Holy mother of pearl
It's been three freaking years since I posted in this blog. Even though no one reads it, that's pathetic. Frankly, I'd forgotten all about it until I saw a car in the grocery store parking lot with the license plate "RD2HANA ( Read more... ) -
Hello again

I don't know why I have so many dystopian dreams, but I do. For NaNoWriMo last year I was talked into trying to turn one into a novel, with horrifying results (and not in a good way). Basing literature on a dream might have (almost) worked for Coleridge, but not so much for me.
Last night's dream was a real winner. It began after something bad ( Read more... ) -
Why I can't live in Cheyenne, Wyoming
The weather forecast for Cheyenne (a beautiful little city that I fell in love with at first sight):

The Zombie Bug
I had a truly disturbing dream last night and I can't get it out of my mind. It was one of my patented "long and detailed enough to be a feature film" dreams. I even woke up once, fell back to sleep, and continued the dream, which almost never happens and surely wouldn't have happened if I'd been dreaming about being in Hawaii with Johnny Depp. ( Read more... ) -
My year so far
It has been expensive.
On New Year's Eve, my Mini Cooper started overheating when my husband was gassing it up before our drive down to Ocean City, MD to spend New Year's weekend with friends. Because his car is in even worse shape, we rented a car. $
When we returned on Sunday, we discovered that our deerhound wasn't well, and so we kept the car ( Read more... ) -
Upcoming book orgy
I am a happy woman. Beside my bed are all four volumes of the Shadowmarch series by the wonderful Tad Williams. I read the first book and loved it, but when I realized it was a series, vowed not to read any more until it was finished, and now it is. And it is mine.
I have to finish two books before I can dive into Shadowmarch, but soon I will be ( Read more... ) -
My Holiday To-Do List
Things I have to do before leaving for New Jersey on Saturday morning to visit the family :
1. Thoroughly clean the bedroom and master bathroom to make them presentable for the dog-sitter.
2. Buy gifts for six people and wrap them.
3. Buy and trim Christmas tree.
4. Clean up family room before delivery of new loveseat.
5. Nag Michael to disassemble ( Read more... ) -

Because today's Studio 360 is all about Gatsby, I thought about this little poem from the beginning, that I have always loved:
Then wear the gold hat, if that will move her;
If you can bounce high, bounce for her too,
Till she cry “Lover, gold-hatted, high-bouncing lover,
I must have you!”
