Blue the sky, and green the forest
To start, two minor mysteries:

isntme, you've suceeded in rousing my curiosity. Would love to know how you found this journal. Welcome, anyway, you and the other people who found me through McTabby's intro post.
Also, I appear to have a subscription to YM magazine. ??? If you'd asked me yesterday, I'd have guessed YM was a men's magazine anyway, but apparently it's not. I have *no* idea why I'm getting it, but I do have the February and March issues. Any suggestions?
Spring Break Count:
Loads of laundry done: 5
Home-cooked meals eaten: 1
Home-cooked meals I had to cook myself: 1 (I hate peeling potatoes.)
Trips to church: 7
Trips to my old high school: 5
Attempts to drive myself somewhere during which I got lost and honked at: 5/5
Long car trips during which I fell asleep: 3
Quilt strips sewn: 1.5
Quilt squares cut: 73
Quilts tied: 7
Quilt raffle tickets sold: 15
Finished quilts delivered to Lutheran World Relief: 75
Bars of extra-dark chocolate bought at the SERRV store: 5
Dollars of my own money spent: ~15 (one McDonald's value meal, one pair black Old Navy overalls at Goodwill, one honey stick at Baugher's, Dolle's caramel corn and saltwater taffy at Ocean City)
Dollars of income tax calculated: 72 (all state, due to capital loss carryover from two years ago. Three cheers for Republican tax cuts for the rich!)
Ingrid Bergman movies watched: 2
X-files episodes watched: 2
Net lj friends added: 5
Lj entries made: 3
Roger Zelazny paperbacks read: 9
Homework done: None to speak of
So overall I'd say a success.
Friday night I used an ancient Blockbuster gift card and askedspeakerender over to watch Casablanca with me (and Mom) since none of us had seen it before. He insisted *I* be the one to write it up this time. Just because he got me to strip for him. q: Anyway, it was very nice to see him again and get a chance to talk afterward when Mom discreetly went downstairs to play solitaire. Exactly one year ago today I got him to go see CoS with me and got up the nerve to ask him for an lj code.
Very, very good movie, can't recommend enough if somehow you haven't seen it yet. Really enjoyed it the first time through even if I did know how it ended. Incredibly rich in character and story, and practically every line is famous, and then there's the special effects! So, yes, then go re-read the MSR retelling. Then go start writing an HP OT3 version, just because I can. Then watch it a second time, this time with my subtext goggles on. And omg, why is there not more rick/louis slash on the net? I mean, it's not just that last line, which I've seen so often quoted ironically there's no way I could read it straight (pardon the pun), it's every single line they say to each other, from "when it comes to women, you're a true democrat" right down to "that is my least vulnerable spot." Where the heck is all the slash?? I could only find one story, and it's AU. I've lost my faith.
