Nope, still don't have it in me to put together a proper entry. So rather than post nothing for days on end, why not bullet points?

• The likelihood that I will sing along out loud to songs on my iPod in public is directly proportional to the obscurity of the language of the lyrics.
• I've reached the tail of Evaluation Hell! Four face-to-face meetings and we'll be all finished--and ready to begin work on next year's forms!
• Yay spring! Crabapples, hawthorns, "mountain lilacs", and even true lilacs coming into bloom with snowballs and viburnums not far behind!
• Does anyone know what the Japanese name is for those aburaage pouches you use to make inari-zushi?
• I'm several stories into the Mistry and I'm enjoying it, his liberal use of Indic words in English being more of a feature to me rather than the bug it is to monshu. The Hobson-Jobson's not much use, probably because he seems to be using as much Gujarati as Hindi in spots.
• Met Nuphy for gin-flavoured hydration at Sidetrack last Sunday, followed by dinner at Yoshi's. A really nice way to spend the day until the inexplicable gas pains started kicking in.
• I love the fact that I can tell my boyfriend, "I spent the day cleaning up the Bucolic Poets" and be met not only with comprehension but unfeigned sympathy.

Incidentally, I'm now two posts away from my 2,000th entry. Any ideas for a suitably self-indulgent way to mark the occasion? I've thought about a quiz on past entries, but it seems like too much work just to annoy the few friends loyal enough to read this crap for this long.

Well, nothing says "special" like gratuitous pornography . . .

I'm just sayin'.
