Odds & Ends

pshaw_ravenLittle, Big is getting a 25th anniversary edition! I already have a paperback, but this looks like it's going to be a gorgeous, illustrated, nicely bound book. If you feel like dropping ninety-five bucks on it. There are some higher tier editions but it looks like the pre-orders are sold out. I wouldn't mind having an illustrated edition of this novel, but it's a tad pricey for me.
I've got a few more blank journals/notebooks to get rid of, and I'm in the same pickle as before - where to do it. So if you want a blank journal for a diary, hobby journal, or something similar, I can send you one or two. I have six, which isn't too bad. Heck, if you want them you can have all six. Four are the smaller A5 or A6 size, and two are larger, almost 8.5x11 like regular student notebooks. Now that I'm moving up to having real fountain pens and nice ink, I've decided my thoughts are worth better than the notebooks that went on clearance at Walmart after their back to school sale ended. Paper quality is unknown, binding is dubious, cover is kind of pretty. I don't mean to talk them down so much, they're perfectly good notebooks, I'm just being a snob.
Fox is out doing his virtual Boston Half run this morning. I'm still looking at doing mine Sunday. It absolutely poured rain last night - I haven't checked the gauge yet, but some big storms rolled through yesterday evening. Most of it went north of us and stalled right along the coast, but later on we got pretty heavy rain. I was half asleep, so I'm not sure how long that went on.
I think it's finally starting to be fall here. In the past two days I've found two centipedes and a scorpion in the house. Feisal was just tapping the scorpion with his paw ... like ... how did that thing not sting you, you stupid, stupid cat?? So that's going to have me shaking out shoes, bed sheets, and pillows for a couple of weeks. On the other hand, it's gorgeous weather early in the morning, but it gets hot and gross in the afternoons, like usual. But autumn's on the way. I get so ground down by summer's heat and not being able to go outside much that it becomes hard to function. I just get into a daily rut and don't think to do much of anything different, because what does time mean when I live in an air conditioned box? I'm like a zoo animal, except a really boring animal no one wants to look at.
I have this weird urge to drive into town today. We don't specifically need anything urgently, I mean, Fox might need some more brake fluid to finish fixing the Birdmobile. Just for some reason I want to get out and go do something. Although with me, after I've gone out, stopped and gotten a coffee, contemplated life for a bit, I'm good and ready to go home.
