'Serenity'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, nail polish, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Totally! Everybody to my place for a star party!
Oh, no prob, Kat, and no, she was only going to the Flagstaff airport. It was tiny. I drove her around in circles first. Hee. And it worked out fine; it was the same day as our kiddoes' Christmas party in Winslow, so I had an excuse to come out and hang with them. I gave her two of the spice cookies to eat on the plane!

It was tiny.
Truer words. I haven't been there in years but it is hysterically small. Still have fond memories of it.
I am so very very tired. Like unbelievably. And stupidly. I think I'm carrying worry about the impending surgery and I've been stressing about insurance and meds and supplies and and and....
In other news, though, I've been reading the Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. Holy moley I LOVE it.
Any recs for post-apocalyptic/dystopian novels?

The Forest of Hands and Teeth
Do not read Jupiter's Hammer or World Made By Hand if women who suddenly turn into idiots who must be protected by a man make you throw things.
Oooh, also, Earth Abides, by George Stewart. And A Canticle for Leibowitz.
The Parable series by Octavia Butler. Xenogenesis might slide in there too.
I wanted to see if I was going to be able to shoot during the lunar eclipse. I am all worked up about the eclipse. What time does it start?
When I saw the cameraphone picure (which, I cannot believe that's from a cameraphone through a telescope!), I was going to make sure you knew about the eclipse, but of course you do. So -- there is no way I'm getting up at 2:30 a.m. (Eastern time) to see it, so please take lots of pictures!
The Forest of Hands and Teeth
This one is really good, but creepy. It has a sequel(ish), called The Dead-Tossed Waves, which I didn't think was quite as good, but I'm still glad I read.
Yeah, I`m going to wiped because I`ll be up late both that night and the next. But what`s winter break for if not for staying up late?
And thanks for that link, -t, that`s great info.
MY apartment manager just have me back my December rent and told me I had to bring it in myself ASAP. I think I'm working from home tomorrow. Plus I have to pick my sister's stuff up from the post office.
