silver day

[threeplusfire]

The rain's coming down hard again, and the ground is saturated. We have a small moat now, running down by the fence. Everything's going silver, and now I no longer have to wonder what the rain would look like from this place.

Reading Cyteen because my mind needs a break from Slavic Literature & Important Things. It's literate brain candy, so it's not so bad as Melynda and her romance novel habit. I might watch Valmont for the third time, and that is getting a bit out of hand.

Making lists, trying to decide what books to pack and what clothes to leave behind, and I don't want to leave any of my shoes, damn it.

I honestly find them depressing. For a multitude of silly reasons. I certainly don't expect all things to live up to the world I know but I can handle Anna Karenina's death much better than any romance novel I've looked through.

Though I must admit, your life has a bit of a romantic tale glow these days. I'm so very happy for you. :)

Right! I've fallen truly, madly, deeply in love with Danny, the semi-autobiographical hero of many of Skvorecky's novels.

You're rather plucky for a real life heroine, you know. ;)
