It's Easter! Happy Easter! You know what this means, don't you? It means that Lent is OVAH! And that I can read journals again!

This also means that, since I got myself thoroughly addicted to Salon since I have been gone, I will never read anything offline again. All those books I bought in London will just rot.

So, yesterday I slept until 2p and was happy as a clam. Today, I woke up at 9a after going to bed at 4a, and also am happy as a clam. I suppose that no matter when I wake up, if it's a spring morning (or early afternoon) and I don't have to go to the office, I'm a joyful bivalve mollusk!

I went to the store last night and spent $70 on groceries. I guess that I think that I will be eating breakfast in, as I bought things like cereal and bacon and pancake mix and things. I don't know why I think that I won't buy breakfast, but I think that I'm going to have to, seeing as I now have no money until my next paycheck!

I kept looking at things, shrieking "Three dollars for this little package of tortellini?!" but since that will make two lunches, it's not so bad, actually. It was just spending the $70 that hurt.

I'm not going to be able to go to a movie for simply weeks.

Great entries I'm catching up with: Beth's Story of a Smart Little Girl, and her link in another entry to the hilarious Skinhead Hamlet.

Beth's reading list is taunting me. Not that I particularly want to read a bunch of books that I don't want to read, but that I really need to read the books that I have! And now I'm back on journals! Ah well, it'll all come out in the wash. She should read Q's Legacy, her reading list reminds me of Helene Hanff.

Okay, books I am reading (most of them I have read before), nothing like as erudite as her list:

Moominpapa at Sea by Tove Janssen
Molly Double Rainbow by Elisabeth Hamilton Friermood
Beany Malone by Lenora Mattingly Weber
Stopping For a Spell by Diana Wynne Jones
A Tall Man in a Low Land by Harry Pearson

Four children's books and a humourous travel book. Not a Beowulf in the bunch. But I have an out, I cannot buy any more books, and I cannot afford to pay my library fines! Just squeaked out of that one...

Today's horoscope:
Resist the urge to nag someone close to you about weight, spending, or alcohol. You're most effective setting a good example.

One year ago today:
And Surya--I have no idea how people think that that's skating. I call that lumbering around the ice, stopping, and jumping, not skating.
