Unexpectedly free afternoon

[mayhap]

You know, I'm totally in favor of classes being cancelled on dreary, rainy days.

It just helps if we get an email about it first.

But hey, I am back in my room and not too damp, plus I have this package from my mother that arrived today, so I have the Aladdin DVD and raspberry dark chocolate and a bunch of different lotions and a colander and all kinds of fun stuff. Yay!

I also have my very own domain now: http://www.pinchofnutmeg.net This is very exciting to me, as I have always wanted my own domain name, since I was an ickle webdork, and now I have one, and it is mine, mine, all mine!

Er. Yes. I have a very exciting placeholder up now. And my fanfic is here now.

Oh, and we also read The Left Hand of Darkness, which has since become one of my top 3 favourite books (Pride and Prejudice and the Sherlock Holmes canon are the other two).

I had been meaning, in a vague way, to read that book for a while now, but with a recommendation like that I intend to do it immediately! Yay for spring break ...

Oh, you really should. I reread it every winter, and occasionally more often than that. It seems an appropriate book for that time of year.

Also, since you are a Sherlock Holmes fan, I'm going to rec you something else. I just picked up a book at the library called 'Sherlock Holmes: The Hidden Years', a collection of short stories about the time between Holmes's disappearance at the Reichenbach Falls and his miraculous reappearance in London. I've read the first four already, and there is one story that has made it worth reading, called "Water from the Moon" by Carolyn Wheat. I hope the rest of it is also good. I've liked it a lot more than I like a lot of other non-canon Holmes material.

Oh, and it's edited by Michael Kurland, so you know who to look it up under, if you decide to check it out.

Eeeeexcellent. We have a mystery bookstore/tearoom called Sherlock's Home in my hometown (yay!) that may be closing its doors soon (boo!), so I believe I'll take my mom for tea and look for it there first. I came back to look for the name of the editor and I couldn't even for the life of me remember what post we were having this conversation in. ;)
