Things are looking up!

Even though it is raining awfully outside, I'm feeling very happy. Here's why.

Last night I went to a "Sick of J-Date" singles party hosted by a Philadelphia Jewish social group. Now, it was kind of cheating because I have not actually used J-date yet. But anyway, I met a Penn grad student and, at the end of the evening, exchanged e-mails with him. We'll see what comes of that. I may have just met a nice Jewish boy.1

Today I have been given an interesting assignment at work. After the better part of two weeks spent converting a work originally written by John Edwards - a Protestant minister, Calvinist, and absolutely mind-numbingly boring in the manner of all Early Modern philosophers - I get to verify some Poul Anderson books for Baen, which is not hugely exciting, but pleases the geek in me very much.

Also, later today I am going to help [livejournal.com profile] r_grayjoy dye her hair bright and unnatural colors. Although I have to figure out where she lives first so I can go there.

1Meeting a nice Jewish boy is not like meeting someone in the usual sense, because there are certain connotations. This is because it's used by parents to describe a relationship of which they approve, so the "meeting" has to involve dating and possibly marriage.
