What I did for Potterdammerung Day

... was not read Deathly Hallows, on account of I still ain't read books 4, 5, and 6 yet. Yeah yeah yeah, I know I've kept saying I'd read 'em, just haven't been motivated to yet. I'll get to them eventually, I'm sure. I'll just have to maintain my status as a (partial) Harry Potter Heathen a while longer.

What I did do today, Part I, was the Great Cleaning Up of the Upstairs Bathroom, oh joy oh glee. Not nearly as enjoyable, I know, as reading about boy wizards--but hey, it needed to be done. And it was made more fun by watching a couple of old episodes of third-season Remington Steele at the same time. Part II involved going with solarbird to Best Buy to purchase a new flat-screen monitor for Kimo, our office computer, since its ancient humongous CRT monitor was dying. It's amazing how different it looks in there now without a huge monitor dominating the desk. And, Part III: laundry, writing, and watching of old first-season X-Files since I've been in a mood for that. Gods, I had forgotten the yumminess of young David Duchovny's hair. *^_^*

And oh yes, I made me a new Yahoo avatar icon, since I was tired of looking at my last one. This one's a bit more colorful, and has a closer match to the type of hat I like to wear even if I think it sits funny on my avatar's head!

One last thing: as y'all know, I've enjoyed the J.D. Robb "In Death" series for quite some time. Were I to try to branch out into other Nora Roberts novels, which do y'all think I might like? I am interested on account of seeing her semi-regularly posting over on smartbitches in their comment threads, and displaying a generally nifty level of public clueage, and I am therefore interested in reading more of her work.
