So, I finished Guards! Guards! I think it might qualify as my first "mainstream" Discworld novel; I've previously read Pyramids, Mort, and Reaper Man, which I think (correct me if I'm wrong) focus more on secondary or tertiary characters than recurring primaries. I am tremendously fond of Death, I must say. Anyway, I liked Guards! Guards! a lot, ( Read more... )

Okay, I'm at Mandy's house today. She is sewing and I am knitting. While I knit, I am reading Jezebel, particularly today's Fine Lines segment, which is on Little Women. What has mostly been accomplished by this is that I have remembered anew how unimpressed I have always been with Little Women. I have read it at least six times in my life, ( Read more... )

Poll I could listen to whale song all day, especially those of the humpbacks. Aw, and now they're showing itsy bitsy seahorses only half an inch long settling territorial ( Read more... )

I had cold pizza for breakfast. It was delicious. However, I am told that I'm weird for thinking so. Also, I never make polls. So - a pizza poll!

Poll pizza!

Today at work, a visitor was carrying her things in a plastic bag. No big deal, right? Until you saw the store logo on the bag: "Fascinations - your romance superstore". Who goes to a store that specializes in adult videos and kama sutra oils and then carries the bag around as a tote? o.O ( Read more... )

Amazingly enough, my muse made an appearance recently, and I wrote a new vignette. It needs some tweaking before I post it, but overall, I'm happy with it. However, it's been ages and ages since my recalcitrant muse last spoke - in fact, I think it was before I even had a lj. That being the case, I'm wondering how and if my lj should figure in the ( Read more... )

Poll One of my co-workers was singing it yesterday, and it infected the entire department. Approximately six of us knew all of the lyrics without looking them up; of those six I was the youngest. Most of us are still singing it today, hence my curiosity about how many other people remember that song ( Read more... )
