The ongoing saga of Things I stick in Books...I usually have a bookmark in every book, and it can be as varied as a tiny playing card, a Magic The Gathering card (Summon Elf, natch), various knights from a childrens' card game, old airline tickets (not mine) or -- an old Trivial Pursuit card. That's what is in my current read, and I looked at the ( Read more... )

Everything sucks today and worrying had me up half the night. If I could only figure out where to insert the Cosmic Prybar of Radical Change...I'd give my Universe a good wrench. >sigh< Won't bore you all with my moaning...

This weather is glorious...I hope it shortens the Winter, and that we don't have to pay for it in some evil way later. I keep wanting to go outside and plant something. There's a stray cat coming around; I think it is a boy. He's white with black patches, and fluffy. People often dump cats out where I am, thinking they will survive or find a ( Read more... )

Living where I do, one has to make one's own amusements, altho' life can be funny enuf on its own...for example, I write to a (romantic) friend in German, and use the computer's Sherlock program for translations. (Lazy, lazy...) Then I have to proofread and correct it, or I end up saying the most ABSURD things! Yesterday he tried to write to me ( Read more... )

It's an "open Winter" here...no snow! (Must have gone to Japan...) That is great, though I haven't been able to ski yet... Still sleeping off all the mincepies I ate over Yule...Somebody very sweet sent me the latest Harry Potter book, and I was kidnapped by it until midnight -- and I think the Half-blood Prince is still on the side of the angels ( Read more... )

Hey, the Elfrunes are not too bad...North; West/Fate; Starlight/Jaws. I can work with that! I am optimistic about the year; it feels better already. I've resolved to tell my notboyfriend that we are only friends, or nothing. It impinges on my integrity to do otherwise. And I need all the integrity I've got to get me through the challenges of ( Read more... )

It's been a strange holiday season...coincidences seem to keep cropping up. First it was a parcel I picked up at the PO, which as soon as I held, I said "It's a sword" Granted, it was from Rana still, it was heavy, flat, and two feet wide. On getting it home, I took off the cardboard and the parcel inside turned out to be long but only an inch ( Read more... )

The first snowfall of the year just had to be a foot deep...break out the snowshoes, gang! The cats are refusing to even entertain the idea of going outside...wish I was a cat! Now it is raining, just to make it heavier as I did not shovel the whole driveway. I was out when the storm started, and the car spun out badly halfway up the Mountain. ( Read more... )
