I survived my first choir practice in 10 years, so that's good. But if I can't get my voice out of my throat, I will never hit those damn notes. I guess I need to practice...
Wash: Little River just gets more colorful by the moment. What'll she do next? Zoe: Either blow us all up or rub soup in our hair. It's a toss-up. Wash: I hope she does the soup thing. It's always a hoot, and we don't all die from it.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I keep thinking it was a TAL piece, but I think that may just be because it is suited to that show.

I could swear I heard that story a year or two ago.

Oh, and I remembered to buy flour, even though my mother said not to bother to make the cookies -- unless I really want to make them. Seriously, mom? I have never had this part of the mother/daughter relationship.

Heh. I have to say, I'm loving see you dive into life in Boston with your parents nearby.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
I've read a few books, mostly vintage pulp SF novellas and a bunch of Theodore Sturgeon short stories, and lots of kids' novels and YA, but probably not more than twenty, if that. I've spent most of this year slowly working my way through Bellefleur, which Hec picked up for me ages ago at Half Price Books. Something like ten months later I'm just about halfway through. Which sounds like a dreadful diss, but in fact it's just an incredibly dense, language-drunk novel. It takes me several minutes to read a single page, and if I miss a few days I have to go back a chapter to get caught back up again. Slow, slow going, but rich and dark and brutal and lovely. I don't feel any need to hurry through it.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It's mentioned in the letters. I think it was in Japan.

I am reading a biography on Antonin Scalia. I can't figure out why I am reading (NPR rec) and I am not sure I'll read the whole thing.

Yeah, thanks. I can see the beginning of a whole new round of negotations....
I'm trying to decide if I should return or renew a library book. The ones I have out are due tomorrow, I'm in the middle of the last one, but it's not good! I still hate to leave a book half-read.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Carnivorous plants on SyFy? They should remake Little Shop of Horrors.
