Am luxuriating in freedom, humidity, and Lovecraft right now. I got back from the car repair place hours before I anticipated because they (to quote the adorable old man behind the counter) "double-teamed [me]." HAH! And to make things even kinkier, Tod was on the phone with me almost the entire time. (Although, if I got double-teamed, it seems unfair that I should have to pay THEM...)
So now I'm in my flowy satin nightgown, which is actually a gorgeous afternoon tea gown but I can't wear it as such because it isn't particularly flattering on me - makes me look like a Japanese pillar. But it's still lovely and cool.
For the past few days I've been kicking back and relaxing (and occasionally cleaning in a half-assed sort of way). T's coming home tonight, and the boys seem excited. (At least, they don't seem UN-excited, so who's to say they're not?) And now I start werk on Thurs., according to Campface, who has changed the day on me a couple times. Ah, well...at least I finally know I'm hired.
Thank you, Nikki, for the invite to your wonderful BBQ, and the sake set, and the staff (I'll give you a fiver on Wednesday)! I've told Tod he has a "Gandalf-surprise" waiting for him at home; he seems intrigued.
Saw "Stardust" with M. last night; it's a gorgeous and funny movie (based on the Neil Gaiman novel, if you loved Good Omens, and who didn't?!?). It's rather reminiscent of "The Princess Bride"; you should rent it.
Off to read about Cthulhu and Nylarathotep and Yog-Soggoth and all sorts of wicked beasties from out of space-time; I do like a good Lovecraft in the summertime (winter is just too grim already without him adding to it). I'm reading an annotated version, and we have several interesting similarities; our love of cats and our obnoxious Anglophilia, to name a few. I really have a great affection for the guy, along with "Crazy Uncle Steve" King. This is probably because I am positively morbid.
Ta! |
