I Am Assured That Peace Will Come to Me
I am happily ensconced in beautiful Sebastopol, CA for the next 10 days, where I hope to run into Tom Waits at the Gravenstein Apple Fair this weekend.
I am housesitting/cat sitting at a lovely house with a bananas garden/deck/fountain/lounging area, halfway between Bodega Bay and The Bohemian Grove (of Tales of the City fame), and couldn't ask for a nicer getaway.
The only sad thing is that miss_begonia is back in the city because she has to work, despite having just returned from Paris.
That's okay, though, because she is bonding with our new kitty! His name is still a work in progress, and he's been too skittish to sit for his portrait yet, so you'll have to make do with his school picture instead. He was a whirring bundle of energy when I left this morning, though.
I am hoping to use my time up here as a writing retreat of sorts (I got tons done last time I was here), especially since my car is acting a little wonky, and thus I will not be traveling too terribly far in it (although, unless it is completely balky, I will be hitting up the Bay for sure), and as a part of it, I'm going to try to post to LJ every day.
You know, for the few people who are still vainly checking in here from time to time. :)
Anyway, I thought I'd start with the meme that's floating around:
Ask me my Top Five Whatevers. Fannish or literary or otherwise. Any top fives. Doesn't matter what, really! And I will answer them all in a new post (or in comments). Possibly with pictures.
