Quick, before I screw this up.

[weaselmom]

A low-key day. It's hard to have a high-key day when you don't join the waking world until about 2:30 p.m. S left a little later for boys' day out, riding his motorcycle and playing pool. I amused myself by going to the used bookstore and spending as much time as I wanted to in the nature section. I picked up the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mammals and a copy of Lobscouse and Spotted Dog, the cookbook for the Aubrey/Maturin series by Patrick O'Brian. I can't cook but I can at least read.

The highlights from the earlier post that got deleted:

• Very disappointed with the third season of Jeeves and Wooster. Too many cast changes (for the worse) and too much mean-spiritedness. Fry and Laurie cannot carry the series on their backs. Afraid to watch fourth season.



• Had a frustrating Friday night with S because most of our plans just didn't work out. All started out well, with a yummy Blue Willow dinner and shopping for music (see ":wumpscut:" below). But couldn't connect with friends and almost missed the sunset at Alki. Unexpected treat: half a dozen low-riders popping their way down the boulevard. Suspect S and I are the only people to cruise Alki blasting industrial music.



• Feeling uncharacteristically lonely and melancholy. What do I really want or need right now? A clean house. A release of tension. Attention. Being petted and soothed. Have tentative plans for movie and lunch tomorrow with K & C. This should cheer me up because it's impossible to remain down in the dumps when around sunny, funny Monkeyboy.
