Many thanks to ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
holyoutlaw for an enjoyable dinner at Szechuan Bistro last night. (It was also great to see janeehawkins briefly, as she hung out with a couple of kid friends watching anime.) Luke gave me the goods on what's going on in his life, with a mixture of very sad news (about juliebata's brother) and incredibly great news (about another friend's health -- but it hasn't been generally announced yet, so I guess I'm mum). He also loaned me the The Work of Director Michel Gondry DVD, which collects the music videos made by the director of Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (songs by Bjork, Chemical Brothers, Cibo Matto, Kylie Minogue, and others), and he also loaned me a DVD of Devo music videos. Whip it good! I returned the Brooklyn Funk Essentials CDs he had previously loaned me (great stuff!), and loaned him the DVD of Blueberry (a.k.a., Renegade).
Other than that, yesterday I wrote a few last minute replies for the Chunga 11 lettercol and did some more proofreading (it's "Barsoom," not "Barroom"!) A couple days earlier, my proofreading confidence was shaken when my belief that the possessive form of the personal pronoun "one" is "ones" turned out to be wrong, wrong, wrong (that is, three people disagreed with me): it's "one's". I blame James Joyce for my misbelief. But you just have to be strong and get right back on that horse and keep riding it into the ground.
Today I am in theory having lunch withakirlu, for more gossip, larfs, and tears. Maybe last minute work on Chunga tonight, although if all goes as planned it will be ready for the printshop tomorrow. Then maybe I can finally get to the North American distribution of Floss 5. And then what? Maybe finish that ghu-damned TAFF report? Argh, no, yes, argh!
