Nauseated. ;-x Also, cheap music!

So I've been spending the last few evenings getting back in touch with my cow of a muse. Guess what? She's still a cow. ;-p Something that was supposed to be just kind of short has mutated a bit, though it's still not very long. Only a couple more sentences and it'll be completely framed. Then the editing and re-writing begins.

Something else I'm cloooooooooooose to finishing. Just needs a couple of tweaks, I think, then a bit of editing. Another ficcy thing is COMPLETELY refusing to obey, dammit. That's one I'd really like to co-operate but so far, it ain't happening. I have the most willful stories in the world. ::le sigh::

And OY with the leaving a sandwich unattended. The world's most spoiled feline lives at my house and he's mostly a very good boy (my baby!), at least until food is involved.

( I'm allergic to cats! Accidental ingestion of feline saliva is NOT GOOD! Not graphic though, and could be slightly amusing in a 'glad it didn't happen to me!' kinda way. I don't mind if you laugh at me if it will teach everyone out there a valuable life lesson. ;-) )

Cheap music! Went to one of my favorite little hippie stores today (I love that place) to see if I could find a copy of Gimme Fiction by Spoon. I heard "I Turn My Camera On" yesterday and fell in love. I may just have to buy it new if I can't find it used in the next 24 hours. Anyway, they didn't have it but I *did* buy a couple of compilation disks, One Little Indian presents... and New Music from Redeye Distribution. Biggest score: Sly and the Family Stone: Greatest Hits. Yes! Sly, man. You've got to love it.

Hey Saturn!

I tried to add this as a comment but the post disappeared so here it is.


You may have seen this already, but there's a shortie piece in Oprah's magazine (Feb 2006) called Books That Made a Difference to Hugh Laurie. He wrote a four paragraph blurb on what makes a book memorable for him, and then a paragraph or so on each of the six books he chose, which are:

1) The Grapes of Wrath, by John Steinbeck

2) Moby-Dick, by Herman Melville

3) The Spy Who Came In From the Cold, by John Le Carre

4) Darwin's Dangerous Idea, by Daniel C. Dennett

5) Catch-22, by Joseph Heller

6) The Code of the Woosters, by P. G. Wodehouse
