Lunchtime (on the west coast) Life Collection

None of you has a birthday until Feb 2. How'd THAT happen?
Elijah Wood is 29 today. Nick Carter (Backstreet Boys) and Joey Fatone (N'Sync) both have one today. What a crazy random happenstance! Alan Alda is 74. And my hero: Colette. She scandalized France with her racy novels.

Our "I didn't get a Harrumph outta that guy" department:
The military reaction to Obama talking of ending DADT. (Check the hand position)

~~~
Confessions of a book pirate. No sympathy for him here.

~~~
Graphic Sex! (as performed by Ballpoint pens)

From the Flip-Flop Department:
In late 20909, Harlequin announced it was opening a vanity imprint. The Romance Writers of America do not approve of vanity publisher, or let such places play. Or do they?

Shamless Promotion.
Jupiter Gardens is planning to run online classes at Jupiter Gardens University. No credits, but hopefully some fun. Watch this space. I may be teaching crochet!

Hmm, it almost makes sense!

State of the Sooky

Work: was worky.

Workout-not bad. 15 on the exercise bike burns 80 calories.

Weight Watchers: emotional eating meant a bad scale day. Track hard this next week. Fewer cookies.

Writing: Minimal

Kids: cold and burrowing under blankets to watch Buffy with me.

Weather: getting sleety

Scent of the day: Yew-Tree Piercingly sweet berries over evergreen boughs, deepened by the tree’s sacred wood. Like this but it doesn't throw much.

Tarot Meditation for the day: The Tower.
False structures, false institutions, false beliefs are going to come tumbling down, suddenly, violently and all at once.
