Um, actually, I took it from book_memes

Choose ten random books from your shelves and tell us in a post what they say about you.

I took 2 books each from my 4 larger shelves and 1 each from my 2 smaller shelves.  I did it *mostly* at random...I did ( Read more... )

*snort*  of ALL the days to forget my trusty sidekick camera, I would have to leave it hooked into my computer on HALLOWEEN!  Ah well, there were lots of incriminating pictures taken by friends who promise me access to their photobucket accounts.  So there will be a later (mis)adventures of Halloween post to compliment today's summary.

In accordance ( Read more... )

WoooooHoooo!
Late posting because I didn't get back until rather late yesterday and just tumbled into bed (I'm such an old lady-ha!).

Yesterday I drove up to Indy for the day.  I went to my friend L's house so we could carve pumpkins.  I love that part of Halloween!  We put on my Halloween playlist, covered the table in tarps and got to work.  I ( Read more... )

28 October's "celebration" was one that most people would consider a punishment, I think.  When we do "Spring Cleaning" we clean the external areas of our houses and welcome in the fresh air.  So, for an "Autumn Cleaning", I worked through all the bits that can't really be seen.  I've started re-processing all the image and media files on my ( Read more... )

Today was a lovely gloomy day with cold drizzly rain--am I the only person who finds those days lovely?  I'd find them even better if I could stay in bed or on the couch and read trashy fiction all day.  Instead, I headed to lecture, then came home and made lunch with my housemate (yummy chicken in Indiana garlic/yogurt sauce over rice and steamed ( Read more... )

First off:  Update time.  Housemate did not end up going to Milwaukee (yet).  Her father is doing MUCH MUCH better.  Apparently, it was a very small stroke that somehow or other had its origin in his irregular heartbeat.  He's now in a different ward of the hospital and they are trying him on various heart meds.  She will be headed up later in the ( Read more... )

So, today was supposed to include pumpkin carving and Sunday dinner with my housemate, her boyfriend, and her boyfriend's two boys.  Unfortunately, my housemate got a call at about 4.30 with the horrible news that her father has had a stroke and they airlifted him to a hospital in Milwaukee.  Needless to say, we scuttled the pumpkin carving ( Read more... )

Earlier in the month I posted the Autumn music mix I made to enjoy throughout the season.  Now that Hallowe'en is nearer, I give you the mix that will be taking over my iPod this week.  It will probably also find its way onto my stereo system with other creepy noises and tunes all weekend next weekend (if my housemate doesn't scream like a banshee ( Read more... )

Ok, so I'm a day behind in posting this.  My excuse is pitiful as well--a sudden long nap interrupted my evening and, um, well, I woke up groggy and stayed awake just long enough to go find some dinner and head back to bed.  Clearly my body needed that rest.  Ah well.

I guess it's completely appropriate, then, that my bow toward autumn yesterday was ( Read more... )
