This morning, I went to brunch with some of my favorite people, where we talked about how much I love big dogs and how happy they make me. After brunch, I went to go buy flowers (that always makes me so happy!) with Blake and Will. While we were walking back, I thought aloud that I really wanted an ice cream sandwich. A couple of minutes later, we came across an ice cream truck on Mass Ave that was giving out FREE ICE CREAM.
So I got my ice cream sandwich, and as we were walking, came across the cutest big fluffy dog that ran to me to play.
It’s no Cinderella story, but I’m so happy right now.
Just sitting here doing work in a bit of a secluded corner in building 7, and so many people passing by have tried to get me to get up, pause working, and go have pizza for pi day.
First of all, department-wide pi day celebrations would only happen at MIT…
But mostly, it makes me really happy that people are reaching out to other people that look really busy/tired to go destress and have a study break.
So thank you, MIT. As much as I Hate This Fucking Place, I love the people here.
I feel like I’m at a refugee camp here in Tokyo’s Narita Airport… Why?
- Armed guards won’t let us leave
- We’re sleeping on floors and chairs, hugging our luggage
- It’s 30 degrees fahrenheit, and they turned the heat off from 11pm to 5:30am, so we’re all literally freezing cold. I don’t even have a jacket.
- They’re doing passport checks every other hour
- We have to stay here in misery for 13 hrs
On the plus side, now that it’s 6:30am, the wifi just got turned back on. And y’know, not at a real refugee camp.

Parenting, you’re doing it right.
Words cannot describe how much I love this.
Squee!
Sleeping Beauty was lying in bed checking Facebook from her phone, just feeling so completely alone in her depression. Then she came across a post from an acquaintance about how sad he was, it was a darkness that made him feel like nobody could ever understand how he felt. “Is there anyone else who feels this way?” he asked.
She felt a sense of relief wash over her, a little bit of joy, and thought, At least I’m not so sad I wrote about it on Facebook.

I think I need to be reminded of this.
My brother is adorable.
I sent him a link to the website of the hackathon that I was speaking at a couple of weeks ago. He signed up for the event, even though it was in Cambridge, and he’s in Texas. I don’t know why that made me feel so happy, but it made me smile to see his name on the guest list.

I used to have something like this at my house, and you know what’s really depressing? I never reached the top of that damn giraffe!
