In conjunction with our trip to the salon yesterday afternoon for my hair cut, Jeff and I indulged in an evening of shopping downtown. We arrived in town early, so decided we’d go to Borders beforehand. On the way to Borders from where we parked, we passed by the Gap. Jeff suggested, and I concurred–since […]
For Christmas, Jeff gave me a gift certificate for a haircut at the Grooming Lounge; he had been there previously and had written positively of the experience and I had expressed interest in checking it out as well. With shaggy hair badly in need of a trim, I made an appointment for yesterday afternoon, and […]
Here’s a little warning for Metro riders in the DC area: don’t put your cell phone near your farecard. As I noted yesterday, Jeff and I went downtown on New Year’s Eve to meet his college friends for dinner. After we entered the Metro at Pentagon City, I put my $4.00 farecard in my jacket […]
It’s just as I feared would happen. While my TiVo wasn’t wearing a housecoat when I got home this evening, and had not in fact recorded Jerry Springer, it had done something just as bad: it had recorded two episodes of Maury and one of The View. While I apparently have their TiVo, somewhere in […]
Who better to be part of one of my experiences of synchronicity than Brian Greene. Two days ago I wrote about him, then a day later the New York Times published an op-ed he authored about the nature of time. One of the most interesting points he makes is that with a more scientific understanding […]
Jeff already has written about what we did, with whom and where for New Year’s Eve. I’ll admit that with New Year’s Eve being his and my reunion after a week apart over Christmas, I was kind of hoping for a quiet evening alone together. However, I also wanted to support Jeff’s meet-up with his […]
So it’s clich
In less than 8 hours, Jeff is due home via red-eye flight from California. I’ve missed him and can’t wait to see him again; we’ve been apart since last Wednesday. I’ll be picking him up at National Airport–assuming his flight is on time–at 8:30 in the morning then, alas, dropping him off at home before […]
When PBS ran the NOVA “The Elegant Universe” series a few months ago, I missed the first episode but managed to TiVo the second. Since then I’d been waiting for the programs to be re-run, and tonight TiVo picked them up for me. In addition to my longtime fascination with quantum theory, chaos theory and […]
Even before I bought my iPod earlier this month, I’d already ripped about half of my CD collection to MP3s. Since then, I’ve been slowly ripping the other half to AACs (and re-ripping some of the others to AACs as well). A few weeks earlier, though, while starting to clean out some closet space for […]
