Nora, I sent you a gmail just nowish.
ETA: My enjoyment of the movie and realization that I could get it for free from ManyBooks means I'm finally reading Pride and Prejudice. I know it's a Bitches fave (I think?) so I figured I should announce that.
I still find Austen's writing style annoyingly stiff much of the time, with irritatingly common journeys into over-descriptiveness. The character development, on the other hand, is too
subtle
- I can see that it's there, but it's not always easy for me to get, entirely. I think I prefer her stuff in the cinematic medium. Still, I'm overall enjoying it.
What non-copyrighted book should I download for free and read on my PDA next?
Woohoo for new iPod!
So, I took a muscle relaxer for my back. My muscles don't feel relaxed yet, but I AM suddenly sleepy. Poppies...poooopppiies...
This may be favoritist typo evah! Or at least today.
*snerk* It really was a typo, too.
My son Ben has a classmate named Josh. I never quite managed to stop calling him
Joss.
Fortunately, they were never particularly close, so it wasn't much of an issue. Now Christopher is calling the Josh he knows
Joss.
I don't think it's my fault, but it cracks me up, just the same.
Hi, Lilty!!!
I just balanced my checkbook, which I haven't done since the end of August (bad, bad me!). That was not fun.
Now I get to figure out how much money I've put on Emily's credit card and how much I owe her. I'm just full of fun tasks today.
MG and JZ, watching my S1 DVDS of Veronica Mars is next on my list. Once I have, I would be happy to lend them out.
Sweet!

My friend Suz went to a wedding ceremony in Mexico and part of the ceremony involved releasing baby Tortuga turtles into the surf. Baby Turtles in the wading pool, Suz and Turtle, Turtles Away!

Awww! So cute! (I hope she washed her hands after holding them, though, because turtles can carry salmonella.

Oh, I hope I'm in town by then. I hope I can find someone to go with me....
Wanna know the best thing about my home nebulizer? I can chat on the Internet at the same time as taking a treatment.
