Things flitting through my brain of a Verses Thursday:

* I have become reacquainted with my iron and ironing board. They make my clothes look all fresh and clean, and aid greatly in my looking like a grown-up person.
* My new Firefly/Serenity fandom pants are SO VERY SHINY! Or, at least, the first three and a half letters are. Beading takes forever.
* Rufus breaks my heart:

Ooh, good ones...

Top 5 places I've visited:
This is very Francocentric, as it's really the only place outside of the U.S. where I've spent any time.
5. The round-rock beach at the lighthouse just north of Newport, Oregon. Best. Sounding. Beach. Ever.
4. Lake Tahoe area
3. Couchey, France (where my hidden happy place is)
2. Muir Woods/Muir Beach area
1. Normandy, France

Top 5 places I want to visit:

5. The rest of continental Europe
4. Various remote and sunny islands
3. England
2. New Zealand

Muir woods! One of the few Bay area places I've been! *loves on trees*

good icons all around :)

Hmm, top five... nonfiction books?

[hiyacynth]

Grr. LJ just randomly ate my reply!!

Anyway. I was saying: Most of my non-fiction reading recenly has been Easycentric, and I can't visualize my bookshelf well enough now to venture too far.

5. Biggest Brother. Winters is love. On a writing scale, I put this above BoB, but Bob touches more of our boys, and it brought all of us whores together, so it gets a "higher" rating.

4. Band of Brothers. Easy is love.

3. Shout! Excellent biography of the Beatles.

2. The Romanovs: The Final Chapter. Robert K. Massie's follow up to his biography Nicholas and Alexandra. It's a really well written, fascinating recounting of the scientific detective work that went into positively identifying the remains of the Tsar and his family, found in Siberia ten or so years ago. Covers all the forensics and DNA testing involved, as well as looking into the genetics of the various people pretending to be surviving members (and debunking them). A really good read.

1. Parachute Infantry. Webster is love.
