  2. We went out tonight to see the movie The Bridesmaids. Our review is: Skip it! Imagine a rather poor Saturday Night Live skit that goes on for two hours. Meh. We left after a half hour and don’t know why we stayed as long as we did. Disappointing.

  4. My gravatars are all messed up too. I logged in and fixed them but it will take awhile to show up that way. You should soon see either my usual photo or a lighthouse. :-)

  7. Morning all! Gonna be toasty (90º). A/Cs on, waiting. I think I've already talked myself out of going to town. Rib cage hurting like a bear (as my little brother used to say). Waiting on the acetaminophen to take effect. Meh.

    Well, I'm back. Have spent most of the day catching up (including previous threads here) and taking a 2-hr nap. It was a good trip, but exhausting. And speaking of weather --- When I left Chicago Friday morning, tempts were in the 40s. I needed a medium-weight jacket. When I came back yesterday, the temperature hit 90. The jacket was much in the way.

    I took my new tablet computer with me. Like Cat with her iPod, getting it to work for me is a struggle. But it let me finish reading another of the Hugo-nominated novels: N. K. Jemison's The Hundred Thousand Kingdoms. A highly original fantasy that is quite enjoyable. Would have been the best of the year last year, but maybe not when it is up against the novel by Connie Willis.

  10. Welcome back, Bill. Hope you had a good time!

    Yep, this weather's going to take some getting used to. . . .

  11. Nice weather here yesterday and today. One of my coworkers went up to Shaver Lake on Saturday, and what we experienced as a trifle of rain he experienced as snow. Late in the year for that. Possibility of rain tomorrow; I was chatting with a fellow in Eureka (north coast) today and he said not only had it been raining, it had just been hailing. He was ready for something rather more clement.

    Miyoko discovered that our cherries were infested with some sort of small insect larvae--virtually all of them. So we removed the chicken wire and netting from the tree and kept sneaking out last night to see what kind of critters were eating the cherries, but they didn't come!

  12. Looks like everyone's getting guested, lol! (Knock on wood!)

    Bet they did come, just when you weren't looking. . . .

  13. But sorry about your cherries!

    Snowed yesterday for Megan's wedding!

  14. OMG :-P It's 84 degrees and very humid at 10 p.m. Went to the grocery, thinking it would be cooler at night. Nope, felt like being wrapped in a hot steaming blanket. Ugh. On top of that I can't figure out where I stored my shorts and I'm cooking in my own (heavy) clothes.

    I'm a total wuss about summer. Just hate hot weather. I do much better in cold.

  15. Also, sometime today I lost my driving glasses. I still have another prescription pair, so I was able to drive. I swear, it's getting scary. I'm starting to think I might need a keeper of some sort.

    I bet those driving glasses show up. And if they don't --- Well, isn't that a good excuse to buy another pair? ;)

    Yes, I had a good time, although it was pretty exhausting. All four panels I was on (including the one I didn't find out I was on until I got there) went well. And I managed to talk to the department head for disability services at next year's Worldcon (here in Chicago), and it's settled that I will be officially on stafff in a few days.

    Chicago weather has been totally changeable ever since I've been here. Nothing new about that. And having grown up in Arkansas, I'm pretty blase about tornados. Not that they aren't horrendous if you are actually in one, but I realize just how small the chanaces of that are even in areas where they are considerd common.

  18. I keep 'em on the dash of the car. Otherwise, I'd never know where they were, lol!

    At least it cools at night here. But we got over 90º today, which I could live without . . . .
