timerippleAs of today I vow never to bug Rachel about updating her LJ unless she fails to do so for more than a week, at which time I am perfectly entitled to be as annoying as I please.
Have just returned from a stroll that, while initially intended to be a quick trip to chew out the bank people, turned into a chew-out-the-bank-people-then-get-library-card-and-wander-around-type ramble. Yes indeedy, it is possible to amble. Yay for new discoveries! The evening was so lovely I couldn't bear to be inside doing anything "productive", so I just went for a walk and kept going. Nowhere special; just around the ville and the East side of campus a bit.
About the library card thing: I signed up for one, so at some point I may actually borrow something from the Wellesley Free Library. *cough*Alfred Noyes*cough* I also indulged in some browsing of Sci-Fi shelves, which resulted in my picking up several books and finally tearing myself away from Patricia McKillip's Song for the Basilisk. *joyful sigh* I must read more of her before I finish it, because from the first chapter alone it's the best I've read since Riddle-Master. Of course, I still have a few to go before then, and I have a great and pure love for Riddle-Master; so I reserve the right to throw up my hands in defeat and proclaim them all fabulous beyond mere words. Also ran across The Neverending Story. I blame Rachel for that, but in a good way. ;)
hush, hush
it's time to be sleeping,
hush, hush
dreams come a-creeping,
dreams of
peace and freedom,
so smile in your sleep
bonny baby
...
oh, hush now
anchors away
don't cry in your sleep
bonny baby
hush, hush

do i get a prize?
Date: 2004-02-27 04:38 pm (UTC)i find myself really wanting a livejournal - not because i need yet another form of procrastination, or because i've changed my mind about it being an unforgivably navel-gazing form of self-expression (i haven't changed my mind, but that opinion only applies to the case of my getting a livejournal, for anyone else i don't care), and not even because i would ever post if i got one, because i wouldn't and everyone would always be yelling at me to update - no, i just want an icon so i don't have to have all my messages be from "anonymous" sans pretty picture.
it really was pretty this evening, i agree. i sat and watched the sun set, and it took about a half hour of sitting outside on a hill before i got cold enough that i was forced to go inside. hopefully we are seeing the beginning signs of spring...and not just a peaceful warm lull before more snow and ice...

Re: do i get a prize?
Date: 2004-02-28 09:42 pm (UTC)Finally! It's good times, as Allie would say. And your prize is the use of Rachel's computer to watch Buffy episodes when she and I designate it as Buffy time. Speaking of Buffy, yes, there was a reason I got all excited when Giles started talking about quantum mechanics. Finally, something on that show I understand! ;)

Date: 2004-02-28 09:46 pm (UTC)Yes indeed! Have you discovered the Folio section in the back? Shelves and shelves of books full of photos and illustrations and all sorts of cool things! On rare occasions I find certain witticisms by our beloved President to be extremely apt: "One of the great things about books is sometimes there are some fantastic pictures".
The other statement of his that I tend to quote is "If the East Timorians decide to revolt, I'm sure I'll have a statement".
Just another coincidence?

I'm not looking too hard, am I?
