Monday

Cool and very windy, with the barest possibility of snow flurries tonight. Thank goodness all our seedlings are still inside. :D

Finished Joshua Ferris' Then We Came to the End last night, and I will totally admit I skimmed the last quarter of the book because I cared absolutely nothing about any of the characters. Okay, I take that back -- I cared enough about Lynn, the boss, to see what happened to her, so I skimmed just enough to find out how she turned out. What can I say? This one is going into the "donate" box right now. Started reading Arthur C. Clarke's Childhood's End, which I think I must have read about a million years few decades ago, but if I did, I don't remember it at all. So far it is awesome.

So much love seeing Dame Shirley Bassey at the Academy Awards last night -- I hope she and Barbra Streisand got to hang out backstage, being regal as shit and all, because damn. Shirley Bassey.

Hi hi from lovely I-75 by moonlight. About an hour from the old homestead, where I will doubtless snuggle into the welcoming grasp of the Sofa of Joy. I am not being sarcastic, here. It is a wonderful sofa.

I can't get my main email account on this, my brother's ipad, so I'm just dropping by here to read the fun book discussion and wave at you. So: *waves*
