Meandering Musings

[przed]

Got a call from the shop fixing my computer. The good news? It was just the video card and it's ready to be picked up. The bad news? I won't be able to retrieve it until Thursday morning.

Had a lovely family weekend in Stratford (Ontario, not England, alas) with the family and mother-in-law. There was food, and hanging out, and trading off of child-minding time for expeditions to the theatre. I went to see a production of Chekhov's Three Sisters. And I liked it! That's two Chekhov productions in a row I've enjoyed. (My opinion of Chekhov used to be best summed by a quote from Withnail and I: "I loathe those Russian plays. Full of women, staring out of windows, whining about ducks going to Moscow." Funnily enough, though I enjoyed the play, Three Sisters is totally that Chekhov.)

I have signed up for the muncle Down the Chimney story exchange. I have clearly lost my mind. And if any of you is of an UNCLE bent, I encourage you to lose your mind in a similar fashion. (Now I just have to work out how to balance that and the dialj Christmas challenge.)

We finally caught up on Supernatural. Yay Dean! And Sam! And Cas, how totally much do I love you? Lots! (Seriously, if I had time I'd be reading every Dean/Cas story I could get my grubby paws on.)

That is good news about your pc, and your weekend sounded great. Good times catching up with family.
Must confess I've not read/seen any Chekhov. I tried some Dostoyevsky which I found to be very heavy going; think I'll stick to Tolstoy. There might be a lot of each book but at least I can follow him.

Very good news on the computer. I've taken to staring at the Sweetie with puppy dog eyes until he lets me use his computer.

I've not read any Tolstoy, but I did read Crime and Punishment on my breaks whilst I was working at a racetrack. That was surreal. Low life gamblers in the book; low life gamblers standing in front of me making bets.
