- The library is doing this event in..."celebration of" is the wrong word, but it's that sort of thing. In memory of? I don't know. Anyway. This event dealing with Linda Hazzard and her sanitarium. And, I mean, I read Starvation Heights and I completely understand the draw of that book* and sure, I can see it being historically interesting to go and see the place where it happened. But that doesn't mean that I want her face staring at me every time I go to the library webpage. It's kinda freaky.
- My bloomers are about a third of the way done, in that I have made both legs and joined them together and now get to knit the body portion. And then I get to knit the ruffly bits! I am so excited about doing something that isn't stockinette, I just can't even tell you.
- While knitting, I have been watching season 4 of Supernatural, which I skipped ahead to because there is a list of Things Sara is Easy For In Fiction and both angels and the War in Heaven are pretty high on that list. Supernatural is fun and I'm enjoying it but it has some obvious flaws. Thus I make a request - can anyone recommend some fiction that has angels and the War in Heaven and also, maybe, some women? Possibly more than one? Any medium, I'm easy. (Alas, I have read Good Omens to recently for that to be of any use. Also other relevant things by Neil Gaiman. Maybe I should netflix The Prophecy again...)
- It is really sunny today. I'm glad to see the sun, but I'm really not looking forward to it getting warm. I realize that it's necessary but sometimes I really would like to skip summer entirely. (I'm such a wimp - it barely gets above 80 here. I still want to skip that.)
*Tangentially, it is still oddly thrilling to read stuff that's set where I live. I mean, Seattle is thrilling enough but a lot of Starvation Heights happened in Kitsap county. So weird.
