 Stumbling upon a meme that seemed apt for summer and for a weekend post.  Books, books, books!

 I've a massive toothache in a tooth I had filled two weeks ago.

Said toothache  is consuming most of my attention--though I've been distracted by watching the last four episodes of this season's Project Runway  (however can people work so fast and come up with such brilliant designs!).  Yes, my time is being well-spent.

Yay, my kid is coming home for Spring break today-and we are going to have a mighty fine week of evening walks and talks to coffee shops and hours of watching her downloads of The Mighty Boosh, Never Mind the Buzzcocks, Project Runway and Dr. Who.

The girl is heavily into British television (no, not Project Runway--but the others are British).  ( Read more... )
