l laid out my quilt for the first time today - it's not all pieced
together yet, but I think this is basically what it's going to look
like. I'm excited!

I'm at my grandparents house and I just read an article about how
Tetris is "so demanding of the brain that it blocks thoughts of all
else...scientists at Oxford University believe that Tetris so
dominates the brain's resources that it can act as a "cognitive
vaccine" that could prevent soldiers or crime victims from developing
post-traumatic stress disorder." Deirdre: can you believe this???

also, apparently in a year there is going to be a major "solar storm"
of heightened sunspot activity that is going to, like, end the world
basically. has ne1 else heard about this?? it's time to go off the
grid!
