for old time's sake

* This past weekend I went on a customary summer East Coast tour, this time with a visit to college friends (just typing that sentence made me feel old). I imagine it's strange visiting your old campus under any circumstances, but it feels particularly odd in New York when things change so aggressively quickly: my dorm of two years is no longer a dorm! The diner where we spent most of spring semester senior year, gone! The Strand's Financial District annex, gone! The Starbucks where that nun yelled at me - no, that is still there. Anyway. It was rad and nostalgic and mostly worth slogging around in the storms in entirely porous shoes with my rusty umbrella.

* Those of you of my acquaintance who are crochetters: is it terribly tacky to crochet a whole blanket in single crochet? I like the way it looks, though not as much as some of the actual patterns I've seen, but those are so haaaard and I don't understand them!! UGH FINE I WILL LOOK AT THEM SOME MORE, god, you're so bossy.

* Have you watched The Hour yet? You should watch The Hour.
