Happy birthday, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
skreeky!! -- And lucretia_borgia, and apparently rikchik'n'cnoocy. Wow.
And also, it is Chanukah. *glow* I went to the MIT lighting of the test-tube menorah. No blowtorch, though.
... OMG have I been busy. I mean, when I say that, you know it's serious. My house is a total shambles and I haven't bought but two Xmas gifts (and one Chanukah one* that I gave tonight). Largely it's because work is so insane. (Though not so insane that I couldn't decorate my [office] door with a serious, not to say strident, Hebrew-school-style Chanukah display for the office party tomorrow afternoon. Let's just say it incorporates Al ha-Nisim -- including Bimei Matityahu. I had fun.)
*Actually, there's also the one I bought myself: a doumbek (finally!). It is cobalt blue ceramic. I am inordinately pleased. I have a proper drum! Not just a lame-o tambourine!
Sunday's art show went well. I sold some stuff -- and not only that... ten pairs of my earrings are now in the Out of the Blue Gallery next door to my house. (Deb Priestly came to the show and bought two pairs from me and offered to take more on consignment. Yay!)
Andjessruth's visit was great, except for it getting cut short by half because her new nephew had the audacity to arrive half a day before his scheduled delivery. Doesn't he know about Jewish Standard Time yet? Sheesh. ;-)
Oh yeah, so, this Saturday:
(1) Pirates of Penzance outing to the 12/11 matinee (2pm) at HRG&SP. Please reconfirm if you wish me to order you a ticket.
Short (updated) list of people I have down: me,kalessin, mrmorse, ablock, metoikos +1, red_queen, jweiss.
(Folks who said earlier that they might be interested for this date:saxikath? points?)
(2) See me andladypsyche perform with Honorable Menschen at a Tremont St. Chanukah concert! 7:30-8:30pm at Temple Beth Shalom. All are welcome to attend.
And then there's Shabbat dinner and the Lord Chancellor's housewarming -- both Friday -- and all the assorted Chanukah madness... but never mind that for now. For now I am going to read Coraline (one of several charming little gifts tonight) and go to sleep before it is terribly late, so that I can get up tomorrow and do it all over again.
