So I did think of something, and in a few minutes I will be setting out to try and make my way to a beach! :D

And if I don't get there somewhat within the time stated in the instructions, I will turn around and get back in the area of home. And go to the Starbucks next to my used bookstore and wait for it to open. ^^ Or maybe I'll just do that anyway. I take with me memeing to think about, and my camera, and The Once And Future King! And my camera! :D

In the meantime, have some pictures I took yesterday and a one of Dusky a few nights ago - I'm trying to get good at taking them without flash before I really focus on her again, so she doesn't get too used to it. >.>

( Do I even need a cut for smaller pictures? )

So tired I actually have a headache. But good-tired.

More laters. Right now?

*WAR WHOOP!!!*



That is all. *sounds of things falling and concussions being had*

( quiz cut! )

The plan, such as it was, was to get out to the beach to take spiffy photos and enjoy the beach.

The plan first ran aground on I-10, in the lovely stop and go traffic. x.x Wherein I wondered if I'd even know whether I'd passed my exit or not. I'm still not sure exactly where I screwed up on that account. What I do know is that I ended up downtown, at the Alltell Stadium. O.o;

( Picture cut begins! )

And ends!

So I got back on the road, what with the camera being full and all. >.> And ended up going in this huge circle for an hour, I kid you not, which ended with me back at the stadium. Insert cussing and tearful aggravation here, because by now the bookstore was about to open anyway, wasn't it? And what was the point of getting coffee I couldn't sit down and enjoy! And *angstannoyedupset*

*lightbulb* Why am I looking for the exit to 295 when I got here from the I-10?

Joy!!! Success! Knowing where I am, even! XD

And on to the bookstore, because darnit, I was awake! And it was going to be open by the time I reached it anyway!

I have never had a more successful book-run. *.*

Haul: Volume One of Hikaru no Go (because I am curious, and I have a thing for ghosts even though they scare me. I am noticing this seems to happen with things that scare me - I bury it and let it soak in/plant roots for awhile, and then things start growing. Not sure yet if that's a good thing.)
Space Opera - a collection of sci-fi stories about music, which I read long ago and couldn't find again for the longest.
Faery! - another collection, with an old story that I loved. Actually both books were borrowed and then I couldn't find my own copies. Wah!
Mirror Dance - Lois McMaster Bujold Actually it was the pure joy of finding this, coupled with the nostalgia of being in my favorite old bookstore, caused me to go hunting for the two collections. ^^

And so I thought of a meme!

You know how sometimes you read a really good story, but you didn't keep the book - maybe it was even a library book - and then you can't remember what it was called? Describe it. Then paste this, with a link to your own description, and invite others to do the same. Maybe we can help find out what the story was!

Mine was a libary book - something about a boy whose parents didn't seem to like him much. At least he thought so. They'd moved, I believe, and there was this carousel horse that wasn't quite, and he somehow ends up with a 'sister' from another dimension or timeline? She was speaking backwards, and... I just don't know. I know I kept holding the book up to mirrors to be able to read things, and the carousel horse was somehow her ticket home, and she invited him to come with her, but by then he'd learned to appreciate his parents or something.
