The Velveteen Rabbit is one of my favoritest saddest books ever. I'm tearing up now, thinking about it.
I skimmed past most of the kerfuffle. I think that's probably good.
How did I not know that Amber Tamblyn (Joan from Joan of Arcadia) is playing Sarah Michelle Gellar's little sister (and therefore the main character) in The Grudge II? I might have to see that now.

I thought she looked sorta familiar in the trailer!
We shopped. It was good.
Then I went to a book store, which was also good.
Now I am home, and I have a headache, which is not good, but it will lead to a nap, which is good.
The Tigers just bombed the Yankees. I'm totally surprised. A's play the Tigers Tuesday. Wow.
Nap, Lee, nap.
I'm about to Suzi. Sorry I didn't answer you this morning, by the way-- I had already left.
And the Cards-Padres series is going into Game 4.
Have to say that I'm glad to hear that the Yankees are out of contention for the Series this year.
Anne - I was cheering for the Cards today - yelling at my screen as they lost. They still have the advantage...
Awwww...baby. Great pics of Matilda.
Timelies, all. I just moved up from dial-up to wireless at home. At the moment it's a neighbor's wireless, but at least I can access that now (thanks to a whole lot of help from a friend of mine). It's lovely--I'm sitting here surfing, watching the tv, able to dash between b.org and my lj flist. Sweet.
Work's going well, so far, I think. I felt a bit like I wasn't doing enough last week. Today I remembered that my previous job was actually 2.5 people's jobs, all tossed on my plate, so I might need to recalibrate.
That is whack. Though I do know a family who named one child "Hudson" after Tim Hudson and another child "Maddux" after Roger Maddux.
I have two cats named after former NBA players but they fit the critters in question and they are CATS. Also the kitty rescue about six months ago was Espy, but I suspect that was short for something and not (like I pretended) being named after ESPN's Espy awards.
I have always wanted a house near a librul or performing arts college campus, have open door three or four evenings a week, with a pot of chili or soup on the stove, tea, coffee, cider, cocoa available, and lots of places to sit and move around. Maybe a fireplace or two.
That sounds wonderful, Bev. I would love to have a place like that to go to. Not in
my
house, you understand. Because I am snarly and not well-mannered.
Woke up without a headache today. It didn't last, but it was wonderful to see a break in the pain and remember what it felt like to Not Hurt.
It's my daddy's birthday. I called and chattered with him. It's also (hissssssss) sister-in-law's birthday. I know they are at dinner. Should I call and leave a message or just email? I think call. Because e can lead to a reply and we don't want that.
