meandering through a rainy morning.

<3s mizzmarvel for writing Trivial! Ah, that bittersweet birthday thing, you evoke it so well. And with an interesting (tasty?) end.;) I wasn't up for writing anything back to her last night.

Speaking of Prof/Gilligan - I told Preacher about that the other day and he cringed and did the 'sick/wrong' thing at me, then said, "Skipper/Gilligan seems like the natural pairing. The Professor had a thing for Mary Ann." I personally don't recall the Professor having a thing for Mary Ann. I think all the viewers did. But I told him that I didn't completely disagree with him, and would try to write it. I didn't tell him that was my cunning plan all along. Or, as eor said, ineffible plan, because he can't understand why I want to.

Because I've got a thing for triads? Because Ginger can have the Skipper for all I care, but with 7 characters either someone has to be left out or we have to have at least one triad? Because they're all three cute? Oh, yeah, that's probably the real reason.

To Do:
Laundry
Write matushan (who phoned to wish me happy birthday, yesterday, but I wasn't here - why do I work on my birthday? me=idjit)
Write Teena (who sent me a beautiful postcard last week, and I've been a slug and haven't written back.)
Dishes

But while I was doing avoidance of the above list, I did this...
I haven't stolen, only borrowed, these books this meme from daegaer: ( top 100 sci-fi books, as compiled by Phobos Entertainment )

( ramblings about the above list )

Time to wander off to the basement with a couple of loads of laundry. Hm, maybe I'll also go to the store and buy coffee - like, the type to make at home. I don't make very good coffee, but it's raining as if it's never going to stop, and somehow that makes me want to have coffee brewing. Also, I should go fetch my car - last night was a street cleaning night and I had to park three blocks away. (Damn street cleaners keep waking us up in a panic in the middle of the night. I feel so dumb.)

Edited to add
Argh, I didn't write the people I should. Have instead been reading a book, despite the doom-sayers saying that nobody reads books anymore. "Coyote Blue" - Christopher Moore. It's got me thinking, as I look at the clock and realize I've fucked up and am screwed again.... I've always sort of wondered at the Coyote figure. I thought maybe he's just an example of how not to behave - don't get too smart for yourself kinda thing. But now I'm thinking he maybe also stands for "guess what? your screwed. Gotta laugh about it, because there's nothing else you can do." Liking this book very much.
