Sorry; I've been under the radar. Lots going on. Well, I say "lots" - more like, "I have important shows to watch and books to read". ::shrug:: I've also done some writing on "Gnaw Bones", which is good. I've discovered some new music, too, but that's a whole different post.
WorkRight now, we're looking at a December start for our library's ( Read more... ) -
I really need to update my icon.
Oh, 12. I do believe that you and I are going to get on famously. -

We're buying a car today. Manly's car died the true death last month, so we've been scrabbling around for a replacement - finally found a halfway decent used car - a 2011 Honda Fit with about 40,000 miles on it. It's a good price - just under $12,000. It gets about 28 mpg, so the gas savings should pay for about 1/4 of the monthly payment. Not too ( Read more... ) -

It thundered all night long like Thor was having a pissing match with Zeus. Good grief. -
Better Living Through Chemistry
So a couple of weeks ago, my doctor upped my antidepressant dosage, and suddenly - I feel normal. Catching a glimpse of the news is no longer like tossing a weighted shadow on my heart. I actually want to do things. I'm making what I call 'daisy-chains' in my head (little scraps of stories that I weave together as mental occupation. They don't ( Read more... ) -
Adventures in other languages
Because of my Korean-television obsession, I've kind of gotten interested in learning Korean - mostly, I admit, so I don't have to wait for subtitles. (And by the way, Korean is super-hard for English speakers, because it's a whole 'nuther alphabet and weird grammatical rules.) I've been sloooowly but surely learning a bit at a time (will have to ( Read more... ) -

This weekend, I've read "Steelheart"by Brandon Sanderson and "Ysabel"by Guy Gavriel Kay. I also got a "Learn Korean" book which seems fairly well-organized (and which reportedly comes with an audio pronunciation guide) - interestingly enough, you can't directly translate my real first name to Korean, because it doesn't have a way to pronounce two ( Read more... ) -

I'm up at Mom's retrieving the youngest girlchild - so far, I've installed Mom's new modem, and hooked up her printer. Tomorrow I get to troubleshoot her problems with Netflix. I did not realize that I was coming up here for computer support ( Read more... ) -

Tonight, I'm headed up to Mom's to pick up Peri from her long summer visit. This year, she was the only child of the three who visited (since grownup Little Tree works for a living, and Monkeyboy decided he'd rather hang out at home unsupervised like a proper teenager). I talked to Peri last week, and said, "So, you finally got to see what it's ( Read more... ) -

So last weekend, we emptied out our storage unit - the rent for which had slowly crept up until it was untenable - and now our house is full of boxes. I suppose it's a good thing that our son had moved his room - since Little Tree moved out, she told her brother that he could move into her old room (which is the largest bedroom), and I was all ( Read more... )
