• Today I felt like I’d been guzzling caffeine all day, even though I hadn’t. At one point I IMed Andreas shouting, “MY BRAIN FEELS LIKE A FOREST OF EXCLAMATION POINTS!”

• Today we received our invitation for my mother’s wedding/commitment ceremony this summer. The invitations prominently feature a big yoni. Of course!

• Tonight Dre and I had planned a special date to celebrate his raise/promotion at work. The first restaurant was closed on Monday/Tuesdays, second was shut down completely, and ultimately we ended up at an ambiance-free falafel shop on The Ave, and I was so hungry that I forgot to raise my $4 falafel to toast Andreas’ success. Oh well.

• Sometimes I think my constant chatter is a weapon of sorts. I can set it on stun and just blast away and whoever gets caught in the crossfire just sits there sort of stupefied, mouthing “Does it ever stop?” Even Andreas is stunned at times, and he’s had eight years to get used to it.

• … GOLDEN CRUMBLIES!
