kyburgIf you haven't caught this week's Doonesbury and Get Fuzzy's linkup - please do. You'd be watching history. At first, I thought more than one cartoonist had decided to address the war in Iraq - then I find out they're sharing the same storyline from two different points of view.
Bravo, say I. Your mileage may vary.
(And both of those strips are available by syndicated feed from LJ - have at.)
If I want to go to Switzerland in the first two weeks of December, I might have timeshare housing. If I want to use my timeshare for Hawaii in November, there might be something in Kauai -
Grr. Not in the plans.
Today was almost unbelievable in that everything I did worked - and in some cases, made me look damn good. I'm in one of those "pigeon" modes - instead of being the statue. Don't worry, I'll get my turn - that's how life goes.
My friend Dianne is coming through tomorrow for a weekend visit - she's one of those friends I'm thankful for - we met while we were both commuting on Metrolink, and even though we've not taken the train for almost four years together (she's moved to Auburn, I changed jobs and moved close enough not to need the train anymore), we still talk plenty by email at our respective desks during the day. She's my infamous redhead, non-stop talker and general firebrand. She also married a first-generation Chinese lawyer who works as a deputy DA in Nevada County - and has a house full of cats. We've given her a journal, but I can't get her to use it - pity. And it will be all hands on deck tomorrow when she gets here. We love having her around!
Tired and worn - but all in all, a good day. The weather has been postcard grade - wish I could spare more time during the day to get out and walk. Did a quick stroll down the street to get lunch, and rewarded myself for not getting the burger and fries by stopping in at the used book store on the way back.
Folks, can you suggest some older titles/authors for me to read? Keep in mind, I don't want the following any of the following (I've read them already) - oppressed pagans, dragons, whiz-bang spaceships (including those that think for themselves), mind-control specialists, dragons, thinly-disguised bodice-rippers, vampires, dragons...okay, got it? I read a lot. I've read a lot of those. I'd like something new, kthankx. And please...pretty please with sugar on it...can it be something unrelated to Celtic mythology? I'm such a snob.
Mysteries depress me; you always have to have someone die fer crissakes before the story can begin.
I can always buy another cookbook, I guess. Right.
Actually, recommend a good poet or two - this is a very comprehensive book store.
And now, I go crack open the GameBoy and try to make some progress before falling asleep.

Date: 2004-04-22 01:08 am (UTC)Zenna Henderson's "People" books. "Holding Wonder" "The Anything Box" "The Book of the People"
Spider Robinson's "Callahan's Crosstime Saloon" and "Time Travelers Strictly Cash" are the first two books (and the best, really) in this long running series.
David Brin's Uplift series is interesting - "Sundiver" and "The Uplift War" are two. He has a stand alone called "The Practice Effect" that's fun.
