Where the bells they do ring and the little birds they sing
I don't know what I did to deserve dreaming that I bailed on a boring and alienating party and ran into Van Heflin who was sneaking out of a similar dinner function, but it was great.
Although the MBTA fell over to the point that it was faster to walk to Porter Square than wait for the next bus—so I did—I still met![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
choco_frosh at the bookstore and we set off for an afternoon of hanging out, which turned out to involve discovering the Boston Printmakers' North American Print Biennial 2017 at the Lesley University Arts Center (where I fell in love with Neal Harrington's The Fish Lady of Toad Suck Holler (2016), which I cannot afford at $850 an ink-washed woodcut but long for anyway, because it looks even better in person) and Harvard's I ♥ Science festival at the Museum of Natural History (where I petted a gravid hissing cockroach and had a wonderful conversation about jellyfish) and winding up at Tatte's afterward for hot tea and baked goods. It never rained on us very hard and I have a money cowrie in my pocket, from the Boston Malacological Club. I may be taking my ungodchild to the aquarium next week.
And now I am watching figure skating with my mother, because that is the important thing about the Winter Olympics.

I really enjoyed what I heard tonight! (And I saw Scott Hamilton do some skating, which I always enjoy, even if backflips are no longer involved.) I think I left before Kristi showed up. My mother has the TV.

I know one is supposed to be cool about unattainable art, but I really want it! (

The biennial is running into March, if you want to see them in person. There are other excellent things in the show; I just imprinted.

It's probably to make up for being stuck on a train.

I do, actually. I haven't in years, but I suspect it's not something I've forgotten how to do. I enjoyed it.
If the Boston Pride drafts Noel in 2028, God willing and the nuclear clock don't click over, we'll tell her to let you and Spatch in ...
Fingers crossed for all of that, then. I would like to see my godchild on ice.
