- My long black wool coat, which I wore literally until it fell apart, fell apart this morning. Sigh. At least it is finally warming up? A little? The blue wool coat is too heavy for 40-50 degree days, which is where we are now, so my blue jacket will have to suffice. But I loved that coat. It fit well and was roomy enough to wear a fleecy and a ( Read more... )

I forgot to switch to The Flash because I was half-asleep watching the Rangers, and they won! Though Tanner Glass was credited with a goal which means we'll never be rid of him now. Sigh. That Holden goal with him in front of the net was nice though. (Why didn't the goalie see through Glass? Because of the screen! ba-dum-tish. Sorry.) Anyway. ( Read more... )

My eternal refrain: why is the Rangers' power play so terrible? WHY?

Reading Wednesday:

What I've just finished
Technically, I didn't finish Bellevue: Three Centuries of Medicine and Mayhem at America's Most Storied Hospital by David M. Oshinsky, I only got about halfway through, but it was due back at the library and you can't just renew ebooks for some reason (I don't blame the library; I'm sure the publisher is ( Read more... )

Last night, I tried the Q going home, well, the 1 to the Q, and I got on the 1 at 5:30 pm and I walked in my door at 6:06 pm, so that is a lot faster than any other route home (even the dreaded 4,5,6) because it includes a lot less walking to and from the station on both ends. I will definitely be adding it to my repertoire of routes. Though the ( Read more... )

Have you all see Sebastian Stan in the I'm Dying Up Here trailer? I know most people went to the "Winter Soldier in the 70s place," but me, after a moment of "I AM THE LIZARD KING," I went right to the "Sirius Black in the 70s place," even though SebStan is now too old to play young Sirius (though just the right age to play PoA era Sirius*) even if ( Read more... )

As usual in a week where we have Monday off, I get confused as to which day it is, so here's reading Wednesday on a Thursday:

What I've recently finished reading:
Spin by Robert Charles Wilson, which I liked a lot. I never got emotionally attached to the characters, but I really wanted to know what was going on.

Any Duchess Will Do by Tessa Dare ( Read more... )
