There's been a helicopter buzzing my neighborhood all afternoon; I'd been thinking it was the big orange Coast Guard rescuechopper patrolling up and down the beach, but the news just said that a woman's fallen under a train at the Morse Red Line stop, so I suppose it's a newscopter or five. The Morse stop is creepy enough without having to stand there wondering if she jumped or fell or got pushed, and where. {shudder} One hopes that this will be resolved by this time tomorrow so I can get over to the LJ MeetUp, because right now the trains are being routed around on the express tracks from Howard to Granville.
So for my LJ's first birthday, which is today, it gets the Democratic National Convention to snark about all week. It's been slow so far, mostly because they've got the protestors shut away in the proverbial disused lavatory with the "Beware of the Leopard" sign, but I expect by Thursday the state of higgledy-piggledy will have set in in earnest. Immeasurably glad I don't live in Boston this week. Obama's keynote speech is tomorrow night, and will undoubtedly pre-empt most of our local programming.
It was nice out Saturday night, so I ended up walking home from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
cassielsander's bad-movie-party, thereby covering the rest of the distance to my place that I hadn't done after Boardgames MeetUp a couple weeks ago. Exercise goal so far this year has been going much better than usual, despite the rotten weather we've been plagued with. (It's been Octoberish pretty much solidly since mid-March; needing a fleece-hoodie at the end of July is so profoundly unnatural that my mind is about to snap from it.) I think I have lost a bit of weight, or at any rate the squashiness seems to have compacted somewhat. I wish I had a bicycle, I feel like I'm missing out on one of the few attractions my otherwise godforsaken but close-to-bike-paths neighborhood does offer...
Blog housekeeping: After much pondering, I have been unable to come up with the identity of this entrant from the "won't you guess my name?" meme of recent weeks. Congratulations, Mystery Contestant, and won't you please introduce yourself if you're still reading?
So, anyone making guesses as to the theme song for Kerry's big number on Thursday? Clinton appropriated "Don't Stop Thinking About Tomorrow"; will this year's challenger make his entrance to "Change is Gonna Do Me Good"?
Or maybe "Won't Get Fooled Again"?
