Ugh, I have been so sick these last couple of weeks. This week I'm mostly better but there's still a lot of sore throat nonsense and so forth.
I have, however, been getting some things done! I'm almost entirely done with my share of our Housely Chore List (a bunch of one-time things that needed to get done; I just need to do some weeding and I'm finished. Plus I get STICKERS). I have also got rid of a good chunk of my to be read online list, got rid of a bunch of tabs, and kept up almost entirely with RainbowFic. Turns out being on your back ill gives you a lot of time to screw around online.
Fortunately I recovered in time for the BOOK FESTIVALS. This week also began the intensely busy portion of my life right now, with my teenagers on Thursday and some other things going on at work. Then yesterday was the NATIONAL BOOK FESTIVAL which was deeply awesome. I met a lot of cool people in line, and got some awesome people's signatures, and KATE BEATON DREW ME A FAT PONY GUYS GUUUUUYS. I HAVE A FAT PONY DRAWN BY KATE BEATON. She's severely awesome, for the record. I want to hang out with her and trash-talk the Founding Fathers.
I have also been listening to Going Clear in the car and guys, L Ron Hubbard is the worst. I mean. He's just the WORST, guys. Every time Lawrence Wright talks about something he's done, I think it's just the worst and that he can't do anything worse AND THEN HE DOES SOMETHING WORSE JESUS CHRIST. I'm considering relaxing my rule that my nemeses must be named Thomas just for him.
Anyway. How've you been, internet?
