Saturday...

A long day, a busy day, a good day. Didn't get to do the reading and writing I'd hoped. Breakfasted at Ikea with maasboroshi and maaseru; bought a small table and a throw rug and some zippered CD holders. I'd wanted to buy the Bueno shelving to hold CDs and DVDs, but they were too big to fit in maaseru's small rental car.

I went to The Comic Book Shoppe and got Black Canary Wedding Planner for Pat. I went to the Silver Snail and got my own comics. Walked home - tired and with aching legs and feet, for not obvious reason - did some housework and made peanut butter cookies. Then Beulah came over and we went to dinner at The Green Door, then watched the first half of Kenneth Branagh's Hamlet at my place. I love that movie. The actors in it are so good, and such fun to see - I'd forgotten about Charleton Heston being in it. And Michael Mzloney, whom I loved so much in A Midwinter's Tale. And Derek Jocobi, being excellent as Claudius - I'd forgotten how I liked his interpretation there.

Then went to the APA collation at Sheila's. A good time was had by all.

Except that I had accidentally printed an early draft of my zine - not the finished copy. The last six pages (not to mention all the proofreading and corections) were missing. Bummer.

Good day, though. Delightful. Just overly busy.

My mother used to read Winnie the Pooh to me before I could read, and it was my favourite book as a preschooler - I'm sure she was very patient, reading it over and over. Including When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. I can still recite many of the poems in it.

Since it has been translated into many languages, it's one of the books I make a point of getting and reading in languages I am interested in - Latin, Esperanto, French - I even have a German translation of it somewhere. Though my German isn't nearly good enough to understand it.
