Seriously, Jane, stop being such a dick. (This cryptic comment brought to you by The Mentalist, which, if you know the show, will not be cryptic at all.)

Got one story mostly knocked out last night, a couple blog entries and some outline. Not so bad! Today, hopefully, something similar. I need to bring a couple bobbins to work, too, so I can work on spinning some more stuff now that we've got the right wheels in again. For the next not sure how long. The problem with this manufacturer is that he only ever sends out things once in a blue moon. Almost literally, too. Still. And! Need to remember to take my yarn in to dye. Which, I should go pack that up now.

Kindle arrives today! I will resist the urge to name it. Just like I resisted the urge to name the spinning wheel Murdock, what with the whole you spin me right round baby thing. I don't need to name things that aren't on the network, and I don't think I need to name my Kindle. But it will be fun to play with. Kindle, and maybe one yarn order, incoming is light this week. Outgoing, I have two big orders, ponder. And not too many small ones, so we'll see how much playtime I get. Bounce bounce bounce! Kindle! Books! Organizing! ALL THE BOOKS in one little reader thing. I love it!

Okay. First, Japanese will appear shortly. Second, a while back (I think a couple years ago?) a friend of mine emailed me a list someone had emailed her of Classics Everyone Should Read. Everyone has one of these lists. They just sort of pop up everywhere, like dandelions. Or herpes.

Anyway, I was using this list as the first-round basis for raiding the free Kindle books on Amazon when I realized that... actually, there was a lot of stuff missing. So I sent it to lireavue. And she realized there was a lot of stuff missing. And then we went rampaging all over the place shrieking in chorus as we discovered names that should be on here but weren't and cackled over the snarky commentary. And then we ran out of steam, so, internets! I am presenting you This List. If you have something you think should be on here but isn't, leave a comment! Give me not only your title and author, but also a reason you think it should be on this list. Note: we've put authors on here we don't actually agree with, but that have been influential nonetheless.
