i will resist the temptation to be maudlin (my last friday night in copenhagen! over!). it will not require tremendous effort because i'm riding high for no too-apparent reason. it's gorgeous out, once again. so innocently, purely gorgeous that all those warnings your skeptical brain zaps you with (you're being gullible -- when you let your guard down, when you least expect it, BAM! tornado!) melt away. today is a goofy-smile day.
appropriately, i'm dashing out the door for an impromptu picnic/goofy-smile day celebration w/ tinka in the park where andrea and i enjoyed an impromptu picnic celebration of last day of classes yesterday. possibly other CBCBCs will be joining. i have magnetic field's washington dc in my head from the superb side A of the mix ben made me. last nite at alburtsland we prepared a birthday party for a friend of andrea's who played a Godot on us, much to andrea's dismay. we ended up watching flashdance, a ridiculous 80s male-fantasy flick i'd never seen before. much fun. and i've been so ecstatic for ilana -- and so glad i don't have to spend the summer weakly intoning "poor thing" "there there" etc. -- that i've been nearly dancing since she told me she's 3 for 3. down with sympathy! up with success! it's about damn time.
