In Maine. Want book. Book in New Hampshire. Family want beach. Family bad. Book pretty.
Don't I get a cookie?

What is even happening?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm going to Maine next weekend! Of course, I have no idea exactly where, and I'll apparently be sharing a bed with my grandmother, but I'm still looking forward to it.

I finished The Book last night!! And, ye, it was good. (Or is that "Yay, it was good!"?) Either way, way to go, paperdol! Loved the equal doses of snark (busting a 13-year-old boy--shame on you) and pathos (oh, did Random Acts of Paypal and the trip to Catalina get me sniffling!).
I'm definitely giving this to Mom to read when she comes out next month--she's never gone onto a discussion board and is completely confused over my long-term love of them (my first Web search in 1996 produced my first online home where I hung out until I discovered Table Talk back in 1999). Maybe she'll understand a little bit when she reads this book.
IWimbledonN, Bjorn Borg? Still hot.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Bah -- Amazon won't let me review The Book because it's not released yet. I gave it five stars anyway.
I wondered why there were no reviews, when (a) I knew there'd been ARCs in circulation for a couple weeks already, plus (b) street teaming and (c) made of awesome. How irksome.

I gots me a new bed!! I missed the end of the women's final, but that's okay, because--new mattress!! Now I just have to see if the old sheets will fit. I'm thinking it'll be a close thing, even though it isn't a pillowtop set.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Fuck! Tennis!
Man, sometimes the left coast sucks. And I know I've been too out of it to record. And I don't have anything as cool as a new bed to blame it on. But I am reminded that I need to work out why mine's suddenly noisy.
Meanwhile, I was doing more reading. She's just said some very nice things about b.org. We're a solution that works.

Oh, and here's what I decided about the potential for getting busted: enough sites are mentioned in various contexts that it's not like my boss (say) would come directly here. So that's fine, too.

Art Crawl!!!
Pretty tennis today too.
Nobody got the men's semis live. (They showed the women's final live everywhere I think. At least I could swear that the scheduling announcement said 9 Eastern/6 pacific.)

Never fall in love with somebody you actually love.
I'm in the park outside my apartment. Wireless internet rocks.

This is oddly like cooking a meal with a new recipe and watching people's expressions while they eat it. I sincerely hope no one gets the runs tomorrow
Does getting a migraine while reading the book count? But I loved the parts I read! And I admit, I kinda skimmed ahead to the ita and Nilly parts, when I looked at the page and went "gee, that's odd that the print is kinda fuzzy/doubled" and then realized it was just my brain being hateful.
