Speaking of Smith....
Ah, Convocation. Local school must have started today as well, as there were crossing guards on my way to work.
Busy day today -- until about 2pm. I would like my brain back, as there were lots of LJ entries I wanted to leave comments on (for example) and instead I spent the afternoon basically refreshing LJ. Tomorrow I'm bringing Astonishing to work so if nothing else I can reread and decide which panels to scan for iconning. (Feel free to make requests, if you desire. Though I think the three of you who read both it and this have scanner access.)
Other notes from today:
FormerUnitHead is a sweetheart. This is not news, but is still pleasing.
Oh lovely British man who made rescheduling so easy and was such a pleasure to talk to... thank you.

I've been planning an apartment-warming probably since before I even had an apartment, to some degree, so I tend to think of it as "mine" and unconnected to the other people I live with. OriginalRoomie, however, suggested inviting the gals who live downstairs from us. When I came back from the grocert tonight, I got to the porch just as one of them was leaving us a reply not. She said that they were so excited to be invited (which made me feel like even more of a schmuck for not having thought to invite them myself; I should tell NewRoomie she should feel free to invite any of her friends -- though I never see her anymore). They're gonna bring brownies :)
I did laundry tonight and had forgotten to bring a book, so I plunked down with a table copy of InStyle. I was on like the second page when a guy came in with a black terrier, who came over to say hello to me. Said terrier was soon in my lap, which I hadn't expected but didn't mind. Apparently her name is Sweetie. I did not snark to the guy about his original naming. I still say I'm not a pet person, but I actually really enjoyed just having her on my lap for a while, petting her.

Also: September Frankenmix is up. Will take me some time to come up with songs for all those prompts.
