I thought I might go find my copy of the Hobbit, since Mark is doing it over at Mark Reads, I haven't read it since 7th grade a zillion years ago, and a good book might help me get rid of this depressed, lonely feeling I've had for a few weeks. I want to go outside and read it in the sun while we still have warm sun. After searching around to see where my parents had moved it I finally found it.

Inside the cover (it was a used book) is a dedication to someone named Bert for Christmas 1975.

On the next page I wrote my own name... and the url to my livejournal. This was back when urls to non-paid LJs went like this: http://www.livejournal.com/~ivybgreenflower

oh, 14-year-old Ivy. You were a loon.

I am going to read a book I read once and loved in my teens. I hope I don't discover some sort of unsettling anti-feminist themes or something that totally ruins it.

I'll let you know how this goes.


ALSO I SAW A BASEBALL GAME AND JAMES SHIELDS PITCHED A COMPLETE GAME AND IT WAS EXCITING AND WONDERFUL. Oh, baseball, I love you.

So today I got the paperback of Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs in the mail. I wasn't expecting it but I got a hunch to check outside my door, and there it was! So that was a nice surprise. I wanted to get the book before the movie came out and possibly changed the book or something, since the illustrations are the best part of the whole thing. It's such a cute book. I loved it so much when I was little. And now I can give it to my child(ren) someday.

Also I just added lj-notify to my safe senders list (I haven't gotten e-mailed comments in years, so it always looks like I'm ignoring people) and I think I finally fixed it. I'll be testing it soon.

Maybe it doesn't send me my own comments. Someone else leave one so I can see.

ETA2:
K so it doesn't send my own comments, but it does send me other people's replies to my comments, which is so awesome, I'm so happy now! :D

Beatles

My parents and I went to Wal*Mart last night (I picked up some backup shampoo for when what I've got runs out) and we looked in the bin of discount books. We found a Beatles book (I think I already own all of the books worth owning- Mark Lewishon's two Beatles chronicles [every day in their lives and what they did on that day, one book featuring every day they ever recorded anything ever and another on what they did outside the recording booth], which I find myself studying every so often, The Beatles Anthology itself, the complete book of Beatles lyrics, George's autobiography where he published the original handwritten lyrics of all of his best songs and talked about them, and a few picture books) but this one looked really interesting, written by a man who went on the Beatles' two US tours with them as a broadcast journalist (the only one who toured with them) and so we bought it. I've been reading it and it's fascinating and very weird (he keeps talking about people getting broken limbs and head trauma at concerts, which is incomprehensible).
Last night when we got home I had one of those found-ten-bucks-in-your-jacket-pocket-from-last-winter moments, when I opened the book and found out it also contained a CD of 60 minutes of Beatles interviews.

So that was cool. (I read in Prevention magazine from some crazy sappy religious quasi-hippie lady that you should cherish these moments, so I am. Because you can always get sound medical advice from a magazine that tells you not to drink caffeine so you don't get high blood pressure on one page and then three pages later tells you to drink five cups a day, no exaggeration, if you don't want to get dementia. But it was a free subscription and this lady's column is on the back page so I don't think they expect you to listen to her anyway. Whatevs.)

Anyway, I've taught my parakeet how to shake hands (um... sort of, I put my finger near his foot and he grabs my finger with his foot and I move it up and down and then he bites my finger, but not hard) but my other parakeet is not interested in shaking hands (actually, I tell Mookie to shake paw, because I think it's cuter. Perhaps Rocco is simply insulted by my baby language, idk.)

Also, I've used a lot of parenthesis. So, time for bye byes now. Kbye.
