Wow, got tangled up in tolkien there for a bit.
omnis: the idea of a shop cat terrifies me. I mean, i know how many times my cats tangle themselves up in my feet and i don't generally walk around my flat carrying power tools. I shudder to think of the havoc a cat could wreak upon a scene shop. I suspect she is biding her time, waiting for the best possible time to strike. I recommend you stay far, far away from that place.
Ooooh, i just signed up for a book club! Now all i have to do is re-read _The Name of the Rose_ in two weeks. meep! Got through one chapter (i've read the book twice before) and all i can think is: "have i EVER read this before? because this all seems totally new!" It's like randomly flipping through the AEA rulebook during a boring rehearsal. I keep stumbling upon things that i SHOULD know and OUGHT to remember...but...total blank! Maybe it's a different translation?
Oh, good book. It's got an awful lot in it, I'm not surprised you don't remember it all. Eco's dense.
Very dense! But I liked
The Name of the Rose,
for the most part.
Foucault's Pendulum,
on the other hand, could have stood to lose 200 pages or so.
I love that book. Not the least because I was reading it on the train as I backpacked through Europe.
That sounds so romantic and intellectual. I read it for a class.
Foucault's Pendulum, on the other hand, could have stood to lose 200 pages or so.
Nuh uh. Foucault's Pendulum is pretty much perfect. I am inordinately fond of Eco in general and Foucault is my favorite.
Longline strapless bra -- I've usually had the best luck for stuff like that at smaller local stores, rather than chains. They usually have a much better inventory and salespeople who really know what they're doing.
omg Trader Joe's Ginger Senbei Snacks are The DEVIL! I cannot stop eating them.
Erin, one of the cats names is flopsy. He finds a spot and tips over and sprawls out. When noise and power tools start going, he heads over to the corner of the shop. If ya show him some attention, he starts to purr, and demand more attention. And then at night, he becomes hunter!cat.
How charming and sweet. And Danielle wrote a nice article, good on her.
Her career prospects are slim though -- she asked interesting questions and refused to give any plot-points away. There is only so much room for that in the interview biz.
That whole exchange was charming. Its probably a lot like what would happen if Jilli ended talking with Gerard Way at Comicon.
I exercised. And now I'm tired. The exercising part is fun, but the want-to-collapse part, not so much. (My weight plateaued at the place where it always plateaus, and I am determined to lose four more pounds before going to the beach in two weeks. Determination isn't helping much with math right now, but I figure that exercising is different -- I'm burning calories whether I get the moves right or not.)
