A Good Day

What a spectacularly unsexy cover for the audiotape performed by Jeremy Irons (!!!!). Sorry, Vlad. (Katherine, wanna go halfsies on this one?)

I don't know what was wrong with me when I started to read this the first time, years ago, and thought it was dry and boring. It was the annotated version, so now I must agree with Nicole; footnotes suck.

Why is it a good day, a good weekend? 

Today, I found a group for knitters who also love K-dramas. What genius thought of that?

Saturday, I got some new delicious yarn. Anybody need any mittens or slippers or hats? I'm taking orders, since I never finish projects unless I give them away.  

Tomorrow, a new president! 

 

Shameless Self-Promotion! :D

Bwah ha ha! You will regret the day you gave me the power to post! I'm just shamelessly promoting my reviews of "American Idol" for IGN.com which can be found easiest, I think, here: http://tv.ign.com/index/reviews.html I will be reviewing each and every episode from now until May.

P.S. I tried to make that address into a link and couldn't do it.

Go See "Slumdog Millionaire"!

Exhilarating! Clever! Moving! Funny! Go see it, you won't regret it!

Damon wins again.

I've just started listening to Christine's 2008 Mix and so far I'm loving it. Basically, she won me over just by including the Kings of Leon on it, but I'm really loving the Falling in Love in a Coffee Shop song. What a great one for snuggling under a pile of blankets on a chilly winter's day.  

Last night was one of my favorites (maybe it was the wine) but it was great to see everybody again and to have some newbies attend. Thanks Ellyn again for letting us use you lovely home!

For the next meeting, we'll be moving back downtown to Steve's apartment Feb 7th @ 4:00. The read is Damon's pick of Lolita. Enjoy and hope to see everyone there.
