Tonight is TV night. (New Lost, new 2-hour Alias after a 9-month hiatus.) Anyone who calls my house after 7 pm should be prepared to get yelled at and/or hung up on. Just so ya know. … [Read more...] about Otherwise occupied

So fabulous
Just stayed up way too late to finish So Yesterday. It's brilliant and you should read it immediately. Oh, and happy new year. One of my resolutions was going to be reading the books I own or have borrowed instead of buying new ones. THAT's off to a great start. But I forgot to … [Read more...] about So fabulous
Something fun for Monday
Glass House is a story in progress that I'm really liking. It's blog fic, so you have to start at the beginning and read up. Friends of mine may be startled to see another House of J, but I swear I had nothing to do with it. … [Read more...] about Something fun for Monday
The freaky people come out on Sundays
A gray-haired woman in a red minivan just pulled up in front of our house, stopped there for ten minutes or so, then did a complete circle in our corner (which requires a pretty tight turn; we're not in a cul-de-sac here), stopped again, then did it ten more times. Bizarre. If I … [Read more...] about The freaky people come out on Sundays

Nearing completion
I put the finishing coats on the bookshelves today and we moved them into the study. There's one endcap I forgot to paint—just as well; I reconfigured the whole setup so I'd have room for the papasan in there—and somehow one of the shelves didn't get its topcoat of … [Read more...] about Nearing completion
midweek flyby
I've been feeling pretty icky, mostly because I was unexpectedly in the presence of cats all weekend. I really need to learn to ask about that before I visit new places, as sad as that is. So the writing weekend wasn't so productive, but I did get one good idea that's been … [Read more...] about midweek flyby
Frost
So the local weathermen suck. Not that this is news or anything, but they totally blew it last night with the whole "it's not gonna freeze" thing. I spent ten minutes this morning chipping ice off my car and taking pictures of the frost-rimmed grass in our yard and let me tell … [Read more...] about Frost
