We (work colleagues) had a going-away lunch for Eric today at the Taj, which I have to remember is possibly Boulder's best Indian restaurant, despite the sort of second-class nature of the stripmall it lives in.

This evening, we stopped at a (much seedier) nearby stripmall to check out the laundromat for reference for the next time people are making the laundry machines in the building a big pain to use. It's a very nice laundromat, though it lacks the laundry centrifuge that was a key feature of my favorite all-night facility when I lived in Boulder. We also poked our heads in the carniceria next door, mostly because I wanted to know what a carniceria was. Apparently, it is a Mexican grocery. (I had guessed "meat shop", or butcher's, based on the roots, but I guess they sell all kinds of foodstuffs.)

It's good to be here! I've heard over and over again that people had live journals and were using the to keep in touch.. but I never imagined the amount of traffic. I feel like this could achieve an Athena-cluster-zephyr-storm level of distraction and social interaction. Just what I need!

You have NO IDEA.

But it is a really wonderful way to bring distant friends into your peripheral awareness.

Plus people you don't know at all can respond to your posts randomly. That's kinda neat.

Just so long as there is no way for 'bots to wander in and fill my inbox with spam, I can live with that. And who knows? Maybe I do know you!

Well, you know me, but it's been quite a long time...
