RIP Trumpy

No, apparently the world is not done with me yet. Got a call from my mom. Our Scottie has passed away, after many, many years with us.

Sleep well, Trumpy. Guess that spot right above your thigh doesn't itch so badly, anymore.

Pics from last Christmas: one and two.

And yes - the dog is named after the alien in Pod People.

book reviews

Let's focus on some positive aspects of the past week!

It seems I must alternate serious knitting with serious reading to get progress done on either, so since the socks are finished (oh right, I need to post pictures) I have taken a break and gotten some reading done. So far I finished two books from other people's free-book piles, both of which are slightly out of my normal reading stereotypes (with more free books that further stretch these stereotypes coming!)

The Silver Metal Lover by Tanith Lee, a romance/sci-fi/cyberpunk novel. ( Read more... )

Superfolks by Robert Mayer, another book from the 70s, this one perhaps the first "superheroes in real life" satire. ( Read more... )

Either book is available for lending out, if anyone is so inclined.
