Reading and Listening: Still Here!

[pantryslut]

I think I skipped last week's entry entirely by accident. Sorry! I'm still here! And even reading other people's posts!

This week's music column is on Tori Amos, and last week's was about Claudine Clark and the Superbowl.

I finished Dead Ladies Project and promptly installed it on the "staff picks" shelf at work. Now I am cleaning up old bits and pieces of reading, plus magazines and cookbooks as usual, and thrashing around trying to find a new book to read. You wouldn't think this would be so hard when you work in a bookstore, but you would be wrong.

Reading Erik the Viking by Terry Jones to the kids. They are enjoying the hell out of it, and so am I. I'm working on clearing out a new bookshelf for all their "chapter books" (which include some old SF paperbacks and such, hence the scoff quotes).

P.S. while I'm here: have I mentioned yet that I'm engaged? Wedding planning is thus taking up a large portion of my brain space as well.

Congratulations! One or more persons are extremely fortunate to have persuaded you to wed them.

(I'm not being deliberately facetious; we haven't seen each other for awhile and I don't want to make assumptions)

<user=black_pearl> is the lucky person :) He's the kids' baby-daddy; we've been together for 11 years or so. We're kind of doing things backwards...
