Rainy Days Are Here Again
The windstorm last night howled at the window (especially around the air-conditioning unit) but there was no power outage in this slice of the city. I occupied myself with watching the idiot box for a while, but the Chinese soap opera we’ve been watching wasn’t on. So it was finishing Stephen King’s newest (Lisey’s Story, not his ultra-best but certainly not his worst either, and very enjoyable) and Mark Steel’s Vive la Revolution, which is snort-out-loud hilarious. Guy is a stand-up comic who’s written one of the best books about the French Revolution EVER.
If it’s wrong to think that’s sexy, I don’t ever want to be right.
Quick note to Reader Meara: yes, I know about Red Dwarf and LOVE the show. Coincidentally, as I was with my sisters having Indian food Wednesday night I saw a vindaloo on the menu and thought of Lister, Cat, Rimmer, Holly, and the gang. I ended up getting chicken tikki masala, but such is life.
Today if the traffic isn’t that bad, it’s the Asian Art Museum since SAM is closed for renovation. The Sullen Teen is very excited to be (drumroll please) Visiting An Actual Museum With Lili. He announced in all seriousness at the dinner table Wednesday that he was looking forward to it, since it will (wait for it…) Feed His Muse.
I’m rubbing off on the boy. I may yet drag him to the symphony, too, with the Princess. I think the Princess will enjoy dressing up and the Sullen One may enjoy the music. I’ll culture the twain if it’s the last thing I do. Yep. Just like yogurt I will.
For right now, it’s getting the morning business out of the way–little things like breakfast, shower, coffee, and organizing the day. Och. Vacation is such hard work.
*ducks thrown object*
Have a wonderful Friday, Readers. And a beautiful, perfectly marvy weekend.
