Nilly! Yes, I rarely have time to catch up in Natter, these days. But when I do catch up, I enjoy reading you! :)
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

Um, me too... I think I'm not even caught up in COMM these days. Do you even *find* posts by me?

Hee. OK, mostly you pop in and say "It's someone's birthday!". But feel free to make a substantive post right now and prove me wrong!!

Hmm. I've just re-read "Time Traveler's Wife", and I have lots and lots of thoughts about it all tangled in my head. I would love to sit and try to un-entangle them, as a matter of fact. Hmm.
Also, a different question, for the hivemind: could you please help me with names of recently published popular-science books that you've read and liked?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
food was such the right answer. I feel so much better. I still think the paint scraping is done for the day. My hand is already weak and kinda shakey. I think laundry and picture hanging will have to replace fixing the cabinets today.

Ooh, I would love to hear your thoughts on Time-Traveller's Wife, Nilly! Though perhaps white-fonted and/or in the Lit thread. I borrowed it from Kristin when I was out there last, and it was so interesting. I wished I could read it first as she wrote it, and then re-read it in "chronological" order of a different sort. I thought that would've been neat, but rather impossible on paper.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Tom, I love your apartment! You've done a great job with how you've put it together.

I made waffles for the visiting Emily. Emmett thinks we should have waffles again tomorrow. I have pointed out the labor intensive special event nature of waffles.
They were very tasty though.
We got no plan for the 4th, however. I wish Pirates were already open.

You can buy toaster waffles in any supermarket. If health is a concern you can buy organic whole wheat ones. At 11 years old or so the difference between these and home made may be of no great concern to Emmet.

Oh, really? Then maybe I would. I'm sooooo behind in the Lit thread (like, still in the old one), that it may feel a bit like invading a thread, in posting there, but there are just so many thoughts about this book running around in my head.
[Edit: And I loved how there was a chronology in the un-chronological order of things. Um, I'm not sure I'm saying this right. ]
Oh, and I was in fact just talking about you, the other day. I was whining about blind dates and dates in general, with a non-religious friend, and we were laughing about how similar our whinins were, despite the vast difference in our dating experiences. So I told her about you, and how once upon a time we discovered that our dating stories and group dynamics aren't all that different, despite the even larger difference in our dating experiences.
Yay waffles! Even though I don't think I've ever had any, they read like a "yay" food.
