• When I sat down to write this list, there was some clever thing I really wanted to tell you, but now I have no fucking idea what it was. I got distracted by math and my cat, who is loudly trying to drain the ocean via her water dish.

• I bought a D80. Kind of by accident. As in I knew what I wanted but I didn’t know when I left the house I was going to come home with one. Now they will have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands.

• Thomas called me at work today in the early afternoon. He wanted to know when I was coming to visit. And did I love them? And was Auntie Laura my best friend? Then his mother took the phone and said though my day might be busy and long, at least I hadn’t cleaned up puke five times already, and I thought that was a very good point.

• I bought 12 double rolls of toilet paper on sale for $8.99 and carried them home under my arm along Robson after work. TP is usually ridiculously expensive downtown. I don’t know why this is.

• I keep forgetting to tell you I got this, not long after the punk rock jesus post. Ward from Mondonation emailed to tell me I was unlikely to see anyone walking around with it, as someone had typed in the belief but hadn’t followed through. Can you fuckin’ believe it? Turns out I do know the person who owns this shirt.

• Oh yeah, and also, the sock. I finished it. I think it was three whole days before Christmas; my mother sewed it together for me. Here it is hanging from her kitchen cupboards.* If you have $10,000-$20,000 to spare, email me and I’ll make you one, except it will say your name. Seriously. (Kitchen not included.)

• I just noticed the little icon on my computer for the calendar program shows the current month and day. Technology today! I smack my forehead in wonder.

• I was in Dallas the week before last. Texas. On business. Some completely boring to Texans and almost certainly everyone else photos are here.

• I am a sneaky potato.

* Tide table. Sorry. I have no idea how that happened. Here’s the sock.
