Oof, Post #22

Where have I been? Nowhere? What have I been doing? Spinning my wheels in mud.

Otherwise, 22 points:

1)I am passionate about my new car. As a person who has hitherto not liked driving, I thoroughly enjoy zipping it around.
2)I do not understand all the connectivity bits, however. It will take a day of sustenance and poss. prayer to be able to make it through the manual.
3) Master Danger has not yet been in the car, but I have a new fleece backseat protector so that he, King o' Shedding, won't leave an ineradicable presence.
4) My baby brother was here this past weekend, and he spoke warmly about the car, which is nice since I drove him around for two days.
5) Saturday was a perfect morning for our beach walk. I am reminded that I like beach-walking, and I like the sound of the ocean.
6) It's odd what one forgets, eh?
7) I did NOT forget to book a ticket for a November night of Betrayal on Broadway. Hooray! Orchestra seating (I still think of it as the stalls), albeit a goodly number of rows back.
8) Look, I just love Hiddleston and Ashton and this production, I don't know what else I can say.
9) It'll be the only show I see, because DEAR GOD Broadway tickets are expensive. (Like, double the price of West End seats.)
10) I'll take the train up to the Bronx to see a dear friend of mine and his family instead.
11) I also need to book for this exhibition at the FIT museum. It is my kind of thing.
12) Weather permitting, I'll also check out the High Line.
13) That's about it. Am not an NYC person.
14) What else... I de-accessioned a few pieces from my closet yesterday.
15) And, er, I purchased YET ANOTHER shirt-dress, no I am not going to link, I am too embarrassed.
16) But it is my style, after all.
17) Have also been revisiting the Tenth Doctor era of Doctor Who. Lord, DT was young back then. I was struck by the star power of "The Lazarus Experiment," too -- Mark Gatiss as Main Baddie, Bertie Carvel casually walking through as sinister person from Harold Saxon (sadly never to return), Gugu Mbatha-Raw as Martha's sister and Adjua Andoh as Martha's mom. Wow.
18) Also rewatched "School Reunion" (evil Tony Head, BLESS) and "The Girl in the Fireplace" (which is my favorite of Tennant-era Who). Love love love.
19) Off to work now, but I am glad to have checked in.
20) Master Danger will go out into the steam-heat and then head for his bed, where I have a fan just for him.
21) And I will be driving to a Nearby Town, poss. in the rain, for a TSA Pre-check appointment. I am so very spoiled.
22) Hugs to all, and joy for you!
