Acronym fun; houseguests
It has been brought to my attention by kuro5hin.org that my initials can also be expanded to "Mindless Link Propagation". Maybe I'll take this as a suggestion. But probably not.
Abs hurt today, to the point where I'd much rather lie on the couch and let the cat play hot-water-bottle (hey, he's 75% water too, and his mean body temperature is a few degrees above mine) than do, well, much of anything, but DelphiGoth and L2 are coming over in about another fifteen minutes and I guess I should finish cleaning up the house so L2 has a comfortable place to sleep.

I sat on the couch and cried for half an hour.)
Tonight we are going to see Urn, who are not raffling off another guitar, but it should be a good show anyway. Tomorrow I am going to drag L2 around town and introduce her to other CS Mafiosi. Maybe we'll introduce her to sushi, too. Good times for all.
