Tuesday night

- Cold and rainy this morning and the cats got to stay in the warm bed and sleep while I got up and ventured out into the freezing landscape to pay for their kibble. Not fair.

- Read Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín last month and loved it, now giving The Blackwater Lightship a try. Great storyteller, but he needs to pick up the plot pace. A lot.

- Freakonomics sequel = pre-ordered.

- Finished our little home improvement project over a week ago. No photos because a) I'm lazy and b) it's been too dark and rainy when we get home to take any pictures. But mostly a).

- Little bro just reminded me of how much I love The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - lil' bro is a hoopy frood who really knows where his towel is.

- Just discovered the PolitiFact Truth-O-Meter. Me likey.

- Watching fourth season of Six Feet Under and very into it. Arrested Development is still the best show ever made, but I can understand why there was such a hubbub over SFU back in the day.

- Love the word 'hubbub'. And 'spork'. And 'squeegee'.

- Snoring dogs in cozy beds, dreaming of steak and chasing rabbits. Happiness is a spoiled puppy.

- Learned last night that although I thought Ben didn't like shrimp, he actually does. He just always picks them out of his meals and gives them to me because they're one of my favorite foods. That's true love, folks.
