annelarissa's here! she's here!!!!

she's here and the truck full of her and jenny's stuff is empty. it took anney, her mom and stepdad and scottxwl and later rach and me about 1 hour to get everything into the apartment. amazing. she's here!!!!!!!!!!

and i need a new friday plan that doesn't involve getting on the mass pike in rush hour traffic. probably i need to go to work earlier and leave earlier. which means i need to go to bed earlier on thursdays. which means i can't really do laundry at my parents' house. pooh.

the potential will/bran story is just gnawing at me. but there are several obstacles at this point. A. i have not actually finished reading SotT. yeah, that's right. i've been spending all my time with the slash. bad bad bad. but i'm close and i'll finish soon. B. i can't plot for crap and this story needs a plot. but beyond the sort of general plot concept - which i have almost formed - it's going to take some attention to detail that i don' have a great capacity for. i mean, the books feel so random to me... i can't keep track of the rules about what the dark and light can and can't do to whom and when. very confusing. C. oh, i don't know. but i like things in groups of three.

i did get to talk on the phone to camillafarfalla about the whole will/bran thing finally and there was much crazed squeeing. ahhhh. always feels better to vent the fannish craziness with her.

i also talked to C who just got back from connecticut where she was organizing yale workers. she pulled off some amazing stuff - got replacement workers to bail out and join the strikers. and then ended up negotiating to get those people jobs when the strike ended. impressive work, my friend.

laundry

I'm usually in the general neighborhood of your workplace for the period 5-6PM. perhaps pickup and start of pre-sorted laundry is a possibility?

sorted? ahaha.

that would be totally amazing. how general neighborhoos are we talking here? would this actually be convenient for you?

here's the regular schedule, this week excepted: I come down 129 from 93 around 4:50PM. I consider a stop at the Atlantic to not be out of the way at all. In biking season, I park along the lake where we met up the other day, do my thing, and leave a bit under an hour later. I have a fair amount of latitude as to where I park for the ride - if I have an errand at the Atlantic, I'll park there, do my ride, come back, shop, and leave.

The bike ride wil end by the beginning of November - it will move inside or to Salem/Marblehead, but I'll still be doing 129 at the same time.

Sorting means giving me a bag of stuff I can throw in the washer and then the dryer without my having to figure out whether or not it can mix with the other stuff in the load.

ok, well, it sounds like we'll be able to work something out - much to my delight. though i just remembered that i told claire i would stay with her this week. though... rach and i would like to stay with you guys on saturday night, if that's ok. maybe you could pass that word around?

I think emriver and I had the same sort of idea except mine included you dropping them here some time of Thursday before practice.

i think i prefer dad's version. i mean, clearly, as its less work for me. :) but it's not so much the 'work' as the driving. that would be a extra hour in the car for me. i'd almost rather lose the hour of sleep.
