What have I learned today? (By "today" I mean Saturday, technically from midnight to midnight).
* My 15+ year old Converse hightops are still in good shape and comfortable. I dug them out to go dancing to 80s music withhotcabanasauce, chezmax, and indigofire_net; and my feet didn't hurt after two hours- wow. Why did I ever stop wearing them?
* I still enjoy dancing. I'm less self-conscious a dancer than I was the last time I was in a club, whenever the hell that was. (2000? Underworld in Boston?) (Is that claim sensible, or is it wishful thinking? Well, I know that last night I was indeed dancing like nobody was watching... Yay self-confidence?)
* The navy jacket which my Mom bought me in 1990, and which has sat in my closet for 15+ years since it's not appropriate for dinner-wear or other semiformal purposes, by virtue of ill fit and ugly buttons, still fits well enough for dancing, looks fairly snappy, and as a bonus, the inside breast pocket fits a water-bottle.
* The local production of The Importance of Being Earnest is worth seeing (it also runs the 10th-12th).
* As much as I wish Home Hardware were open after 5:30pm on Saturday, it ain't.
* That my new boss bought me a nice new computer for when I start my new job at the end of the month. Mmmmmm, brand new iMac with 2g memory...
* That our lawn possibly still exists, and might be visible in another week of warm weather like this.
* And I learned that our new back-yard neighbours are German and have not one but two small humans in the house.
What did you learn today?
