We just had a transformer blow in my neighbourhood, so aq.org (and my email) are down at the moment. My phone is on and has a reasonable charge. EDIT: It was back up a couple hours later.

Assuming no more surprises, I plan on being at Diesel tonight (probably between 6 and 7).

[EDIT: We’ll be going across the street to Picco for pizza and/or sandwiches, with ice cream after if anybody feels like it. However, we’ll still be meeting in front of Addis Red Sea. I’ve put my name (“Jay”) on the waiting list at Picco. They say a worst-case wait for a party our size would be about 20min if they’re busy.]

Hi. I tried to call yesterday afternoon to make a reservation for tonight, but Addis wasn't open yet. I forgot last night. I just called now (as soon as they were open today), and they can't seat a party our size any time near 7:30. Eek! So I'm afraid we'll need to meet there at 7:30 and go someplace else. There's the very fancy pizza place across the street and a half-block or so down -- does anybody remember the name of that so I can call up and make sure they can accommodate us?

Also, if you see this before you leave and you will have a cell phone with you, can you comment with the number? I've screened comments.

For reasons I have not yet sussed out, I seem to have lost a few hours worth of incoming mail. (It’s the sort of thing that happens when the home directory partition on my server is full, but it wasn’t.) So in the unlikely event that you sent me mail between about 2:00am and 9:00am today, I didn’t get it. The problem, whatever it was, resolved itself without my intervention.

I’m going to look through my logs and see if I can suss out what happened, but I won’t have a chance to do that for a couple hours, so I thought I’d give people the heads-up.

[EDIT: OK, I found all the mail (slightly garbled), and there was nothing important.]

I'd really like to see the HBO documentary Baghdad ER that I understand is showing on HBO on Sunday night, but (1) I’ll be on the road driving back from NYC, and (2) I don’t have cable. Could somebody record it for me? Thanks!

In case anybody’s keeping track, I’m planning on being at Diesel tonight, and maybe even a little early (for me, like 6:30 instead of 7).

Hi! I would be happy to add you to my Friends list, since you asked so sweetly, but unfortunately you commented anonymously, so I have no way of knowing what your LJ username is. If you comment here (either while logged in, or mentioning your username in the comment), I’ll add you. Thanks!

Hi! We are divesting ourselves of stuff in conjunction with our move.

Also, [livejournal.com profile] docorion is getting rid of his grey-blue couch and loveseat, which many of you have sat upon. I’m sure he will consider any offer. $0 will probably win unless there are higher bids.

And some free stuff:free stuff )

No doubt more free stuff will be posted as packing progresses.

I’d told a couple of people (just assuming, not looking at my calendar) that I was going to be at the Diesel tonight. Looking at my calendar, I’m probably not. Yay! I’ll see you all next week.

([livejournal.com profile] xmelancholia, I’m especially sorry to be missing you, since I don’t get to see you very often. Hope to see you soon!)

Just Fy’all’sI, I’m planning on going to tomorrow’s Bi Brunch at Doyle’s.

(Contrary to conventional wisdom, there actually is a measurable correlation between me planning on doing something and actually doing it, and that correlation is even positive.)

I'm not 100% certain of this, but I'm hoping to go contra dancing at the Cambridge VFW tomorrow (Thursday). The dance is from 8:00-11:00. This is a public-service announcement in case anybody else wants to join me.

Does anybody know where in the Boston area I could purchase a neti pot? I have this feeling it would have made this cold go away more quickly.

Howdy! Just a reminder that I’m having a games night at my place this Friday at 7:00pm. See my previous post for more details.

Also, tomorrow *looks at clock* today is your last chance to say hi to [livejournal.com profile] sionnagh and [livejournal.com profile] docorion at the Diesel before they return to their lovely tropical island, so stop by!
beowabbit: (Default)
Howdy. I’ll probably be kind of late to the Diesel tomorrow (probably between 7:00 and 7:30), because I’ll be bringing a [livejournal.com profile] docorion with me from the airport! Those of you who have never met this wonderful person must come hug him and squeeze him and call him George. Yay!

Hi. A sweetie of mine in the NYC area is working on an major project on her laptop, which is rapidly dying. Anybody have a Windows XP-capable laptop that she might be able to borrow for a couple weeks in the New York area? Seems like a long shot, but I thought I'd ask. (I'm not sure exactly what specs she needs; she's doing professional audio and music typesetting on it. She has a way of transferring the data if she can keep her laptop up long enough.)

I am debating between seeing Harry Potter this evening (Fenway 7:05; Assembly Square 8:25 or 8:35, Boston Common 7:15 or 9:20, or Revere 9:25) and going contra dancing. If anybody would like to attempt to influence my decision with offers of company, feel free to use the space below.

Oh, and a happy birthday to [livejournal.com profile] slinkr! And in case I don’t post tomorrow, happy early birthday to [livejournal.com profile] qlewkr!

Ask me five questions about myself, and/or let me know if you’d like me to ask you five questions.

In case anyone cares, I just wanted to mention that I’m probably not going to be at the Diesel tonight. I’m behind on a bunch of things, not least sleep. Everybody give everybody hugs for me!

Whoops, once again I accidentally posted here something I meant to post in [livejournal.com profile] aq_net. Sorry!

As K—— and I plan this weekend, I’m wondering what stretches of time folks are expecting to be at the Flea.

(It’s been a joyful visit so far!)
