library-ific

Jut noticed the other day that my library purchased the complete Sandman collection (Neil Gaiman.) Yoicks! Even though I've cut myself off from buying books... I'm still not exactly ripping through my collection of unreads, since I've been back to the library. I'm reading the entire Georgia series, and this time took out 2 graphic novels too! Woe is moi.

Good news is, once the winter weather sets in I abandon the library. Just never feel like leaving the house in cold weather.

Love Song of the Day: How can I edit my story when I need to tell you how much I LUB this song??

Haley catches a moth on the window screen. Then it's "nom nom nom" like a lolcat.

(I've taken to sitting here at the kitchen table, editing my book. ...Though tonight I've just been reading Georgia. Time to stop.)

Me and Midge

OK I was wrong about the spiders--they're definitely still hanging out, and are fatter than ever. Though none so fat as the ones who used to live outside my parents' home by the water, in Ile Perrot. One was so fat, I got paint on his body when painting the house; and next summer I was strolling past the house, and stopped... because there was my spotty-painted spider. That's the equivalent to me getting a glob of paint over one fifth of my body, and having to live that way. You'd think it would do something to a little spider dude... make him too heavy or something.

And those aren't male mosquitos--they don't have little furry noses. And they are definitely green. What is they?? ... ... I am back from Google Land. They are green midges! So cute and non-annoying, the little midgee-poos.

Georgia hears a ring at the door

It might be kitty trouble, because I don't know where the furry psychopath twins are (Angus and Gordy.) ...Oh God, if it is the cat vigilante group bringing the lads home on an assault charge, I'll go ballisticimus, if I have the energy.

Reading more Georgia Nicolson

When I went into the kitchen... Libby was styling Gordy's fur into a sort of Elvis quaff with hair gel. Mutti was making her costume for the Lord of the Rings party. I wasn't aware that there was a prostitute in Lord of the Rings, but as I have never got beyond the first mention of hobbits, I will never know.

["Mutti" is what she calls her mother. Gordy is one of the Angus' kittens.]

"Let's go down to the disco!"

Whenever one of Georgia or her friends say this, they all have to start disco dancing. I think I need to teach this to the other managers I work with.
