Sunday Evening and Sherman Alexie

[nightdog_barks]

Used the leftover roast beef to make enchiladas. Quiet day -- laundry and fic posting. Not much else.

I know some folks out there are fans of the writer Sherman Alexie -- here's a link to a short story that appeared in the August 10th & 17th issue of The New Yorker. It's about a man who thinks he's going deaf, cockroaches, healing blankets, and his dying father. It's an excellent, excellent read.

Oh dood, so I put The Tick at the top of my Netflix queue. I'm guessing it'll get here by Tuesday. Squee.

If you have Skype we can synchronize our watches DVD players and squee in long-distance stereo.

Perspi and I used to do that with SGA until those bastards cancelled it.

I don't have Skype, but I've been meaning to get it. Is it particularly hard to set up?

[blackmare-9.livejournal.com]

I don't think it's difficult at all. I've had it for years.

And now I'm getting nervous, because Nightdog was talking about guns and now she has become vewwy, vewwy qwiet.

Um, has anyone seen Wilson?

I was playing with him earlier, but I can put him back if you need him right away.

[blackmare-9.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's all right now.

I was just afraid Nightdog one of Nightdog's characters might have shot him. Apparently that has not happened (yet).

"In the leg!"

Sorry. Had to be done, knowing your fandom history.

I'm here. I've just been enjoying the conversation. Thinking about tinkering with a WIP from a few months ago.

:-D

"enjoying the conversation" = discovering that it is impossible to tell, based upon their exchanges, which of your friends is 37 years old and which is 17.
