annathepiper+0: I see a new person has Friended me. Hi there, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

+1: Cold out this morning, cold enough that not only was there a bit of ice on our front steps, there was also ice on the lake. I was stunned enough by that that I didn't really register what I was seeing at first, but damned if that wasn't ice I saw on the bits of Lake Washington that come in close to Bothell Way. It can't have been very thick, surely, but it can't have been anything but ice what with the white sheen over much of the water and the glimpse I got of what looked like plants or leaves unmoving in the middle of the white.
+2: I have been writing the last couple of days, but only a scattered paragraph or so here and there. It's about all my muse has been able to manage, but it is at least SOMETHING. Because damned if I'm going to let election events get in the way of my book.
+3:mamishka came over last night, and although our plan to watch Firefly episodes got unexpectedly thwarted by my remembering that solarbird has taken our DVD player in for repair, we did have a nice time watching Superman: The Movie in belated honor of Christopher Reeve. We followed it up with an old episode of "Lois and Clark", which was fun too. Just amusing in general to have two Superman portrayals back to back. ;) And I'm wondering how much longer it'll be before the visual joke about Supes not being able to use a phone booth won't be gotten by a viewer--and how many younger viewers won't get young Lana Lang asking young Clark over to play some records. :)
+4: I have new gloves. They are cheap gloves, purchased at Rite Aid, but they are a bright shade of purple. They keep my fingers warm, and unlike my last pair of gloves, one of them does not have a badly placed hole right on the index finger. This is a distinct improvement. Now all I need to do is get a jacket that doesn't look so shabby.

Date: 2004-11-04 06:11 pm (UTC)That said, Meems also told me about a recent plot development that I won't get into, but which actually made me blink and go "now that's kind of cool"...
Don't know if I think it's cool enough that I'll go out of my way to watch it, just on the grounds that I'm out of the habit of watching television. I tend to get all my entertainment from the box with the keyboard, these days. ;) I have to consciously think to schedule time for it. :)
