Yes, well. I know I said I was going to make some kind of actual New Year's entry this morning. But Eor gave me "Wintersmith," so of course I just read. :) :) :) And did some dishes. And took a sudden notion to reorganize little things on the bathroom shelves and throw out some things. We need drawers, because little crap just falls off shelves. Also did some of the paperwork for my appointment tomorrow. (Eor, I can never remember your soc, and it also wants other stuff I don't know but you probably do, so I'm leaving that page on your desk.) Wow, I hadn't realized how much there is yet to do on that paperwork. Guess I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning. Appt is at noon-thirty.
I'm liking Wintersmith a lot. :)
Oh, and the holes in my mouth are sooooo much less hurty, now. I can clean them and not usually need to take painkillers! This is a marked improvement. :)

parts of...
John H. Young - "Our Deportment"
Charles Fort - "New Lands" (he's a freakin raving lunatic, and likes to attack other people's veracity. I don't think I'll be finishing this book. I only started it because when I was a kid I read "Charles Fort Never Mentioned Wombats," by Gene DeWeese and Robert Coulson. At the time I could tell there were a lot of jokes I didn't get, and now I read this review and know why. http://homepages.paradise.net.nz/triffid/wotired/holidays58.htm ; It's about a fannish in-group from long ago.)
Lawrence James - "Raj: The Making and Unmaking of British India"
"Masterpieces of Fantasy and Wonder" - edited by David G. Hartwell
Jules Verne - "From the Earth to the Moon" and "Round the Moon"
James Muirden - "A Rhyming History of Britain" (kindly sent me bychriscorkscrew - it's pretty cool! :))
