Wah!

My copy of On Writing is inexplicably missing. It is not impossible that I let someone borrow it, but I have zero memory of doing so. I’d say “it has to be here somewhere,” but I’m fairly certain that all the books have been unpacked.

Do you have my book? :-/

Duma Key

I finally finished Duma Key this morning. Short review? I loved this book. Love.

I want to hold it and squeeze it and call it George.

Yeah, some of Stephen King’s latest work has been less than stellar…I haven’t even read Cell…but this was King at his best. Creepy and weird and sad, and ultimately completely satisfying.

Yay for good books!

It sure is Monday…

Forgive me for quoting a 15-year-old country song as my subject line. 🙂

I have to say, the weather sure didn’t help in making me want to crawl out from under the covers this morning. I’m not going to complain about the rain, because I know we need it, but ugh. Can’t we have some nice, moderate temperatures for a little while? Is that too much to ask?

The Friday night show at Nietzche’s was fun. I did take some photos, but they’re still on my camera. I’ll get around to posting them eventually. The rest of the weekend? Not much to speak about. Mostly trying to clean up/organize/pack…meanwhile, we wait for an official closing date. Apparently the seller got her lawyer out of a Cracker Jack box. (I can’t take credit for that; it was all Rand.)

Did a bit of shopping yesterday, but it was mostly a bust. Rand bought a pair of pants and a couple of t-shirts. I didn’t buy anything. I did come home and order a few things from Chadwick’s, though, for a very reasonable price. I got $25 off my order and $5 shipping. I hope it all fits! I love shopping online, but I hate having to send things back.

I’m a little more than halfway through Duma Key. I’m enjoying it quite a bit, and regret that I don’t have larger chunks of time to devote to reading. I should be *done* by now!

I’ve got some chicken marinading for dinner, and I should probably figure out what else we’re going to have with it. Hope you’re all having a happy Monday. Later!

This-n-that

  • Jessica (aka Miss Shortskirt) has introduced herself over at Required Reading.
  • I put up a 100 days progress post at the wedding blog.
  • The “Doogie Howser ending” on HIMYM this week cracked me up.
  • Rand and I watched The Mist. The ending made me angry. Not as angry as it made Seanan, I don’t think, but angry. I don’t want to give anything away, so that’s all I’m going to say. Grab me if you’ve seen it and want to talk about it.

Ummm…I felt like there was more, but I just can’t remember what right now. Enjoy!
