Dear God, I'm tired. But I don't know if I'll be around much tomorrow--uh, today?--so I should go ahead and give y'all an update on The Shelf. The girls have all been getting along pretty well. Sister Girl bought a huge lot of reject/discount Pancake Meow stuff a while back, so I brought them some pie and they've all been bonding. ("I don't know ( Read more... )

Wow, I am tired. And I'm not even really sure why. Well, actually, I think I'm coming down with something (boo).

Meanwhile!

*** MOAR SHOPPING ***I think we're done now, though. I mean, we better be. Mom and I spent the afternoon wrapping the last few things--well, she wrapped and I bow-ed, because she wraps like a ninja and I... don't. I mean, I ( Read more... )

1) ¡¡MOAR SHOPPING!! And we are still desperately searching for things to give my stepfather.

2) I am still full from lunch at Cocina Superior, and I may never eat again. It's over at Brookwood--I believe it's From the People Who Brought You Superior Grill? So the margaritas there are also made with fresh lime juice and the salsa is excellent and ( Read more... )

So McRachel, one of my college friends, now lives in New York but she comes down to visit at Christmas on her way home to Mississippi, so we were all excited about her coming to the Lovely Emily's birthday party Friday night, except that... her flight got delayed. Or canceled. Or both. Cancelayed. Something. And then she couldn't get in on Saturday ( Read more... )

MOAR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. I know it sounds like we do nothing but shop these days, but the thing is, we're going out a lot and to a lot of different places, but we're really not returning with all that much. Also, it's really hard to find the right gift for some of the people on our list. So there's that ( Read more... )

So. I didn't get the quiet evening alone I wanted--I realized too late that the church music program my parents were going to (my stepfather plays drums) only lasted two hours; for some reason, I'd thought they'd be out a lot longer. And Lord knows you can't watch The Dark Knight in only two hours.* But the day itself went off quietly and without ( Read more... )

It's Official! Chris Weitz To Direct 'Twilight' Sequel: Helmer Reassures Fans. Includes a "signed" public letter to that effect. Godspeed you, brave soul. And ask your leads if you can share their stash.

Slow seduction of ‘Twilight’ fans has its roots on the Internet. *takes notes*

Rolling Stone pokes the crazy, pulls choicest bits for your ( Read more... )

Oh, wow--someone sent me a book, but I'm not sure who it's from? There wasn't any name or card or information with it. It's something I had really wanted to read for Black Ribbon research, though, so--thank you so much, whoever it's from ( Read more... )

Late again today, because there was MOAR CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. Which was fun, so I had that going for me.

Important: I got an email the other day from someone who said that reading The Gift of Fear hours before she attended a seminar helped her realize that the seminar was Bad News; she was able to run away, literally, out of the building, before ( Read more... )

... in which I am schooled by my mother:

She was home at lunch talking about how she'd seen something on the news that morning about Catherine Hardwicke being fired, and she was all proud that she knew what was going on because she'd already heard it from me, and the conversation drifted towards Twilight stuff in general and how Pattinson-as- ( Read more... )
