Because you need an occasion

The National Book Festival is coming up, Saturday, October 9. Such notable SF authors as Neil Gaiman and Connie Willis will be there. And lots of other people. I'm going, b/c there're readings. And to hear Connie Willis do a reading would be so cool. If you can't make it, it's also on C-SPAN 2. And eredien, if you can't make it, and you want a book signed, let me know. I owe you, but I'd want to anyway.

I should not watch The WB when the boy is in Italy. Italy is far away, and watching Luke and Lorelai kiss (and everybody else, there's lots of kissing on the WB, esp on the season finales, which are airing tonight, b/c next week is premieres) makes me miss the boy overmuch. Not that I don't miss him normally, but... Maybe I should watch the news or something.

On the mouse front, he seems to be getting bolder. I thought that he had trapped himself in a box, which I then took outside, but either he got out on the way or hurried back in really fast, b/c as I was congratulating myself on the humane solution, I walked back into my room, and there he was. And he's kind of cute. But they eat stuff and chew through wiring and carry germs, so I don't want him in my room. If someone's gonna live in my room and eat my food, I'd like it to be someone cuddly. Or at the very least, human...
