There is too much public sex in the air, and I cannot stop sneezing.

But I spent the entire afternoon wandering from sunny park bench to shaded park bench and back again, watching squirrels and ravens and deer, finishing The Trouble with Physics and rereading my favorite bits of The Virtu and contemplating the fact that I have the next six days ( Read more... )

I'm just boring that way. Also I have fudge what hampden sent me, YAY!

This is how the meme goes:

The top 106 books marked as unread by LibraryThing users.

Bold = read it
Italics = started and didn't finish
Numbers after title = number of users who tagged the book "unread".

I'm rereading Robin Hobb's Farseer trilogy, which I read when it first came out and didn't take to, but this time around I'm sticking with it, heigh-ho, because reading makes our speaking English good.

Except I ( Read more... )

Over the past, hm, *checks timestamps* two weeks, I've been watching seasons one through three of CSI. As a procrastination tool, that so totally beats cleaning the bathroom.

You know how I said that I didn't think anyone would write my Yuletide requests and Adina's Green Ice was such a lovely, utterly wonderful surprise, and then I was surprised and delighted again when elspethdixon wrote January/Shaw?

Now quasar273 has written The Prince's Own, based on The Prince Commands by Andre Norton, which was my third request. Michael Karl, Urlich ( Read more... )

You know how I said that I didn't think anyone would write any of my yuletide requests and adina_atl's Green Ice was such a very cool surprise?

Well, now elspethdixon has written Benjamin January/Abishag Shaw for the NYRs. *happy sigh* My cup runneth over.

I've been really cranky for a few days now. Really cranky, wanting to bite random little old ladies in the street cranky.
