Full Moon Waning
Today my cycle started, which meant I got to stay home all day. Did some tidying up, both offline and online - organized bookmarks and backed them up on linkagogo.com; updated my LibraryThing page and removed all the book “reviews”/synopses from my Multiply account. Updated the anime tracking list and realized which files got erased during the great iBook Cleanup. ::moue:: Nothing to cry over, though.
I have this Where Are You Now account. It’s sort of like my Virtual Tourist account - a social network based around travel stories. So I’m mirroring the travel blogs that I set up on WordPress over on WAYN; maybe I’ll do the same with the Virtual Tourist account. Considering that I only got into WAYN because an acquaintance from Greenbelt Chapel kinda bugged me into it, I figure I may as well make it give my travel journals a little extra exposure. ::grin::
I’m almost done with The Last Boleyn. That would be my second book in as many weeks. Not sure what I’ll pick up to read next, but I am now the happy owner of a complete Tales of the Otori quintet. Which means that unless Liam Hearn writes something more in that universe, I can settle down and read the entire saga through without getting stuck on the edge of a cliff. ::bounce:: I also picked up a book about Empress Wu of the Tang era. I already read a sort of romance novel about her, whose title I can’t recall - but it had the words “phoenix” and “dragon” in the title. A very colorful lady, that Empress - from a concubine she rose through palace intrigue to bear at least five sons and a princess, before assuming the throne itself. Naturally, there’s lots of familial tragedy throughout the years, but in the end, one of her sons rose to the throne, and the dynasty continued.
The second Laker sock continues apace. ::grin:: Ramon and I were able to drop by Megamall after I attended my second WOMFI (Women of Malolos) board meeting, and at long last, I finally discovered this Craft World store that people in the local craft scene are talking about. Not that much by way of yarn selection, but oh my - what they do have is extremely pretty. Walked out with three large skeins of Red Heart colorways, and 400m of an unknown acrylic in a colorway of various neon shades. ::whistles innocently:: I need to make up my mind about a project to follow the socks - was thinking something along the lines of fingerless gloves.
I feel kind of floaty at the moment. There are things piling up that I should deal with (like phone paying the phone bill tomorrow, oy), but my brain is fudging on the creation of a game plan. Will fall back on my usual strategy of nibbling away at the various tasks until the rooms look bright and clean and my files are in some sort of order again.
In the meantime, there’s a can of soda in the fridge calling my name. All I need is something to nibble...aha. Cold cuts should do quite nicely. Catch you when I catch you, then!
