Today was 'mother in law visiting day'. We borrowed the video camera for the trip. I spent some time watching the newborn videos of Rhiannon. *sigh*

I started reading Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen last night. So far I am really enjoying it. So my vacation beach list so far is:

Beautiful Losers by Leonard Cohen

Jude by Thomas Hardy

American Gods by Neil Gaimen

Vallis by Philip K. Dick

Should give me a varied selection to chose from. I think there is an Ellison book Greg wants me to read too and I'll probably pick up a magazine or two for those times when I want something really fluffy that I don't have to focus on.

Anyone here going to the Snog show? Greg is supposed to be finding out about it but being Greg he really hasn't.

It'll be my first Ellison novel. I'll let you know what I think. Greg likes him a lot. I've seen him talk before. I think he's rather horrid too but so horrid he's funny. Kinda like Penn of Penn and Teller. That man is a beast.
Of course we will come (if we are around and Tomas isn't at work). Rhiannon doesn't admit to being sleep and you have to hit Isadora at just the right time. Mostly they run around in circles screaming so they've kinda passed that sweet cuddly stage. :) But hey, that's what grandmothers are for.

Indeed! And like I said, I haven't seen Ellison speak in years, so maybe it passed me by that it was a fun kind of horrible ;)

I don't think he intends it to be humorous but I just can't take him that seriously.
