A Further Observation

You can buy wine at the CVS. On a Sunday.

I feel oddly provincial. Or possibly just more easily entertained than usual.

Scott pulled out Cannery Row and said I must read it, so I am. No, I've not read it, the only Steinbeck I've read is East of Eden and though I quite liked it I never went back for more.

We also bought two copies of The

Mm, that fireplace sounds lovely.

[caitri]

It was. *stretches and purrs*

oh I love the aquarium so much fun. It's odd thinking hey your only a few hrs away when it's normally a state or two.

Also so happy your having fun in Nor-Cal. Did you take Hwy 1 to Monterey? Cuse that's a lovely drive and I live right off of it lol so I might be biased.

[caitri]

Yeah, we did. Stopped several times to take pictures and walk on the beaches. :D

Okay it has rained again. Does it rain every night and then turn sunny during the day? Because if it does there's a crap load of Camelot jokes on the way to happen.

cool if you stopped in Pacifica, that's where I live, some really nice photo spots down there, and oddly a tacobell on the beach that is on travel channels top 10 views. Also home to http://www.gorillabbq.com/ which has been on food network. Their BBQ Is awesome and so is their mac-n-cheese.

Heee well it rains a lot in November, so it's really common for it to rain all night and clear up in the day, or rain all day and clear up at night. So make your Camelot jokes. lol.

Oh, East of Eden. *reminiscent sigh* I read it through about 12 times by force strong armed because I had a deluded Sophmore Honors English teacher who liked finding deep hidden meanings even when there weren't any.

I mean, Steinbeck, totally hidden meanings, but this lady just kept going. Oh, and there were only ONE SET of hidden meanings. Your hidden meanings? Don't count. Just hers, because hers are the right ones.

Course, she's also the lady who went to a book signing, told the author how much she appreciated the DEEP SIGNIFICANCE etc etc and how his championing the rights of forgotten man through the symbolism of an abandoned butter knife changed her life.

He told her 'Uh, thanks. But I have no idea what you're talking about.'

She pat him on the head and told him 'It's ok, if you look at it closer, you'll see what you meant
