Today’s horoscopes:

Phone calls and e-mails between you and your friends may get misplaced, or otherwise go astray, VICKI. A little patience is called for when trying to reach anyone at this time, especially if modern technology is involved. If a matter is urgent, it might be best to do the old-fashioned thing and actually go see the person in question. That’s the only way to ensure reaching anyone right now.

I just have one question… how does one misplace a phone call???

So who watched Lost last night? What did you think? I thought it was interesting but they really needed more than one episode to tell us what happened to the Tail Section Group, IMO.

I wish I’d recorded it so I could double check this, but one thing I think I saw when they first found the bunker was some kind of tower—like a cell phone tower or a television broadcast tower—on the mountain behind them. I don’t think I should have seen that.

Just got a book order. New books! Fun! I got:

However, I’ll probably finish the book I’m re-reading right now before I start on the new ones. I started reading Jasper Fforde’s Thursday Next series again the other night. I love this series. Much fun! I finished The Eyre Affair last night, and started on Lost in a Good Book. Then next up—er, no pun intended—in the series is The Well of Lost Plots and we finish out with Something Rotten. Then he wrote an independent though related book in the new Nursery Crime series called The Big Over Easy. I’m hoping he’ll write more Thursday Next books, though, in addition to the Nursery Crime series.

And just so you don’t think I’ve abandoned my writing I finished my read-through and now I’m working on fixing all the problems I found. Not as much fun as I’d like, but that’s life in the writing world.

Went to get the impression done for my crown this afternoon. Gaaah! Nasty!!! Why can’t they make that stuff taste better??? Of course, I almost freaked out the tech when I gagged on the gunk they use to take the impression. That was almost fun. But, all in all, I don’t recommend getting a crown on the tooth furthest in the back of one’s mouth.

Oh, and I look like Alvin the freakin’ Chipmunk again. Swell. It’s such an attractive look. NOT.

And I have to comment on last week’s episode of Bones. The main character, Temperance Brennan, is an anthropologist and novelist. And they had her publisher buying her a car because her book was selling so well. Boy, did they not do any research on the publishing biz.

Today’s horoscope:

Social events could take up a lot of your time today. (Lord, I hope not!) You could either be planning them (:rofl: Yeah, right!), or you could be actually attending (again, I hope not). If the latter, however, it could well be more than one. (Just shoot me now. ) You are feeling especially outgoing at this time (they obviously have me confused with someone else), so you should make a good impression and possibly even make a few new friends (what if I like the friends I have already and don’t want new ones?). However, it’s also important to remember to take some time for yourself. (How about ALL my time? That sounds a lot better to me!)

Well, I’d intended to post a lot sooner than this, but the weather had other ideas. For some weird reason, my phone line likes to freak out when it gets wet. It didn’t used to do it and it works fine from outside (Dad’s checked it at the box), it just doesn’t work in my bedroom. Anyway, it’s finally working again. At any rate, while I couldn’t get online, I was highly entertained by the weather people on the local news. Chickens running around without their heads (and isn’t that a lovely image? ) had nothing on my boys. Mom & I laughed and laughed at them.
