Oh - another thing on the horizon is taking both kids to see Iron Maiden. Still a surprise for them - CJ has only been to one live concert, so this is going to be FUN!!!

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Burning up a star, just to say goodbye.
GAH.
I am trying not to buy new books since my TBR pile is great, but there's a book of Zadie Smith's essays that is weakening my resolve.
Pssst, Jesse, the library gets new books.
Jesse, the new Jack Reacher is out and S. read it in two days. Loved it.
I should really start calling him Garv. It's his nickname, and a much better moniker than S.

Sure, but if I was all worked up to read a new book NOW I'd still end up on some waiting list and blah blah blah.

Hilariously, the one that is still new to me is the one before the new-new one! So that's good -- now I'm 3rd in line at the library.
Where's Scola today? Did he go out looking for a stoop? Did the Mets' loss break him?
Oooh! One of my co-workers bought herself a glitter eyeliner set from Too Faced, and gave me the pink/fuchsia one. She said she never wears pink, but knew that I would love it.
Did he go out looking for a stoop?
Ha! That's the first thing that he said when he saw my building "you have a stoop!"
I just reserved The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest at the SFPL. I'm number 276 of 276 holds.
Relatedly, I was sad to learn that the French title of The Girl Who Played with Fire is basically "the girl who dreamed of gasoline and a match." Which makes me wonder what the Swedish actually is, because I think the English titles of the final two are so great at conveying multiple meanings.
