Discworld rocks my sphereworld.
I just devoured Soul Music.
Any guy who makes a joke about "The Whom" is cool in my book (or his own books, for that matter). I wonder how many people have wondered about that name over the years? You know I have.
How could I have possibly lived
I expect to read moreTerry Prachett in future1.
Now reading Nabakov's Look at the Harlequins. Not right now. See previous footnote.

Saturday 10/20
Lunch with Eman (who had to work) at Ambition's Cafe (great place, remind me to take you there when you visit). Had the crabcake w/ horseradish sauce and balsamic vinagrette salad : ) MMMMMMMMMMMM.
Spent lots of moolah during my walk back down Jay Street2 to my car:
- Closeouts store-- never seen this shoppe before, so I just stopped in out of curiousity. Picked up a most loveable red nubby cardigan sweater with weird shell-like buttons (I adore it); a blue cardigan, also with neat buttons; two too-tight turtlenecks: light blue, and sage green; and a long skirt for work. Got all these loverly brand-new, perfect, and brand-name items for $80. I'm happy, and the shopkeeper seemed thrilled I happened into her store. Yay.
- Magic Herb-- lotsa incense, bag for my journals : ) It EXACTLY fits my tree-o'-life sketchbook and the journal Mousie gave me, and there's room in the front pockets for pens.
- Used Bookstore-- some old book on Ethics & the above-mentioned Nabakov (which jumped out of me, as in the dream, but wasn't what I expected)
- Open Door-- saw a beautiful pair of gray earrings, which I bought immediately. I did not dare venture further into the store.
Monday 10/21
Rehearsed. This time, we went to Joanna's, and sat around.
The W's cat, Pause, was put to sleep : / I loved that evil cat so much. No, really. She hated everybody. Even me. But we loved her so anyway. She will be missed. I need to find that guy and give him a hug when he's feeling better.
Tuesday 10/22
Had a make-up3 class scheduled, but it was cancelled.
Went to karaoke with E again. This time, I sang:
- Linda Ronstadt's When Will I be Loved
- Bonnie Tyler's Total Eclipse of the Heart
- Janis Ian's At 17
- AC/DC's Shook Me All Night Long
I got lotsa compliments on Total Eclipse. *blush* Even in the bathroom, which struck me as somewhat odd4.
They don't have Thunder Road, Please Mister Please, Just a Girl or any Ani. Bummer.
I asked if this one guy was dating this girl I know. I got the explanation that no, he's gay. Well, the gay guy just asked me out. It all becomes clear by and by.
Wednesday, 10/22
Class was cancelled. Don't think I did much of note.
Thursday, 10/23
Vanquished (or at least momentarily tamed) the Eville Laundrymonster.
Friday, 10/24
What the heck did I do?! Oh yes-- I wanted to go to see a staged reading of Faustas, but E had food on his mind (and I wasn't about to go alone-- besides, I was hungry, too, and I haven't been taking care of myself nearly well enough in that department of late). So we went to Mangia's Cafe and CHOWED.
I got the shellfish tetrazzini (tender scallops, shrimps and lobstermeat in a sherry cream sauce, over angel-hair pasta), their nummy salad, and finished up with chocolate mousse pie (a layer of white chocolate over a layer of milk chocolate, over a layer of dark chocolate-- each layer had a distinct taste and texture... I was literally seeing double afterward).
Yesterday and Today
Did a lot, and had a lot of fun in the process. Deserves its own post, really.

I wish you every happiness this year (though not simultaneously-- that'd be messy, for certain).

bobcatMaxman keeps pestering me to give him one of my invites... Perhaps I should.
And jftr, I miss Sunday
i llustrations.Hugs to those who need 'em, those who want 'em and those who don't run away quickly enough.
1 Well, in present, really, since that's all we can ever really experience; but present presently removed from now.
2 A closed-to-traffic cobblestone street with neat stores that don't get nearly enough business.
3 Make-up as in to make-up for a class I missed. Not eyeliner, blush, etc.
4 Actually, the bathroom really isn't so odd at all, really.
