Flexitarianism... no, perverts, it's not what you're thinking.

Adventures of the day have included removing one arm from my Aeron chair (whee, I felt like--like--a mechanical engineer, there for a moment!) and making hummus from scratch. Small things, yes, small fun things are good. And goddamn a lot of small pieces came out of that Aeron when I finally got the arm off, so I should be all set. Even if my warranty is void void void void void.

Oh, and another happy moment came when I found out B and D are going to stay in town after all, instead of moving away next year! I know it's theoretically sad that D won't be going to grad school, but I just love them and I never see them and now the friendship will have more time to deepen. And, as B happily said, this way they can have kids sooner... ah, well, B is so tolerant and open that I know I won't lose her friendship over it, and she really wants the little crawlers. :) I was at her place for the Super Bowl last night when I learned all this, by the way, and walked home during the 2nd half of the game. The streets were dead empty, the kind of thing that makes you think about The Stand and wonder where all the people are.

Hmm... I'm alive and happy. I am excited about the books I bought Saturday, and about the word flexitarian. Our taxes are done. And now it's time for sleep.

current music: I wanna fuck you like an animal... I wanna feel you from the in. side. out. You bring me closer to god... (NIN)

I can't believe that I'm a flexitarian! I now have a name for myself... weird!

On the 'Little Crawlers' theme... I hope you and I can still be friends even though I have a little thing that dribbles and sits on the floor and isn't a cat! The fact that I have 2 cats and only one child must go some way on making it into your good books (and the fact that I truly love all 3 equally). ;)

Yeah, I am trying to be a flexitarian too. Yesterday I had like 1 pepperoni on my pizza and that was all my meat, so I guess I'm succeeding.

And, of course we are still friends, you crawler spawner, you. I always worry about the other way around--that all my friends are going to go through this massive life change and essentially leave me behind in favor of other parents. But I was never worried about that with you. :)

Hell no! Other parents can be appalling. They think their children are cuter than mine... as if! Give me my childless friends anyday.

So, did I miss something? The reason for taking off the arm of the chair is? Also, you can't claim that it's not what I'm thinking, especially when you post your 'current music.' :P

Not to mention current mood. :P

I'm not sure I can think of a reason to leave chair arms ON an office chair... all they're good for is leaning on, thus ruining posture and contributing to repetitive strain injury. :b

I wanted to take the arms off my Aeron immediately, but saw it wasn't easy and didn't want to void the warranty. So I simply lowered them all the way and ignored them. But lately they've been bumping my keyboard tray in such a way that I couldn't get a good ergonomic alignment, and suddenly I realized I didn't care about the warranty anyway.

I got the other arm off this morning and took MUCH better notes on where all the little pieces go. So if I ever want to unmutilate it, I should be able to. :)

Yay for B&D staying. They are going to have beautiful little crawlers. :-D BTW: You know I wouldn't abandon you for crawler spawners.

[flexagon]

I know. :) You too are on my not-worried-about list. *hugs*

Actually, I worry about you even less than B, because you won't go crazy and be able to talk about nothing else for five years, and that is likely to happen to B. Oh well, so I'll listen for five years.
