Several minutes ago there was a great crashing of glass. Ted, jerked from sleep, said, “God damn cat! God! Damn! Cat!” with unusual vehemence, and leapt out of bed. I followed, less annoyed but equally awake, and we searched the house, finding a slinking, guilty Zilli, but no broken glass, much less the broken crystal that I feared. We determined it must’ve been outside. It turned out Ted’s vehemence was born from Lucy puking outside the bedroom door at 4am, an incident which I blissfully slept through. And now he,…

thinks & things
The artist in yesterday’s post is Gabriele Dell’otto, which, well, of course, that makes perfect sense now that I know who it is (he’s the guy who did the relatively recent SECRET WARS miniseries, that lush fully painted OMG gorgeous story).

You have the potential to think deeply and rationally and you always have time for your friends. Positive Traits: determination, self-confidence, willpower, dignity, originality Negative…
command performance & a damned fine book
After finishing the revisions yesterday I took the rest of the day off, and went to see “Penelope”, under the logic that it would be charming and wonderful. It was. I adored it. As some reviewer said, Christina Ricci, even with a pig’s nose, is still awfully cute, and so was the movie. It even had a twist I didn’t expect, which was pretty cool for a frothy sweet little fairy tale. :) *And* I *also* finally got a command performance! That was the first time I’d ever actually been…
