my ten favorite authors for comfort reading

in no particular order

+lois mcmaster bujold (the vorkosigan saga)

+roger zelazny (the amber 'trilogy,' any short story, a night in the lonesome october, bring me the head of prince charming)
+samuel r. delany (the weirder the better)
+diana wynne jones (archer's goon, the sudden, wild magic universe, the chrestomanci chronicles)
+patricia c. wrede (the enchanted forest chronicles, sorcery and cecilia)
+connie willis (most anything, the earlier the better)

daaaave capistani, i hardly know him.

i met with the insurance woman, her lawyer, our lawyer, the architect, and the architect's assistant today with mom and dad. i put on scary eye makeup and dressy clothes and tried to help mom and be assertive, but i'm not sure that part really worked out. anyway, as i suspected, tammy sasser, the insurance adjustor/total bitch, is a white trash smoker with cakes of poorly-applied makeup, bad clothes, a bad dye job, and too many cheap styling products. i've never seen such stupid eye makeup before in my life. and she smells. i wish the cat had pissed on her shoe. the architect is also an asshole, although his assistant was cute. you could write a ficlet about lucius malfoy's personal secretary with them as a model.

i napped the afternoon away, yet i'm incredibly tired. my phone time isn't free for another half hour and i'm afraid i won't be awake to call [livejournal.com profile] hollsk.

i want a new computer.

my mother is far far more depressed than i realized. last week i was against family counseling; now i'm pushing dad to ask for it.

daddy offered plane tickets for christmas, [livejournal.com profile] wax_jism.
