So I broke down and put aside Titus Groan last night to read some fluff (why yes, that would be Sorcery and the Single Girl). And it was good. And then, this morning, I received the Nanowrimo reminder in my inbox, and realized I better get my butt in gear if I actually want a […]
Finally got back to my long delayed project to get my library up in Library Thing. I’d previously just had a couple of my easiest to recall series up there. So today, I started going methodically through my bookcases, and figured I’d stop for the day once I’d exhausted my free membership. (I’ll be upgrading
Not much going on this weekend. Still reading Titus Groan. I think I’m under a hundred pages from the end, though I still have no idea how long that will take me to get through. On the knitting front, I’ve started and pulled out a lace scarf four times now. The lace is completely kicking
It finally feels like freakin’ Fall! (Well, ok, these pictures were taken in the insane heat on Saturday, but they sure look fallish!

My best friend from college was up visiting this weekend, so we took advantage of the incredible weather to head out to the sea while she was there. The foliage still isn’t in full swing, but we were able to find some little peeks of color here and there. It was also nice to have

The Common Ground Fair is put together every year by the Maine Organic Farmers and Gardener’s Association (MOFGA), at their test farm in Unity. It’s pretty much an anti-fair. There are no rides, the food is all organic, and as locally grown as possible (and man is it good), and I don’t think I’ve ever

Read for the Book to Movie Challenge I saw the movie version of this book when it was in the theater (back in 2006), and that definitely colored my perceptions of the book. I had read online that Ridley Scott (the director of the movie) had come up with the original idea for the book
