Scattered

Any­body else using Live­Mocha? Espe­cially to learn French? I just joined (as Tech­noMom, of course) and would like to have “friends” there. I started with the begin­ner level, les­son one, and actu­ally learned a few new vocab­u­lary words. (My wee bit of for­eign lan­guage instruc­tion in high school sucked, to put it mildly.) You’re sup­posed to ask your “friends” for feed­back on your lessons, but I don’t have any and don’t really want to ask total strangers about how badly I did.

Sam and Katie have been at Dragon*Con for the past few days. We had a house guest, David, but I didn’t really “meet” him because of the late con hours and hav­ing a really bad pain flare. Sorry David! He went home this after­noon. I’m glad Sam has the day off tomor­row to recover. I’m glad Hope got to come to D*C, but pout­ing because I won’t get to see her while she’s in town. I know that she has bright­ened Sam’s weekend.

I fin­ished read­ing The Jen­nifer Morgue by Charles Stross last night, and started Phae­dra Weldon’s Wraith. I liked Morgue, but it wasn’t quite as strong as The Atroc­ity Archives. The short story at the end of the book, “Pimpf,” didn’t do too much for me, but I’m not a video gamer so that prob­a­bly has a lot to do with it.

I’m really lik­ing Wraith. A lot. The fact that it’s set in Atlanta is nice, because I can fol­low along the geog­ra­phy as the char­ac­ters move around. (Usu­ally, such things go right past me, even if there’s a map.) Thanks to Good Reads, I know that there’s a novella, “Out of the Dark,” on Weldon’s site that takes place between this book and Spec­tre.

I’ve also been brows­ing through the archives at Two Lumps, thanks to a link from . I had a pair of Russ­ian Blues who were entirely too much like Ebenezer and Snooch! If you’re a vet­eran of cat cohab­i­ta­tion, be care­ful when read­ing. I rec­om­mend not hav­ing a drink in hand (or in mouth) and being care­ful to empty your blad­der before you start reading.

Kyoshi is busy telling me that he still doesn’t want to cud­dle with any­body but Katie, but he wants her home NOW! RIGHT NOW! And that we really have to stop let­ting the kit­ten out of the house with­out his per­sonal supervision.
