In Lieu of a real post

Things are going on in my life, I swear (ie/ just about everyone I know not only meeting, but hanging out with Sarah Polley aka "Polley, Darling!") and the Lizard came to visit... and... I don't know. I think I found a dollar on the sidewalk or something.

Thing is, I'm flippin' tired. I'm on the rising crest of a ten-day workathon in order to get Thanksgiving weekend off, so that takes up a lot of my time. The rest seems to be taken up sleeping or staying awake until ungodly hours. Well, I know it's a few days into fall, but I just finished the last book that I'm going to finish on my summer reading list. I was... ambitious. I failed. Sob. Sob sob. Here's an updated list.
