( The Hobbit trailer )

1. I have some boyfriendless time this month, so decided I'd try and reread all the Vorkosigan books before starting on Cryoburn. Two hundred pages into Shards of Honor, and I would like it to be known that I love Lois McMaster Bujold and the way she uses words ( Read more... )

...although I am back on antibiotics to hopefully kick out the last of the infection that caused the pneumonia last month. Life is kind of frustrating at the moment - I'm trying to take it easy, but also need to earn money, so any energy I have is going on paid work, and if I overdo it, I end up in bed again. Feh.

But the news yesterday that George Bush has compared Bin Laden to Hitler and Lenin makes me even more worried than I was already about the current political situation. Especially when coupled with his comments on Iran (it was "time to make a choice" last week), it's all ( Read more... )

I really am an idiot sometimes. Evidence: over the past couple of days, I have noticed that my bread suddenly seems to be too big for the toaster. That's odd, I thought as I pressed it down for the nth time. I'm sure it's not as big as the bread we usually eat.

And it isn't, except that I had inexplicably developed a habit of putting the bread in ( Read more... )

I said a few days ago that I'd upload some songs from the mix I did, so here they are:
