Oh, yeah. There was this time I was pinned down by this guy that played left tackle for varsity... Well, at least he used to before he was a vampire... Anyway, he had this really, really thick neck, and all I had was a little, little Exact-O knife ... You're not loving this story.

We went to the Toyota dealership this morning. 2009 Priuses do not have adjustable (up/down) seats, but 2010 ones do. But the only 2010 they had has a moon roof, which loses you a couple of inches of head room. (Remember, mr. flea is 6'6" - head room is almost the most important thing we consider when buying a car.) The Camry hybrid is also lacking in the headroom. The Matrix (not available in hybrid) has a ton of headroom.

So, when they get a 2010 in without a moon roof, we'll go check it out. But probably not buy one for a year or two. The Matrix was nice, and we could get a used one very reasonably, but we really want a hybrid.

The dealer guy's daughter just graduated and is going to UGA in the fall and he was so proud. I was very happy for him (& her).

Because books.

Rainy Saturdays make for much family togetherness. A little too much, honestly.

This is brilliant, and will be my last post about the weather until it is nice again: [link]

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I just watched the final ep of Pushing Daisies. Love! That was a hell of a supporting cast. The flyover shot of all the various featured locations was beautiful and the ending narration brought a little tear to my eye. I'm really going to miss that show. I hope the comics get into the story of Ned's dad . That story seemed to be building and then disappeared with the cancellation news.

It's gray and raining and only about 60 here

Ditto, except 65.

My sistah.

Hey, Kat, did you ever read The Thirteenth Tale ? I'm halfway through, and it's delicious.

Nope. But I've heard about it? The author and the bookseller, right? Is it in paper or hardback?

I just bought The Strain, which I'm taking with me on our trip to Ohio.

I read it! Good times. Kat, I think I have a paperback ARC if you want me to send it to you.

Jesse, of the Thirteenth Tale (in which case YES!)? Or of The Strain? (in which no thanks because I have the book already).

Nap time!

Because books.

It's an author and the young woman she chooses as her biographer. Wasn't it fun, Jesse? So gothy and spooky and twisted.

It's out in paperback -- that's what I have.
