Other recent things

I got my first paycheck today! It's strange seeing a paycheck not done by Ceridian (which is the company my mom works for; I've critiqued check layout to her before).

I helped with Hrafn's move yesterday, and it went pretty smoothly. It helped that the new place was close to the old. Still, my impression was that it went very quickly. The new place is an interesting space; I hope it's a successful apartment for everyone living there. (Note to self: it's really past time to get the boxes from the old job out of the car now.)

I painted a tile at one of those paint-your-own-pottery places, and I'm pleased with how it came out (I got it back on Sunday). Even now when I look at it I get satisfaction from having created it. Must remember to do this again soon.

I've run through the Jasper Fforde books and most of Lois McMaster Bujold books as well. Suggestions for other authors I can overdose on? (Or a book.)

This morning I saw a T employee putting a patch on a T map, showing that the end of the green line is switching to bus service. I hadn't realized that they changed the maps that way (nor had I been paying attention to how long those last green line stops will be out of commission).
Other T note: they're going to be busing to Charles (red line) during the long weekend.

I really need to have more finished food around the house; I've been eating weird food too much.

I went to a concert in Copley this noon, a performance by a family quartet (mom on flute, dad on piano, daughter on violin, son on cello). As Queue noted, the fountain water level was lowered, uncovering a space used for the performance, which was very cool. I hadn't realized the fountain was designed to do that. I liked the music, none of which was familiar, though I can't remember what the program was other than a selection from Dvorak' Dumky Trio (likely because Queue mentioned it...).
(Thursdays at noon, all through September, there are free concerts of classical at Copley, sponsored by WCRB. There are two Thursdays left this month I could go. JHT (Jewish Holiday Time) fast approacheth.)

I used my T pass for the first time yesterday. Somehow I feel more like a wage slave.

Thanks again for all the help, boxes and lifting, with -my- move. Good luck with the new job...I look forward to hearing more.

I was glad to help (and wished I could've stayed longer).

And I look forward to hearing more about life in IN, school, plant life, etc. :-)
