The plus side to this election is that conversation just got WAY better

I went to a rockin' party last night with lotsa dancing, conversation and BRIE because it was (you guessed it!) a LIBERAL POST-ELECTION PARTY! The nice thing is that here in Somerville Massachusetts, we have enough to feel good about that we can still have a party. The intergenerationalness of the party made me very happy, like maybe we can avoid some pitfalls of the 60s. I got to talk to all these people that I don't know well and have maybe just seen around. I wanted to tell them all "I demand that you become my best friend because I want friends as cool as you!" Somehow I restrained myself because I've never found that technique as effective as it is compelling.
Today I spent doing nothing in particular, letting time pass reeeeeeeally slowly which feels really good. Spent the afternoon out on the back porch rereading Little Altars Everywhere and drinking juice mixed with seltzer, whiling away my hangover.
