such the best day

Grad friend M's birthday was a cavalcade of wonders. Bizarre ice-cream taiyaki thing and other mystery snacks, bossing people around, finding someone with a Nintendo-controller messenger bag that matches my Nintendo-controller wallet, floating M. Bison-like above the bodies of my victims, making and distributing ume-shiso rolls, telling someone who really needed to know about the Studio Ghibli museum (and JR Pass, and Kyoto Museum of Traditional Crafts).

Then I went to work! Okay, work on Sunday night is not usually so great, but this iteration of the experiment was the right way to do it, I documented it appropriately, and I got the other things done that I needed to do.

Then I got the email response I'd been waiting for! THINGS ARE OKAY.

Then there was chicken soup with saltines, and cat time, and music.

Now there is feeding of axolotls, and night chores, and shower, and soon there will be sleep.

Academics and email, pshaw! Nixie got a positive response to her inquiry about doing an internship this semester *last week*, i.e. just as this semester started, i.e. *weeks* after she inquired. And he was offering to find funding for her. And he's at SFU! British Columbia! But she had already agreed to the unpaid position at UIUC.

I am glad that things look promising at the Distinguished Institution Back East.

Ohmygosh, the Ghibli Museum. *_* So wonderful!

Hooray for all manner of good things!
