some birthdays flew by while i was computer-free or in transit or just sitting vegetable-like on the couch.

xiane knows that we remembered her birthday. on the day after, tom called her radio show and chorused her with happy birthday, elvis-style.

dahliablue, i saw the congrats yesterday and realize it was earlier. i just want to tell you how happy i am to know you.

magn0lia, this is probably a stealth wish, since i don't think you read LJ much these days. happy birthday, though, and i hope you had a good one. :)

had a good NYE. i was exhausted, but i went anyhow. it was good to see all the usual folks, though i missed, twilight_spirit. (it's okay, tim, i know you had stuff to do at home.)

crashed at fil and jonah's. i like spending time with those guys. then we had lunch with jonah on wednesday and came home. we did walk from the apartment to tenley in the misty foggy drizzle. that was most excellent, but now boy is longing to live in DC again. boy drove home, as i was tired. he's such a good boy.

we stopped at walmart for wiper blades and magnets (michael's has been sold out for two weeks on the magnets, so i broke down and went to walmart) and thistleseed (it's half the price the *chain* grocery stores charge).

we have a moat again. the sump pump has been running nearly non-stop. i hope it keeps raining. we need replenished groundwater in virginia if we want to avoid massive water restrictions next summer.

boy took the trash out. i woke up at 1:30pm and i'm just too tired to move. slept nearly 12 hours. i should probably eat something.

i'm watching world link tv's world music...

and Mary Jane Lamond's video for Charles Street Reel (Mo Ghille Mór Foghain'each) came on, though i missed the intro tag (had to catch it at the end).

it's not often that i fail to even *recognize* a language being sung.

wow.

She's from Cape Breton. I really liked the song. I'll have to keep an eye out for her.
