Yesterday I put in a full day of work, snagged dry ice and gel-packs and padded envelopes, got six orders of truffles ready for shipping, and still had time to wander around the South End with D and discojesus! We discovered the bizarre wonder of a chocolate calzone with homemade vanilla ice cream.

I feel so accomplished. I even had time to discover that dry ice burnsssss, precious, yes it does, and when placed in a damp spoon it does a little rattly dance. Had a brief urge to fill up a jack o'lantern with some and bike through the neighborhood at night all headless horseman-y, but a) no jack o'lantern and b) I'm not so good at riding around one-handed.

discojesus, for the record, is a hoot to be around. Soft-spoken, wry, and tolerant of small dogs and slightly spacey hosts. And I'm not just saying that because he'll be living right down the street and D will probably forget to get our house keys back from him.

...the calzone ould be godly, or could be such a mistake...how was the texture of the doughy bits?

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

The dough was crisp and crunchy and not too thick; the overall impression was like eating a chocolate crepe that had shifted shape a little bit. (And grown some bananas).

...mmm, mmm, mmmm...sometimes growing a chocolate-covered banana is a good thing...(big tacky wink)...

Hee hee hee!

...sorry to be so disgraceful!

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

I was just thinking how glad I was that you were on my friendslist, actually. ;)

[ngakmafaery.livejournal.com]

...aw! Very sweet! If you like simple-minded with occasional naughty or goofy, then I'm your man or lady...

[ngakmafaery.livejournal.com]

...and people get so confused if you don't just pick one that they can relate to...

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes, the great naughty/goofy dichotomy! So silly--any student of the great Stan Laurel knows that you can embrace both. :)

...I meant more the man or lady! ahahaha!

[oakenguy.livejournal.com]

Ah, gotcha. ;) I've lived too long in Cambridge/Somerville to be phased by that, methinks...

[ngakmafaery.livejournal.com]

...I used to visit a household in which nobody there was the original birth gender...and yet it was still hard to tell who had wound up as which designation...

...oh! You guys live in/near Boston! I met a super nice lady at that Amma thing who just moved there to work with some group that has to do with environmental education, and is now temporarily stuck living with her sister's family and a baby that never sleeps. Any ideas/leads on a decent place for her to live? I think she'd be quiet and on the modest and spiritual side, not a major party babe, maybe going to do some graduate work now on environmental stuff plus educating teens about it...

Hmm...the only person I directly know is my friend Naomi, who posted this ad: http://www.livejournal.com/community/davis_square/332963.html?mode=reply

I think there've been a fair number over in the davis_square community?

For the record, she told me to hang on to the keys. ;) Something about feeding the monster if you guys are away, or something like that that I didn't quite understand.

Basically it means that you're family now and you get to hang out at our house all the time. Am I the only Southern Moocher around here? Geez. Oh, and we're leaving our dog to you if we die in a fiery crash on the highway or something.

Btw, if you gave me this Nina Nastasia song, thankyou, thankyou, thankyou.
