast party. I was incapacitated by the heat for a little bit of it¹, but once I sat still for a while and cooled down I had a great time. plumtreeblossom and I spent quite a bit of the party hanging out with the lovely pheromone (who lit up the stage as a firefly lightning bug in “In the Jar”, not to mention her development in “Cabfare for the Common Man”), and we ended up walking her home after the party. And of course, she invited us in, and, well, there was enticing green liquid. And we had some. And it was OH THE YUMMY! and we all sat out on her porch and had a lovely lovely time before plumtreeblossom and I called a cab to go to her place. (It would have been a perfectly delightful walk if it hadn’t been quite so late and we hadn’t been quite so engreenified.)
“They kiss. Lights out.”
This morning, having gotten to sleep at FOUR THIRTY IN THE MORNING, we slept until noon, with kitties keeping us company. Then we went to Sound Bites for excellent brunch, and went to Sears to getplumtreeblossom an air conditioner in advance of her mother’s visit next weekend. And then I drove back to Quincy, filled a prescription, checked on cathijosephine’s cat Chickenfinger, had dinner, and came home. I haven’t started catching up on LiveJournal.
Wow, that was a good, full, fun weekend!
¹ It has been really hot and humid in the Boston area for a few days, and between thyroid hormone increasing my metabolism, longer hair after a many-year hiatus, and testosterone producing more muscle, my ability to handle the heat is diminished.

Recent highlights
2007-06-04 21:43No time to do these justice, but here are a few highlights of the past few days:
- A couple lovely dates with plumtreeblossom, involving yummy food (notably chicken mole and plantain-and-cheese empanadas at Tú Y Yo near her house — and she had stuffed breaded cactus, which tasted like it would have been yummy to people who can stand the taste of cilantro) and yummy company
- A very bizarre movie with plumtreeblossom at her place. (Thanks to vanguardcdk for lending us the DVD.)
- A reading that plumtreeblossom and I went to of Shakespeare’s Worst Play EVAR, which was nevertheless quite a huge amount of fun.
- A fab party at darxus’ place, at which I got to hang out with many wonderful people, among them dan4th, dabunny, minerva42, underwatercolor, and of course darxus and cathijosephine — and at which I got to talk on the phone to ragingamazon in Thailand, thanks to the most excellent devoken
- Pancakes, waffles, and bacon courtesy of cathijosephine and dan4th.
- An intense thunderstorm (which hit Quincy, but bypassed plumtreeblossom in Somerville). This would have been delightful if it had not started just as I was getting the lawnmower ready.
Yay, postcards!
2007-05-04 08:08I’ve been meaning to post lately to thank gishmi1ish and desiringsubject for the postcards they sent me, and this morning I got one from delightful dan4th! Yay, postcards!
Also, last night I had a lovely dinner with Derek, whom I hadn’t seen to sit down and chat with in way too long. (We bumped into each other at the concert last Sunday.)
