What I just finished reading:
wendy, darling, which i gotta say, i really liked. there's an off-and-on subtle undercurrent of men not listening to women, or listening to them and not believing them, and definitely not respecting them. but mostly it's about growing up and facing your past. never did figure out how old wendy's daughter is, tho ( Read more... )

i may or may not have done something ill-advised but necessary during my lunch break today, by which i mean we got a lot of snow yesterday and this morning, and i had to brush it off my windshield so the parking police could see my resident parking sticker, so i de-booted and put on actual shoes omg (hiking boots, because my ankle is too swollen ( Read more... )

i have a weather headache and i just want to go to bed. >.< but also there's a bsg marathon on and i can't stop watching. this really was a grimdark show, wasn't it.

last night i got to see the fireworks! with azewewish and her friend steph, and tamalinn even managed to find us. we could barely hear the concert, but while i can't speak for anyone else, i was there for the fireworks. i do wish we could've heard the 1812 overture, tho. they fire cannons. :D

( it's such a pretty little city. )
