Wrote a long entry that got munched by LJ earlier. Short summary: Am working from home (as this is one of those hell work weeks), Elayna's off from school until tomorrow (but thankfully slept until 7:45),
shadesong is home sick, and I am constantly reminded how much OS9 (and any other OS, too) sucks compared to OSX.
Anyway, I took a break for some reading, and found something I liked. Elayne Riggs, in her recent blog entry, sums up so many of my problems with memorizing pop culture, and has a very similar attitude to mine. It's one of the reasons I don't buy trilogies or series books until they're all released, and also why I prefer buying graphic novels to comics.
And the whole memorization thing is why I really wanted to bitch-slap every single character in Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, much as I enjoyed the book.
Anyway, back to work. Coffee good.
