Those can’t be real.

I went to the gym this morning, more through Ted’s force of will than mine (for which I am grateful). There’s a woman at the gym that every time I see her all I can think is, “Those can’t be real.” Well, sometimes I also think, “You don’t really think you’re fooling anybody, do you?” Petite blond woman without much body fat and a tiny ribcage and smaller waist and slender hips and these great big ginormous breasts. I don’t even get as far as thinking, “Ow.” I just stop…

97 books!

I’ve just finished reading Steven Barnes’s LION’S BLOOD, which has been on my TBR shelf for just under two years. I started having the impulse to actually read it a day or two ago, and now I’m glad I did. It’s really a very good book, much more satisfying than the other book of his I read some, uh, 15 or more years ago. That one (GORGON’S CHILD) I *wanted* to like, but it fell flat.

It’s just warm enough that the top layers have melted, so there’s water on the ice, which is treacherous. Friday night Ted had to go do catering stuff for his hospitality…

mememememe

I kinda like this meme, which I gakked from Peg Kerr. The first couple questions are LJ-centric, but general approximations as appropriate for a non-LJ forum will do perfectly well as answers. :) 1. When did you first “friend” me? 2. Why did you first “friend” me? 3. What posts of mine do you like to read the best? 4. What would you like me to write about that I don’t? 5. Do you think we would be friends in real life? 6. How often do you read my journal?…
