Reading Update
The Ivory and the Horn by Charles de Lint. This is the second book of Newford short stories from de Lint. They’re good, but not quite as consistently so as Dreams Underfoot, alas. I’ll still leave my original rating, though. 🙂
Trader by Charles de Lint. Body swapping, Newford style. I found myself wondering if maybe I would give it four instead of five stars upon rereading, but… I couldn’t put it down and stayed up too late, so…
Someplace To Be Flying by Charles de Lint. Crow Girls! Really, that’s it. They make the book for me. 🙂

Relaxing games are right up my alley. Wish I hadn’t followed that link. My phone will always be low on battery!

I’m glad Super 8 took care of that nasty spider.

Linkity not on GR. Thanks goodness I know how to find you. Off to explore.
Hobbit Delivery System. OMG, I love it. That article is amazing. And I’m geeking out over it so much that I forgot everything else I was going to say about today’s Linkity.
Have a great weekend!

I find that ‘ink on skin’ creepy.
My questionnaire results – Rationality, Shyness, Aggression. Seems right. 🙂
Another grey saturday morning’s entertainment. The basket of tomatoes on my table has some new plans for the day. Tomato risotto! Puff pastry tart! While they are cooking, I may try some relaxing games.

Chris- FC is a Dune freak, and I have seen the many versions of it several times. I like David Lynch so that’s ok, but Lynch won’t even discuss that film.
A recent post from lorraine..Brought To You By The Letter “L”
A while ago I decreed that all future pets would be black because I was tired of not being able to wear black — I was constantly brushing light-colored pet hair off myself. Now, I am constantly brushing black pet hair off myself, but somehow that is better. So… I love all the black cat products!
