Bit of Ivory

Have started a Georgette Heyer book– The Grand Sophy. Am enjoying it immensely so far.

Submitted my SQ contest entry. I feel good about this fic. Don’t know if it’s a winner or not, as I don’t really know what the competition will be like, but I’m satisfied with what it is and what it says.

Went to the library this morning with Jen and her little sister and got some books on Victorian England, including some on clothing styles. There’s going to be all sorts of great stuff I can write about in this fic. I’m excited. The new Salt Lake City library is a beautiful building. They have a few shops in the outer area, one of which sold dip pens, ink, seals and sealing wax. I bought a new quill (I lost my old one) and some emerald green ink. Will look great on my parchment stationery. I can write out Hogwarts letters for all of you!

After we went to the library we went to the Gateway, which is an outdoor shopping mall, and got a crepe at European Connection. Then, we went and saw Pirates. That’s 6 for me! This one wasn’t as enjoyable as the last 5 times– not that it wasn’t great, it was. But the theatre had the movie out of focus the entire time. it was in focus for about a foot on the far left-hand side. Everything else was blurry. I even went out and told them, and they picked up a radio to tell–someone, I don’t know exactly who. But in any case, it never got better. The credits weren’t even readable.

If I’d been a bit more forward, I would have demanded my money back. But I’m not.

But am happy to say that Jen is still a Turnerite, even on a second viewing (which sent Angua over to the Dark Side). Hooray!

Tonight I’m going over to Jen’s to watch X-Men and eat pizza. Then tomorrow is my 5-year high school reunion!

Fun weekend, eh?
