Crap on Tap

Nothing except trying to get over this tummy bug. This is getting real old.

On-tap crap

Stuff I have to look forward to today:

Mux and I plan to watch the last episode, first season of "Warehouse 13" on On Demand.

Need to call the dentist. Whee!

Reading-aloud progress on Green Hazard: tonight we'll start with chapter 11, "Green Flash."

I won an auction on eBay for some Manning Coles books in fair shape.

Sort of looks as if I will also win an auction for a vinyl album of Norman Treigle arias.

Making veggie-stuffed burgers tonight. Maybe some brownies or a pecan pie for Henry

Waiting for Wednesday list

We may finish The Historian tonight. We sure left off on a cliff-hanger last night!

Criminal Minds? Meh. Seen it and it isn't one that I care for.

I anticipate, but without enthusiasm, dusting West View Water Authority's fluffy li'l ol' butt for failing to notice that I have not only already paid them, but that it has cleared my bank account.

Also classified under anticipation, but not the yippee-skippy department: Monthly flea treatment for the quadrupeds.

[Facepalm du jour: How did I get to this age without realizing that Iolanthe/Iolante is "Yolanda"? Just struck me during this morning's baff-time.]

Buncha stuff

Reading highlights this past week:
Strange Angel: The Otherworldly Life of Rocket Scientist John Whiteside Parsons, by George Pendle

and Mux's and my current read-aloud project, The Historian, by Elizabeth Kostova

Stuff to anticipate tonight: Cm rerun, turkey and dressing, starting a new series with the New Testament course.

typo/spell-check fail du jour: "Madison, Jefferson, and Adams were the principal farmers of the Constitution."

Whew. That sort of catches me up.

eagerly anticipate writing a vicious review

Saw a production of Gounod's Faust that managed to make me give up in despair after the Kermesse scene, and operatically speaking, I'm no quitter.

So I guess that's most of what I'm anticipating today. Roasting that DVD on Netflix and IMDb.

That, and I'm gearing up for my annual rendition of "Ode to Billy Joe."

On the agenda

Things to anticipate with delight today:

Trip to the library

A new Criminal Minds tonight

Brownies, maybe even frosted brownies

Starting to watch two series on DVD: The Wire and The Universe

Goddaughter Megan's birthday. How can she possibly be 21??? Where has the time gone???

Stuff I'm looking forward to --

A new "Criminal Minds" tonight.

Finishing this cotton-picking chapter!

Making spaghetti and garlic bread for dinner

Watching the Bernstein DVD of Beethoven's Sixth this afternoon.

Washing my hair.
