I'll do one more quick one before I grab a shower and head off to more apartment-hunting :-P

Comment to this post and I will give you 5 subjects/things I associate you with. Then post this in your LJ and elaborate on the subjects given.

Five from eriksangel15:

4.48 psychosis: This is completely the fault of bethofalltrades...well...after my Theatre History II teacher, ( Read more... )

Like all lovers, they had soon assembled (as on a revolving stage) the places where the scenes of their drama alternately took place: a little Ukrainian diner whose windows were always occluded with steam, where the tea was black and so was the bread; the Folding Bedroom of course; a vast gloomy theater encrusted with Egyptian decoration, where ( Read more... )

I wanted to jot it down before I forgot...I just came across somebody in a community mentioning doing literary readings rather than bible readings at their ceremony. Since neither of us are of the Bible-reading type, and our ceremony is going to be non-religious, I suddenly had this flash of an idea...

I want to do my vows from Only Revolutions, ( Read more... )

I got Granny into His Dark Materials! We were just talking about it on AIM :-D I knew she'd love it, though, that's why I gave it to her for Christmas. I got her the Lantern Slides edition with all three books in one. Oh! That reminds me! I took photos of the Lantern Slides before I wrapped the book. I'll type them out at some point ( Read more... )

I just started Italo Calvino's If on a winter's night a traveler and was hooked by the first lines. This really has to be the most brilliant first chapter ever written, and one perfect for any true lover of books...

In the shop window you have promptly identified the cover with the title you were looking for. Following this visual trail, you have ( Read more... )

In the coffeeshop at the moment, and about to finish up that meme I posted earlier this week. This is my first time in this particular incarnation. When I started college it used to be Boogie's and I came here once with clearmind, and paxtonblue, and probably jolove...or maybe ksakowsky. Later, Boogie's closed down and it became Ali Baba's Hookah Lounge and I spent a fair amount ( Read more... )

New icon! I <3 Hendricks. Obviously. And now there's somewhere in Kalamazoo that serves it...for only $5! And it's the sushi restaurant! I can't even express my delight right now ( Read more... )

I finally finished the last His Dark Materials book and was a complete wreck. I think I finally found my answer to the "question" Dan and I were discussing last time I was town, though..."Why do people read ( Read more... )

The final form of my daemon from the Golden Compass site...not surprising, actually, though I have a serious phobia of spiders when they are real and in front of me and all over my apartment in Sterling Heights, and especially after a girl at work in Cincy was bitten by one and had a reaction that heavily implies a brown recluse bite ( Read more... )

I'm not one for really commemorating much of anything, but somebody posted this quote in literaryquotes for today, and it's one of my favorite books, so I couldn't help but pass it on--because it was obviously a beautiful passage for decades before 9/11, even, and I would have re-posted it even if it had been posted in the middle of June. So, much love to those ( Read more... )
