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.
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.
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.
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.)
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.
YAY book! I have this urge to keep shouting that from the rooftops.
He may have one, but he hasn't told me. And he's the doctor my neuro was recommending I ditch. I can't fault her for meaning well, but organisation isn't their middle name.
ita, is there one doctor who is in charge of your care? I know you are seeing a neuro and a migraine specialist but is there anyone else? And who is coordinating the care between all of these specialists?
Okay, since my copy of Vampire People is en route from B&N.com, and I therefore can't read Random Acts of PayPal right now, I just went and found it in the first Minearverse thread, and re-read it.
(1) I cried.
(2) I can't wait to read Allyson's prose wrapped around that event.
(3) Y'all? We rock.
(4) Damn, Tim really gets the shaft on his shows, doesn't he?
