Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Stopped by krav, realised I was having difficulty keeping my eyes open, picked up some paperwork, came home.
The Post Office isn't really delivering my mail. I had it put on hold from the 9th to the 17th, and I've gotten mail only one day this week. Which means a visit to their lovely offices tomorrow.
Sadly, no, Perkins. They were going to get it, in between the movie and the party, but then we all got herded and there was no chance. They said they would mail it to me today on their way out of town so I'll probably get it tomorrow.
My Welsh friend laughed like a drain whenever I tried to say Llanelli--which is where he is from. It apparently has a "th" sound in there somewhere but I'm damned if I can find it.
I think that with Welsh, you make the double-L sound by sort of putting the tip of your tongue against the roof of your mouth and blowing as you make the L sound. Which would sound kind of like a "th".
But this is a dim memory from The Dark is Rising, and my memory sometimes lies to me.
Oh well. I'm sure you will have it soon.
It was probably all for the best. Trying to keep track of my drink, my smoke and my food all at once was bad enough. I think had I added a prezzie into the mix, something would have been lost. Or possibly set on fire.
And I completely forgot to set my DVR last night. I need to hunt down season premieres now.
Aw... The Dark is Rising! I should reread that.
In my copious spare time, of course.
ARGH. I couldn't nap though I'm falling down tired. And before I pick up The Culture of Fear or Constructing Crime, or my light reading on Serial Killers (you'd love this class, Kristen! I just read an article called "Cultural Development of Monsters, Demons and Evil"), I should put my car in the garage.
You're taking a class on serial killers?
Where do I sign up?
Not really. But I am reading lots about them. I'm reading about Crime Fear and Violence in America. Which for damn sure is easier and more interesting than the Divine Comedy has turned out to be.
The idea of article I mentioned above was that there have always been serial killers, but we used the guise of monsters and demons to explain their existance. There was the cite of a 16th century duchess who killed women and children and then bathed in their blood after particpating in necrophilia. They thought she was a vampire, naturally.
That sounds like a really cool class. And I'm very interested in that article.
That does sound cool, Kat
It was probably all for the best
Yep.
