I had not seen it before yesterday. And it’s quite well done.
Besides, after Sunday I just have Game of Thrones on the brain. SO excited that Season 4 has finally started.

Mark your calendars! Cambridge Open Studios is coming!
Cambridge Open Studios is back, and this year it is all of Cambridge in only one weekend. Just like last year there will be a shuttle bus that will take you, for free, all over town. And, lucky for us all, the primary departure point will be at Cambridge College, 1000 Mass Ave, every hour on the hour. That also happens to be where I’ll be showing my work this year. I love it when a plan comes together.

Happy Dance
Sometimes we find things on the Intertubes that we just have to share with everyone. And these three are related. They are all different versions of people dancing to the song “Happy” by Pharrel Williams. The first is set in Tunisia, where the old Star Wars sets have become a tourist attraction. The second is set in Poland. The third is a school choir from Detroit, Michigan.
Enjoy!

Rerun is home, safe and sound
Rerun is home from Angell Animal Medical Center and we are glad to have him back. You should have seen Thumbelina react when Rerun came home. She danced a little circle around him and “kissed” him a lot. She’s so happy he is home. As are we all. I missed my furry little buddy. He has not fully recovered, and he has several medications that he has to take for a little while. But he is not vomiting anymore, and he has his appetite back.

Today in Equality
With the opening of the Sochi Olympic games on Friday there are all sorts of things going on right now to remind us that the world is full of both hateful bigots (I’m looking at you, Putin) and wonderful people (Canada, Scotland, that would be you.)
This is what has popped up in the latter category in my various news feeds today. Enjoy.
Major kitchen reorganization and cleaning, supervised by Scratch
My big project this week has been the kitchen. I have wanted to do a major cleaning for a while now, and it’s as good a time as any. This also gives me a chance to do some reorganizing since I have a good idea now of what new kitchen items (I mean post-wedding) get used more often than others. So my electric griddle gets put somewhere that makes it easier to use, for example. The clam boil pot, as much as I love it, might get used once or twice a year and so it can go somewhere out of the way.
Anyway, as I was cleaning yesterday Scratch decided he was going to “help” by heading up to his new cat bed, up on the freezer. Now, before I get into this too deeply, some background is required.

Because Indian food is always associated with the birth of Jesus
For the last 5 or so years a group of us has managed to fit in a feast of Indian food between singing services on Christmas Eve. For the first few years, however many those were, we went to Bukhara. The food there is reliably good and the service is always excellent. It’s a short drive to the place where we sing midnight mass, and they have a parking lot. Restaurants with parking lots are key in Boston.
Then things changed in 2013.

VICTORY!
There’s been a lot of victory going around in the last few days, not the least of which was a few minutes ago when Geoff and I finally conquered the Massachusetts version of the ACA website. In the spirit of the season, it’s time to share some good news.
What we’re reading now- holiday edition
We’re back from our hiatus. We’ve had our battle with Mass Health and we came out victorious. So, it’s time to catch all of you up on what we’ve been reading and doing other than preparing to fight for our right to health care.
The Joy of Medieval Cooking
Thanksgiving is next week, and for those of us who love to cook, this is one of the absolute best times of year. And ever since I decided to explore medieval cuisine, I have been wanting to try new dishes, and so I have been collecting books on the subject (and not just Chelsea and Sariann’s awesome Game of Thrones cookbook). Thank goodness for ABE Books, or else I would never have been able to find many of these, or afford them once I did find them.
The Books are Taking Over...
