Some of my fics got accepted to All About Spike! *bounce bounce bounce* I think I scared girlwithjournal just a bit by squeeing lots when I read my e-mail.

I got to witter to livredor tonight about things that she'd kind of missed, being in Edinburgh for the weekend. This was also good.

"Alias" was fun tonight; psychopepsquad made very good food. Ate too much. Curse you, psychopepsquad! Curse you! But she's being so adorably bouncy about JetGirl, it's entirely endearing.

Sleepiness is causing my brain to funnel out my forehead, so I think I'll take a hint and head off.

The power of the web

OK, that may have made my day; I just heard from a dear friend with whom I'd lost complete and utter touch (I thought I had her home address, but it turns out she's in Geneva now anyway); she managed to find my address through the Berkeley site. So despite how mopey I might be for any other reason, I'm certainly going to bounce around now for quite a while.

I went to listen to AIR out on Sproul today, after German. They're really sounding good. I'm dissatisfied with their arrangement of "Galileo," but this probably just 'cause I know the original so very well. But they're missing harmonies! It could, to be fair, be because they were missing one of their five girls. tzeentch was there. I also picked up a copy of the Daily Cal; there's an article in it today on the SCA. This makes me laugh.

Afterwards I went and got a pumpkin smash at Jamba Juice (this seems to be swiftly becoming my standard lunch), pausing on the way to get a free slice of pizza.... from the Hillel group, who were giving away pizza under a sukkah. I'll allow it to be called a sukkah because it did actually have green stripes on it. :) Anyway, at Jamba Juice, I ran into Kenji and a couple of his friends; they'd evidently gone there after AIR was finished. And I got yet another new quarter (Missouri) as change. It's got a canoe.

Then I went and sat in the place leech showed me by Strawberry Creek, and did some work. After a while, I noticed that there were masses and masses of crayfish in the stream. I knew that they were supposed to be there, but I hadn't seen any; however, once I saw one, I just kept seeing them all over, because they become very easy to spot once you know what to look for. There were red adults (smaller than my dad's crayfish, I'd say) and little brown-grey juveniles. Also, earlier, I saw two blue dragonflies mating (too small for bluebottles, I think). The spot is very good for people-watching. Or doing work. Not both. I eventually left because I was attracting too many crawly insects, and I thought I might drop my papers in the water if I kept wriggling.

Must remember to ask my dad what on earth a crayfish might be doing with half a leaf of ivy.

My mom sends me neat things.

This is very cool.
