There was a lovely essay on "As Far As We Know" (I think it's called) on NPR tonight about a bookmaker (not a bookie -- a person who makes books) and the way he and the narrator spoke about the sensuality of paper and ink and type, it made me just want to go touch a well-made book. I am a bit strange.

Had lovely weekend. [livejournal.com profile] treacle_well flew in from Boston to go to [livejournal.com profile] brian1789's birthday party, and he was properly floored that she did. She stayed with us, and is a delightful houseguest. The party was very nice, with plenty of people-watching opportunities, a chance to see some good friends and meet new people, and perfect, perfect weather. Also, every local event I go to, I get to put a face to at least one new net.pal, and Saturday was no exception. Had a really fun conversation with [livejournal.com profile] treacle_well, [livejournal.com profile] mactavish, and [livejournal.com profile] tenacious_snail about everything from boysex to -- well, mostly about boysex, now that I think of it. ;-)

Today was good, too. Walked [livejournal.com profile] treacle_well to the BART and walked around the flea market a little, then went over to [livejournal.com profile] stonebender's place, where I promptly fell asleep on him. Oy. Anyway, sleep happened for a little bit, and nookie happened, and food happened, and a bit of DVD-watching happened. Oh, and tons of good talking out under the patio umbrella, eating a fresh tomato from his partner's garden. Life is really fucking good.

[livejournal.com profile] someotherguy is at a sleep study tonight, so I'm alone in the house, which other than missing my sweetie, is something I mostly like, especially since there are people living upstairs, so I generally don't feel alone and scared here. I may just sit in front of the computer today, or I may get up at some point and do dishes and play country music and eat junk food. Or not. We'll see. Might just finish my serial-killer novel and go to bed. Gotta pick up [livejournal.com profile] someotherguy at 6am tomorrow and then go to work, so getting to bed early would be a good idea.

[livejournal.com profile] sogwife is still sewing on the garb for [livejournal.com profile] mysticallady and [livejournal.com profile] greywolf_'s wedding. We leave late Wednesday night or early Thursday morning. It's costing us a lot of time and money to do this, but we love them and want their wedding to be perfect, so off we go.

I think I'm gonna like "Firefly".

Tired. Gonna read email and LJ for a while, then toddle off to bed and think of the beauty of paper and ink and life. It's a good day, and I hope yours is, as well.
