Five things make a post

[rolanni]

1. Dinner last night at the Riverside Cafe was lovely.  I had spinach and garlic ravioli; Steve had a haddock fillet the size of Montana.  There was good music, the promise of more, and! there was dessert!

2.  I have today performed Marvels, and thereby retired the backlog of House bookkeeping.  All that remains is the SRM bookkeeping, in the fine tradition of saving the best for last.  This means — anybody?  Yes, you there with the purple hair?  Exactly, thank you!  It means that I’m behind on my email.

3.  I need three books, and Miller Library has them all on the shelf.  Have I mentioned lately how very much I like working inside of a library?

4.  The reading lamp in the living room died this morning.  This is not convenient.

5.  My cold has graduated from sandpaper throat to sneeze-and-drip.  Begone cold!  I have no time for this!

Yeah, like that’ll work…

I misread "sandpaper" as "sandpiper" and was wondering what the heck sandpiper throat was. In any event, here's hoping the cold leaves soon.

Depending on the style and size of the living room, this is, to me, an awesome lamp from Ikea. http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/60103854 I do see that it's $50 now; it was ten dollars less a couple of years ago when I got it. It's very interesting and decorative with the fishing-pole type arch over the room. But it does take some space -- it arches out so that the shade is 6-8 feet away from the base. Mine has a 60-watt equivalent compact fluorescent, and is surprisingly bright, plenty for even my increasingly-light-dependent eyes to read with -- all that huge expanse of glowing paper, I guess.

Hope your cold didn't travel through the intertubes -- I feel kind of drippy this morning. May it go away soon.
