1. My parents arrived around 3:30pm Wednesday, bringing all manner of things to donate to my church's rummage sale. We went to the Finger Lakes Wine Center downtown (it is just past the library on S. Cayuga St., under the big parking garage), where we sampled some wine and picked up a number of tourism brochures. Then we went out to dinner at Crossroads Bar and Grille in Lansing, which has a good albeit limited menu. (I had calamari and a mushroom, bacon, and swiss cheese soup, thus combining an appetizer and a side in place of an entrée. They were both delicious.)

Following dinner we dropped off all the garage sale stuff at my church (including the boxes and luggage and computer stand and mini dorm-room refrigerator they'd left in my apartment for the past couple weeks), returned to my place for dessert, and called it a night. Thursday morning we went to Ithaca Bakery for breakfast, after which they drove me to Tops so I could buy groceries for the week. Then they headed back to NJ and I went to the library.

2. The trouble with libraries is that I go there to find a specific book, but while looking through the card catalogue (...do we still call them card catalogues now that they're entirely computerized? must remember to ask Mom) I see some other things that look potentially useful and also interesting, and then when I go to the shelf section in question, I see even more things that, while absolutely not useful to my particular needs of the moment, are definitely interesting and might be useful for other projects I have on hold or am vaguely thinking about, or are just nifty in general, and somehow I end up checking out three to five books when I went with the intention of finding one.

Which I should probably get back to reading.

3. I got my hair cut today. I ought to have done that two weeks ago at least, but I am lazy and disorganized and dislike getting up early to get things done before heading in to the smoke shop, so I left it until this afternoon when I got off work at 4pm. But my hair is now out of my eyes and off the back of my neck, so all is well. :-)
