good things

Some things are going well in life. Yesterday I had dinner with moshez, who was passing through Milwaukee. That was lots of fun.

Today at work, I made up a Coomassie blue solution without spilling any. Because if you spill it, you'll end up singing the Coomassie Blues... Also, oddly, I was wearing a blue shirt. Usually, you have a white shirt on the day you end up mixing up blue dye.

Coming soon, I understand there is a filk convention in Ohio.

Ein 'Pas de Deux' für Mensch und Maschine

The commentary is in German, but you can hear part of the interview in English between the dubbing, and anyway, you can just watch the unusual dance: Der mit dem Bagger tanzt.

Drinking

The local newspaper has been running a special series on the issues with alcohol we have around here. People like alcohol around here. Unfortunately, many of them fail to drink to excess in the safe, responsible manner that I do. I recognize that not everyone in Wisconsin can follow the safe and highly-entertaining practice of getting drunk in aryana_filker's living room, but that's worked out well for me.
