Random Stuff


I have books to review, but I have to be in the right mood to write them. I guess my mood has been more random than anything the last couple days. I particularly like my randomness from yesterday... I was laughing at the memories when I wrote them. I think I might do posts like that more often just so I can look back on them and laugh... you know what I mean? I won't remember them otherwise...

Take tonight for example. After the cookie conversation there is silence:

Him (really need to come up with something better...): What are you doing?

Me: Updating my blog. The post is called "A Day in the Life of Me." I wasn't in the mood to do a book review.

Him: Oh, yeah, what are you writing about?

Me: Elephants.

Him: You aren't blogging about what I said to you on the phone, are you?

Me: What does it matter? You are just a random person, you could be anyone! You could be several anyones. No one knows.

Him: Or, you could be making it up.

Me: Yup.

Him: So, are you blogging about what I said on the phone?

Me: Yep.

Him: What! You can't tell people what I say!

Me: Why not, it's funny? People will enjoy it.

Him: Really?

Moving on. My review of The Bleeding Dusk by Colleen Gleason is up on Historical Tapestry. I reviewed it a couple days ago, but I had to wait my turn to post it. This sort of proves the completion of the R.I.P. Challenge. I will read more, of course, but I like knowing that I actually finished a challenge considering how sporadic my reading has been lately!

Anyway, so far I have read:

The Bleeding Dusk by Colleen Gleason
The Halloween Tree by Ray Bradbury
The Bloody Chamber by Angela Carter
The Ladies of Grace Adieu by Susanna Clarke

  3. tanabata: haha, I told him. I sent him a text after I read it and then he called a bit later. I didn't bring it up again, but he asked what my text meant and I told him what you said. Then he asked if I really posted about the elephants and I said of course! He said thanks and then told me he was going to be more careful what he said to me... that lasted a couple hours. He just called to tell me two stories. haha

    carl: Thanks! It seems to be doing pretty good so far. People are surprised I am finished already but if they knew me the first year you started hosting challenges I was always done really early. :)

Thanks for stopping by and commenting!

I am so sorry, but I turned anonymous commenting off. I have had it from the very beginning, but that is how the spam is getting by my spam filter at the moment. If it is a big deal I will turn it back on and moderate all comments. I also changed moderation from older than 14 days to older than 7.
