- Tonight begins 5 days of working at night for the Germans. Neither Patty nor I is thrilled. The best case scenario is that I am done each evening by 2am.

- We are STILL sending out holiday cards.

- The Snape shoes are on sale, but not on sale enough.

- An apartment renovation continues on the floor below us, causing our apartment to smell like paint in the living room and kitchen at night. The building also got another ticket -- this time for no fire extinguishers.

- Hewitt sent me the "tell us what you're up to" form! This being Hewitt, suggested information includes the birth of children and recent vacations! I mentioned Revolutionary Road, my book, and Patty. Let's see what of that they actually use.

- Oscar noms! Saoirse Ronan!

- I tend to think my name is entirely unique. But then there is this.

The Snape shoes are awesome. I recommend actual spats. That is what I wear, though I am sorely tempted to buy such shoes. Snape is my hero. Perhaps he is everyone's hero, but he is among my pantheon, which is very very small. A friend.

I keep meaning to make myself some spats.

As to the rest, yes, me too, and it's one of those things that while I say in passing a great deal, I mean more seriously than is apparently appropriate in most conversations.

I mean it seriously also. John is everything to me, but Snape, yes. He is our friend. We have a theory where one may have friends one doesn't see every day.

I got vintage spats on ebay in perfect shape in dove grey, faun and charcoal. My feet=size 6 but I needed size 9 or 10 spats.

I was (am but only very very marginally) involved in the BDSM scene here also. i.e. I know whereof you speak, at least have experiences to compare and contrast. 8^) We don't speak of it though, which is why it does not appear..

I know you do, which is why I said it. I don't much care who sees me talk about things that are real and important to me, but I do make a point of who I bother to address such things too.

And I'm glad I manage to make some sense, at least contextually.
