Bright and sunny here in Providence. Why is it we find it necessary to say a day is both "bright" and "sunny," given that sunny days will be, by default, bright? We've already reached the forecast high of 53˚F. I suppose I ought open the curtain in my office and let in some light.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,575 words on Chapter Six of Fay Grimmer. And ( Read more... )

I don't know how the hell I've never managed to see an episode! It sounds like I've missed a treat. I only found out it was a Holmes re-working lately; I imagine it beats the shit out of Elementary. That sounds too sucky for words.

The Holmes/Watson-House/Wilson thing is woven through the entire series, both in broad strokes and in marvelous little details. And yeah, Elementary sound completely wretched.

If it weren't for the expectations of family, Thanksgiving would be another typical day for us.

As I have no family in Providence, I dodge that bullet.

it was the plants & animals that were sacrificed for food. I'll thank them instead.

"God" hates turkeys.

And my family has never been huge on the "Holiday as Obligation" thing, so it works out nicely.

I think today I will thank the fact that I really don't have much idea of who the Kardashians are. I have seen snippets here and there referencing them, but they don't sound like something I would seek out.

Did I mention to you that Doris Egan was the show runner for House? Her LJ nom de plume is Tightropegirl. Every so often she would talk about the show. House Vs God was one of hers.

Oh, you lucky lady.

I didn't know. But I also don't know who Doris Egan is, so....

Well, but you get more moose than we do, so it balances out.

just as comics are better as collected graphic novels

Interesting. I actually prefer to read them as separate comics. I think I just like the idea of reading a comic, the feel, the smell. Personal nostalgia probably plays a large part also.

Either way DHP #18 is ordered. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah, but then you have this pile of comics. When I left Athens, I gave away about two thousand of the things.
