Pull Me Down Hard, Drown Me in Love

"Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes--characters even--caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you." - from The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield (page 289-90).

We'll Run Away Together

I had a really excellent weekend. JH and Wifers came to visit, and we had a marvelous time. Here are some things we did:

-Watched many movies
-Ate at places like Eat N Park, D's, and Gullifty's
-Went shopping, found some deals
-Visited the zoo
-Bought cheap books

It's nice to be able to see some of your closest friends after extended periods of time and it doesn't feel like you've lost time at all, you know?

Here's To You

"A library is a never failing spring in the desert." -Andrew Carnegie

Are You Okay, Annie?

Today, I went to the wine & spirits store to get some wine for our Valentine's Day dinner. The first thing the cashier man said to me when I came up to the register was, "Do you know who Mary Pickford is?" I was surprised, given that I just finished reading a biography of Olive Thomas, who was Mary's sister-in-law. I said yes, and told him about that. He then told me that he thinks I look like her. I was surprised, and pleased. I have never been told I look like anyone famous. It was pretty excellent. I am also glad that he said it, because it kind of validates the feeling I've had that my hair looks like it belongs in the early 20th century. Woo! Win! Haha.

Come On, Leave Me Breathless

Hellowwwwww...

Today, I bought a bonnet that I intend for the cats. Yes, I know how that makes me sound. Think about it, though. Cats. In. Bonnets. HILARIOUS. Right? You agree. I may have to cut holes for ears, but whatever. I can do it. I also bought a satin jacket. For me, not the cats. A and I shall wear them together on a satin jacket outing. It will be GLORIOUS.

I want to go on a trip. The Wedding Date is on TV right now. It makes me want to fly somewhere. Someday, someday.

I need to go shopping for work clothes soon. I'm excited.

What happened to Debra Messing? Where's she been?

When it's Cold Outside, I've Got the Month of May

Things about which I am obsessing today:

-messenger bags
-ancestry.com
-crossing things off my to-do list

Soooooo exciting.

By the by, I got a new job! I'll be starting on the 22nd and I am excited for it. Though it isn't necessarily what I would like to be doing with my degree(s), it is working for a great organization and it is full time and I will have benefits and a higher wage than I get presently. Woo!
