It is one of the most poorly written books I'v read in ages. The old school marm in me was constantly cringing at the atrocious grammar and incorrectly used vocabulary. Terrible!<br /><br />Music: My son has been in composing mode lately and so I've been "listening critically" to a lot of his stuff. In addition to that, I've been listening to some of my favorite cantatas.<br /><br />TV: The Blacklist is back and for silliness, there is Lucifer :-)<br /><br />Perfume: Tom Ford Noir Pour Femme<br /><br />Makeup: Neutral with a subtle glow--La Mer The Soft Fluid (love!) set with Guerlain Voyage Météorites , Tom Ford Spin Spin Sugar to highlight, very light application of Chanel's JC in Crescendo, Guerlain Tonka Impériale on the eyes and Dior Rose Baiser on the lips.<br /><br />Frequently worn: The past week our weather has bounced back and forth between the low 70's and the mid 90's. It's been crazy and so layering has been the way to go.<br /><br />Food: Mush! Not really, but it seems that way. My dear husband is in the process of having major dental work done and can only eat very soft foods right now. <br /><br />Bane: Nada<br /><br />Joy: Decorating for Halloween.<br /><br />Anticipation: Our Halloween party this weekend.<br /><br />Wishlist: I hope everyone, young and old, will have a fun night of trick-or-treating.<br /><br />Random Thought: The Russian hacks and Russia's overt attempts to influence our election is outrageous and without precedent.<br /><br /> Eileenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01591893495803781535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-60974074756450888432016-10-23T13:47:23.411-04:002016-10-23T13:47:23.411-04:00I love that dress!

I tried listening to To Say Nothing of The Dog on audiobook, and quite liked it, a couple of years ago, but I don't think audiobook was the best way to experience it on first go-round, as I never finished it :-( Will have to try actually reading it, I think!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27044110.post-35788831969886128642016-10-22T00:26:38.658-04:002016-10-22T00:26:38.658-04:00I'm guessing the Acne Jensen booties are more ...I'm guessing the Acne Jensen booties are more comfortable than they look, with that point toe.

Crosstalk, in my opinion, isn't quite as good, but when it gets going it has that Connie Willis feel and that's really great about it.

I once bought a recording of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf because Patrick Stewart did the narration. I loved watching him and Ian McKellen act together in the X-Men movies because I like both of their Shakespearean actor voices. I am pretty fluid with my appearance and can only speak for myself about this. I have had hair all different lengths and cuts from below my waist and to a pixi cut. I have mid-length hair now and it suits me. I would feel stuck in a rut if I kept my hair one way and never tried anything new...think Queen Elizabeth II with the same hair style since the 50's. For me personally I hated the feeling of very long hair. It felt like it was literally dragging me down and was shapeless. I will try any makeup. I basically just stick to if I do a bold lip say I won't also do bold cheeks and eyes because I wind up looking try hard or like I'm trying out for Rocky Horror Picture Show.

I thought it was such a brave purchase but it turned out to be a trip down memory lane, since the shade reminds me very much of a purple Nouba lipgloss I wore as a teenager.
