Happy New Years day, in the last two hours or so of it :D
Everyone out there--if you're reading this, I love you. And if you're not reading this, I probably love you, too.
I am at least as bad at being outgoing and communicative online as in RL, but I really do keep up with things going on on LJ and DW (I'm not planning to ditch either journal in favor of the other any time soon) more than my apparent participation in either place might sometimes suggest. I do want to try to post more from now on. I'd like to keep up more with Tumblr, too; lots of people I'm very fond of are there exclusively, and lots of interesting stuff happens over there...it's just kinda hard to spend only a short time there and not get drawn into backreading forever.
Anyhow, I cooked all day yesterday (Glazed Ham, Green Beans, Pumpkin Soup, Warm cherries -- all these recipes turned out good, if you want to try 'em).
Then I bicycled nearly all day today. I finally have new thermal pants, which is very liberating in this weather. I saw one possibly wild turkey (he was running across the road, but he could also have been someone's wandering pet or escaped dinner), two roadrunners, discovered that there exists a place called Climax, Texas, and nearly got run over by some guy on a clear stretch of farm road (it's not a good sign when you're going along the right shoulder of a road and a car passes you on the right.).
Now I'm reading. Light reading/fiction, even, because this is a holiday.
Jason looked at the brochures on the coffee table. The title said GOLD: Invest for Eternity. "Um, you sell gold?"
"No, no," the king said. "I make it. In uncertain times like these, gold is the wisest investment, don't you think? Governments fall. The dead rise. Giants attack Olympus. But gold retains its value!"
Leo frowned. "I've seen that commercial."
Yeah, it's the first book of the new sequel series to the Percy Jackson books. Sue me, they're fun. And yes, in the contemporary world, King Midas has turned into one of those guys who sells gold in the ad space between right wing talk radio programs.
