*sigh* The bastards at ABC have axed two of my favorite shows. The delightfully quirky Pushing Daisies and Eli Stone. Personally, I think the Sci Fi Channel should pick up both shows and air them in a three hour block with Eureka.

Last night was my aunt’s visitation. I’m not sure if that’s just a Southern/Midwestern thing, or what. We don’t have wakes around here, though I’ve always assumed they were basically the same thing. It was kind of disconcerting because I kept seeing people I didn’t have a clue who they were because it had been so many years since I’d seen them. And then there was my aunt’s teenaged granddaughter. I didn’t think I’d seen her since she was a baby. Then I realized late last night (don’t ask me why it didn’t occur to me until then… my mind is a scary place) that I’d met her last year! :roll: Sheesh. She probably thought I was insane.

There’s a movie on tonight on the Sci Fi Channel that looks interesting. Lost City Raiders. I’m not entirely sure what it’s about, but I’ll give it a whirl.

I wrote a whopping half page last night. Better than nothing, I suppose.

Reading: Still reading 1634: The Baltic War. And likely will be for some time. It’s 752 pages. In hardcover. I shudder to think how thick it is in paperback…. :confused68: Holy cow! The paperback edition is 1072 pages!!!

According to information I found yesterday, I’m descended from Charlemagne. If I wore rings I’d let you kiss them. :rofl: (You do realize I’m not buying any of this, right?)

I’ve been scarce today because I’ve been helping some cousins whose mother is gravely ill with pulling stuff together for her funeral. Not the most pleasant thing to do, but at least what I’m doing is something I can do to help.

Not a darn thing on tonight, so I’ll be catching up on recorded shows. With all these shows I like getting cancelled, this should start being an easier thing. *g*

Wrote about a page and a half last night.

Reading: Now I’m reading My Nerdy Valentine by Vicki Lewis Thompson which is adorable. Psychology intern Amanda Rykowsky is receiving creepy “secret Valentines” from somebody and nerdy stockbroker William Sloan is determined to protect her.

From the archaeology news desk, a 4300 year old pyramid has been discovered buried in the Egyptian desert. Fun stuff!

Well, last night on Dancing with the Stars we lost [»]
