My subject line makes this sound so much cooler than it is. Sorry, such is the world ( Read more... )

So I have errandofmercy's "To the Sea" stuck in my head. It's been there a lot lately - I think it might be planning to move it. Luckily, I'm a step ahead - I already bought it a toothbrush. <3

q-sama and I are very close to finishing The Fic that Ate Our Lives. It's a very exciting time to be Angela. An exciting time to be Lisa, too, I imagine. Right now, I need ( Read more... )

I spent most of the day outside. It was hot, but wonderful. First I mowed the lawn, which isn't so interesting, except that it definitely has fewer dandelions than it did last month. Other weeds, like clover, seem to be taking over. And I don't mind clover. I actually quite like it. If I could have all clover instead of grass, I'd do it ( Read more... )

But first, I have October's book list:

Books:
The Walrus Was Paul - R. Gary Patterson
Lost in Austen - Emma Campbell Webster
Good Wives - Laurel Thatcher ( Read more... )

I'm in the mood for Lord of the Rings, but I don't want to read the book right now (I have three books going and about a dozen more on the waiting list). So the movies are the obvious answer, right? I don't have them!! ::bangs head on wall:: Last night I was all set to come home and watch Return of the King because I had (still have, in fact) " ( Read more... )
