It's the Friday Five!

1. What is your favorite type of literature to read (magazine, newspaper, novels, nonfiction, poetry, etc.)? I read everything. I read shampoo bottles while I'm in the bath, I read things I find on the ground, I read over people's shoulder. But if I have to choose a genera I'd say I love medieval fiction, victorian, science fiction and fantasy. I also enjoy romantic story lines and a bit of horror.

2. What is your favorite novel? I have too many but the books that I reread over and over again are Anne McCaffrey's pern stories.

3. Do you have a favorite poem? (Share it!) Again, too limiting! How about something medieval? I love Chaucer's To Rosemounde

4. What is one thing you've always wanted to read, or wish you had more time to read? Probably more criticism like Sartre and Derrida. It's like cod liver oil. You know it's good for you but it doesn't go down easy.

5. What are you currently reading? I'm reading "Plan B" by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, "Cordelia's Honor" by Lois Bujold, "The Tao of Pooh" by Benjamin Hoff and "Bloody Bones" by Laurel K. Hamilton. Yes, I'm one of those readers that juggles multiple books.

Went to Trader Joe's last night as I was too weary to come up with something interesting for dinner. I walked into the middle of a feeding frenzy. Two-buck-Chuck has hit Oregon. Actually in Oregon it's Three-buck-Chuck but it's not quiet as fun to say. People were buying cases of the 2001 Charles Shaw vintage and I could see why, at $35 per case (that's case not bottle!) it was like an after Christmas sale. I quickly picked up a case of the cabernet and a couple bottles of the Chardonnay. Not bad. Not great, but not bad. A very drinkable wine that goes well with pizza or as in the case last night, a nice mushroom fettuccini!

Please kill me now.

Coming out of a two day migraine fog. My head feels mysteriously empty after hours of nauseating pounding and pulsating. A migraine is sort of like having the worst hang over of your life without the benefit of having fun drinking the night before. I'm in my giddy medicated glad to be alive phase. Suddenly the world seems like a nicer place to live. The cats are good nurses, they took turns lying on top of me and purring quietly into my ear. I might even be able to make my hair appointment tonight which would be good as my hair is in desperate need of a cut and some gold highlights.
