Oooo, thunderstorm. And I am the only person on the second floor of the library. Oddly delicious.
Now that things have slowed down after the initial Everyone-Go-See-the-New-Library-NOW! rush, and summer programs are all underway, I find myself sitting patiently at the children's circ/reference desk completely catching up on all my blog reading, and the reading of LINKS from blog reading, until I really just end up ravenously collecting links to pictures of Sherlock filming (this one was particularly awesome today) and melting into a puddle of Martin-Freeman-induced fangirl goo for several hours (OMG, Martin, STOP being so adorable already! That level of adorableness should come with some kind of warning label! Every dumb little face you make sets me one step closer to leaving my husband and murdering your wife!... or... something. *ahem*) (of course the Hobbit pictures are even worse. Seriously, is he not the most adorable hobbit in the history of the world? AND THAT'S WITH SEAN ASTIN AND BILLY BOYD AS COMPETITION! Dangit I do have a thing for hobbits, don't I); SO obviously I need to use this time to start writing those brilliant blog posts that took several days to compose and were actually ABOUT things again.
Though last week I did give you a delightful recipe for tabbouleh (which, by the way, if you copied it down exactly the first day I posted it, I should point out that I edited it since because I forgot the cucumber. DON'T FORGET THE CUCUMBER, FOR GOSH SAKES. It's TABBOULEH. It NEEDS CUCUMBER!). That was actually a pretty good entry, if you like tabbouleh.
But what I mean is, I had all these brilliant philosophical bits going for awhile there, posts that took some manner of thought and drafting, or at least required me to list a whole bunch of books and characters and write entirely too much about each. I think I may even still have some of these potential blog posts in partial draft form, somewhere. But the library move threw me off, and now I've lost my train of blogging-thought. As if my blog ever had a train of thought.
Still, here I am, and I enjoy chatting with you, and I hope you also enjoy chatting with me, and that you actually READ me. I know I say that with self-conscious whiny-ness fairly regularly, but I'm here thinking of my family and friends who are mostly on Facebook and don't have time to read blogs anymore. I wonder, does anybody LOVE me? just like when we used to get home from someplace and there'd be no messages on the answering machine and my sister would go "NOBODY LOVES US!" (She hates when I bring that up, by the way. She claims she never did such a thing. But she did. Really).
So the question is, if you ARE here and reading this, what kinds of posts would you like to see more of in the future, that you would actually take time out of your busy Farmvilling to read? Toss me some subject matter! It will be fun!
And if you AREN'T here and reading this, leave a comment anyway! It's always good to know when someone isn't reading you.
Also, I'll give you candy. I won't, actually, but you can pretend I am. Virtual candy. Step right up!

Date: 2011-07-19 01:11 am (UTC)From:I can never remember what is actually going on with me when I actually find time to post something. That's my problem.
no subject
Date: 2011-07-19 12:33 am (UTC)From:Basically, anything that reminds me there is life outside of packing boxes is helpful.

Also, I could stand to read more about the Pipeweed Mafia, just because it cracks me up everytime I say the name to myself.

Date: 2011-07-19 01:09 am (UTC)From:Also, I should tell you that YOU ended up mixed up with the Pipeweed Mafia since last we spoke of it. Not actually IN it. You're actually in the Inner Circle of the Mythopoeic Society, which is, secretly, totally the Illuminati of fantasy fans. Mostly this happened because you were the friend of mine who had the best name for converting to crossword puzzle clues when I got the associated writing prompt, but I can see you as Inner Circle Mythopoeic Society, so it totally works.

Date: 2011-07-19 02:29 am (UTC)From:I'm honored - and, as you may remember, I have prior experience as the Resident Skeptic of LLAforJ, so I'm ALL about Inner Circle. When do I get a look-see??

Date: 2011-07-20 10:23 pm (UTC)From:I'm not sure why, but I haven't had much to say about books lately. This rather frightens me. Maybe I need to look into THAT as the subject of a blog post!

Date: 2011-07-21 03:41 pm (UTC)From: (Anonymous)Also, I remember you at some point mentioning you liked Dr. Who (the reboot) - I would love to hear your more detailed thoughts on it! From a literary perspective, maybe. Or not.
