i only know how to do updates in 140 characters or less anymore

0. People are talking about NaNoWriMo; my last 3 months I haven't been able to write anything longer than a tweet. What's up with that?

1. HI HI OMG I MISSED YOU ALL SO MUCH HOW WERE YOUR SUMMERS?

got married, moved (back) to Cambridge, the rest of my life since then )

Okay, that's enough of that. Basically, if you're curious about the last three months of my life, my Twitter is probably the best place to find out. Or my Facebook, but I feel like most of us are already friended there (and if not and you'd like to be, ping me in comments :) )

In the meantime, it's supposed to get into the 60s today, so I will probably head down to Mem Drive for a bike ride through the foliage, though unpacking and laundering the winter clothes will also be a priority.

[personal profile] hyounpark and I wandered out to Homecoming yesterday. Didn't get a lot of the food we'd normally eat on a Pioneer Valley Food Run, but we did snag cider donuts from Atkins Farm and pizza from Antonio's. We don't really go for the football; I go more for the people and the music, and yesterday was full of that.

- gave advice to a few earnest and overwhelmed '13s (class of '13, wtf, when did we get so old?!)
- hung out with an adorable 19-month-old for dinner (babies grow crazy fast, and love things that let them make a mess, I'm just sayin':

52-card pickup

finger-lickin' good


- shortened but high-energy Choral Society concert was one of the best I've been to in years. I recognized at least one song from each group (and was bouncing in my seat mouthing along to it, I'm looking at you, Izatate Ikusabitoyo Glee Club boys' marching song), throwing candy at the student conductor is always fun, and we got to show off our bling to the person whose fault it is we even met in the first place (Mallorie, our beloved choral director; steered me towards the small-group Madrigals singers my junior year, where I actually met [personal profile] hyounpark).

(no subject)

Home from 1-day western New England extravaganza. [livejournal.com profile] hyounpark and I had a Rein's picnic, [livejournal.com profile] nolrak is married, I finally met [livejournal.com profile] gordynate, and with [livejournal.com profile] belladonna we all boogied down on the dance floor.

H and I didn't get to Amherst until after 8:00, I was sad about missing Atkins Farm, then [livejournal.com profile] hyounpark won a box of Atkins Farm fudge in the raffle, we threw candy at this year's Nuno, I saw friends old and new, I got Atkins Farms cider on top of it all at the reception afterwards, we sang college songs galore both onstage and then impromptu afterwards, generations of Jeffs harmonizing together, and we are now home with four slices of Antonio's in the fridge for brunch tomorrow. :)

[livejournal.com profile] slwands and [livejournal.com profile] eevieivy, sorry we missed you; we didn't get to Amherst until 8:15, and it sounds like you both were already on your way home then!
