There are joyful things to report
Sep. 10th, 2008 08:32 am* Apparently, if you pump up your tires, cycling is much, much easier. I didn't have to walk up hills! Delight!
* My brother and his housemate are newly enamoured with green tea, and with Green-Tea-Guy from the tea shop. I stopped by last night with J and they did a tea ceremony for us, and told us all of their newfound tea knowledge, and I started off a new beanie for Kyle, who is crocheting like crazy. Also, he showed us his garden, which made me happy. Growing things!
* I got an email from someone I met at APSA, which was nice. They're working in a different area from me (real-life pirates on the high seas!), so it'll be interesting hearing more about their work.
That is all for now! On with Chapter Two restructuring! Viva excessive use of exclamation marks! Viva morning coffees!
UPDATE: Oh my! I just may pop...even more excitement...I just got mail (which is quite thrilling in itself), quite unexpectedly, Agenda the magazine from South Africa that I wrote for a while ago, sent me two copies of the issue I was published in. I had kind of given up hope of ever getting a copy, because of the trouble sending money to them, but now I have an actual, real, printed, book-sized thing that my writing is in, with pictures, that actual, real, people have (presumably) read.
I think I may need to run up and down the corridor for a bit until my desire to make little squeeking noises and bounce up and down passes.
