quasify

It’s been bizarrely warm in Boston this week, inducing massive inappropriate paroxisms of spring fever. Work? On a day like today? I’ve even been leaving my windows open (it’s January friggin 9th!) to clear some of the dog related funk out of my house.

The downside of this gorgeous temporary climate shift is the thawing out of the long dead street rodents, frozen since early November. This week they’re making rapid progress along their inexorable path from three dimensions to two. At first I found this to be unbelievably disgusting, now, somewhat of a gruesome curio, definitely not to be stepped on.

Allston, I love ya, but I can’t wait to leave.

If you’re interested in temporally specific miscellany from my upcoming trip to Tokyo check my new temporary blog q813. Or heck throw the q813 feed in your feed reader and get the mind-numbingly exciting updates in pseudoreal (quasireal?) time. And you might as well add my main quasify feed at the same time if you haven’t already. Cool.

It’s been a good weekend. My dog’s been gone and I miss her, but other than that, everything’s gone well. Had people over last night, had fun with a three hour video Skype call to Japan. Free international video conferencing, these are fun times we live in.
