The wedding I was supposed to go to is postponed, due to, well, the hurricane. I am vaguely relieved that I will have my weekend, and will be able to make money on Friday and Monday, and vaguely disappointed that I don't get to go to the beach. Even if it was the beach during a hurricane.

I'm supposed to be in a beach front hotel in Miami this weekend.

I used to have this piece of paper, right, form back when I had no cell phone, which had phone numbers on it. The other day I tried putting numbers in my phone ,when I found the piece of paper, but I got at least one just wrong. And now I cannnot find that piece of paper.

I have been rereading The Coalition of Lions and The Sunbird (well, actually in reverse order, which means I'll probably wind up starting The Winter Prince again tomorrow, if I can figure out where it is). They are stunning. I read on the bus, on my lunch break, and I come up from the books blinking. On Monday, I got off my bus and walked through the brisk October in Northern Virinia stunned from the jerk away from the horrible salt mine at Afar. I loved the game of chess, with Telemakos as the willing pawn, to save a kingdom, as a mirror to Lleu as the unknowing pawn for the sake of destruction. Turunesh stands as an amazing counterpoint to Morgause--tie up Gaheris and leave him in the woods for a few hours, and find yourself drinking arsenic and hemlock, but get Telemakos threatened with beheading, and, oh, dear, don't worry, it'll all be fine.
They are wonderful books. Beautifully crafted. Everyone should read them, all three (Tracy, that means "go read the second and third books, even if Medraut says less than 50 words between them, and Lleu is MIA.)

All right, so I bought a bar of Toblerone for Brianne this week, as she had never had it. It tasted like mint. It's nasty and foul; nougat and mint do NOT mix. I'm trying to figure out how to contact Toblerone to complain, but I can't figure it out. Who wants to help?
