eruthrosSo it's just after 3 pm. No-one can come up with anything more for me to do today, so I will sit here and surf the net and get paid for it. Actually, I spent an hour this morning without anything to do because the server was down, and finished reading Le Guin's Planet of Exile. Then I spend another half-hour minimum before anyone could come up with another job for me, and read many news sources. Then at about 2:30 I stymied everyone and there's nothing more for me to do. Lalalalala. *twiddles thumbs*
A typical exchange between me and my supervisor goes like this:
*supervisor hands me work* Thirty minutes later:
Me: I have nothing else to do. Supervisor: You finished xyz? Me: Yes. Supervisor: Already? Me: Yes. Supervisor: You need to slow down!
*sigh*

Anyway. They're marrying gay folks in Portland. Awwww. Go Portland, it's your birthday! *does happy dance of Portland* Now if Seattle just gets on board... Well, I would be happy, that's all.
The Attorney General of New York, Eliot Spitzer, has decided that NY law bars same-sex marriage based solely on the fact that marriage laws use the terms "groom" and "bride" or "man" and "wife." He can bite me. Er, I mean, it seems a rather flimsy argument.

I'm going to the Philadelphia Flower Show with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
lysimache the weekend of March 13-14. There are going to be 100,000 orchids! And other flowers as well! I will probably take an ungodly number of pictures and be tempted by potted plants of many varieties. But then I won't buy them, because really, I can barely keep windowsill herbs alive, let alone orchids. Also, the ticket comes with a discount coupon for Reading Terminal Market, so I will be eating well that weekend.
And then soon after that,m_shell and I are planning on going to Longwood Gardens again during the spring flower display, and then again during the lily and tulip show for Easter. And therefore we will be buying year passes, and hopefully going a lot a lot.
There are many green growing things in my future. This makes me happy.

Andm_shell and I are going to NYC this weekend, too. She's never been to NY, really. We're staying overnight, and then she's flying out to CA Sunday. We are Total Geeks, for our choices of places to go are the Cloisters, the Met, and the Midtown Branch of the library.
