I have gone officially friends-only. If you want me to add you and I'm not responding to your adding me because I've not noticed the new friend on my Info page, then just drop me a comment here.

12:09 am - Cooking! Madness!
Tonight, I cooked...
...savory ham and rice (new recipe, good but not awesome--too healthy-tasting)
...shark
...chicken (pre-cooking for Thursday)
...stew beef (to freeze tomorrow after I skim the broth)
...ground pork (already in freezer)
...boiled eggs
...iced tea (brewed another three-quart container)
...cabbage
...cantaloupe (okay,  sulleniguana just chopped it up)
Even Marie got in on the produce-prep action by helping peel carrots for the savory ham and rice recipe.
Our fridge is full!
Current Mood:  accomplished
Current Music: dishwasher churning--oh yes, there are dishes

01:25 am - Book club and bedtime
I posted the first discussion link on Decipher Script here. Yay, go me!
We're also getting ready to pick for February, if anyone wants to get in on the geek book action for next month. The discussion topic is on the community.
And with that--it's so bedtime. Tud!
Current Mood:  busy but must sleep now
Current Music: house still silent

12:02 pm - Busy New Year So Far!
I'm zooming. But we're back in Atlanta and I'm alive, though Very Tired of Regurgitation(tm) for anyone in the household. Stupid food poisoning.
Current Music: Single--Bilingual, Pet Shop Boys
Current Mood: zooming--late

I am nearly amused enough by everyone's review of Avatar to have it win out over 2012. arunthol may just have tipped me over. :)

All of Marie's stuffed animals are famous this morning.
So far we've had Mane the Pink-Nosed Bunny and Jingle-Leigh-O the Red-Nosed Dog.

10:39 pm - With apologies to Mr. Newton
Amazing Grace as sung to me tonight by Marie
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost in the woods but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
When we've been here nine thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we've first and second and third begun.
Current Mood: amused
Current Music: keyboard clacking

09:27 am - Hurried yay!
Enough people joined Decipher Script that we are going to try this thing. If you want to read The Mote in God's Eye by Niven and Pournelle with us, head over and join the community!
And conference call over and flaming ducks exploding around my head, so I zoom. Zoom!
Current Mood: busy
Current Music: silent house--everyone gone

12:43 am - Finally posted my Rebecca answers...
So now I can post the possibility of an unabashed-geek book club. :)

If you'd like to read a book a month or so and discuss with your fellow geeks, then come on over and join!

09:02 am - As a note
I came back to make this comment to dorsai but I wanted to make it more visible to anyone reading my last post--feel free to make your own list as well! We did debate the list that I posted among our group but I'm thinking from the responses that there may have been iconic books that we missed entirely. There have certainly been books on my list that people haven't read!
Oh, dorsai, and when Turtledove makes your list, know that I proposed him too. :) He (along with de Lint and some others) were just seen as too niche for the general geek list. To me he IS the iconic alternative history writer, though.
Current Mood: gotta run!
Current Music: work calling
