Tuesday

Sunny, clear, and still a bit chilly out (59 degrees, 15 degrees Celsius). Have been reading The Keats Brothers: The Life of John and George, and enjoying it greatly. Taking it slow so that I actually remember what happens from one chapter to the next. There was a glowing review of this book in the NY Times, and I'm glad I picked it up.



... was interesting. I'm just hoping the writers aren't thinking of Chekhov's Law:

A gun introduced in the first act must be fired by the third.



Also, I have been in a good mood since Friday. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME OMG. :-D

INORITE???

Also, that icon is perfect. Heh.

[perspi]

*G* I believe it's from ICONOMICON, so it's fully gankable. IT COULD BE YOURS, BB...

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME OMG.

:D

Hopefully the good mood will become nothing remarkable through sheer persistence.

A girl can hope.

I thought the same thing about Chekhov's Law! I would be surprised if it's brought up again, though :)
I had to run out to pick up a parcel. FedEx thinks that the best way to ship a package from Oregon to Alberta is through Memphis. I was in a hurry because a winter storm is on its way. Everything is calm right now, but we're supposed to have 10 cm snow by morning.
I'm glad you're in a good mood! I'm in a rush to get my book club books read so I can get them back to the library before I leave for Christmas vacation.

I would be surprised if it's brought up again, though.

Heh, me too. I'm actually surprised sometimes when the writers DO remember a callback to a previous episode.

Also, SNOW! :-D

Now they're calling for 5 cm. It hasn't started yet.
Hey, Google says it's Mark Twain's birthday!

Perhaps the good mood comes from knowing no one will be poisoning you this week? *hugs*

The book about the Keats brothers looks fascinating. I had no idea John Keats had relatives in America.

There are such great small details in the book! Like the merchant who was sent to St. Petersburg and bought boar-bristle brushes, but bankrupted the company because a competitor had JUST invented a less expensive whale-baleen brush. He fell in his fortunes, and had to dine at cheap taverns where the knives and forks were chained to the tables. :-D

I think the Lack of Poisoning does play a large part in my mood. ♥

I'm currently reading "The Tiger's Wife," which is ending up on a lot of "best fiction" lists for the year. Only about 50 pages into it, but it's really good so far.

[nightdog_barks]

I've heard of that! I think it was shortlisted for the Man Booker Prize.

*puts The Tiger's Wife on list*
