jennythereaderBody: I woke up this morning with a God-awful backache, but it seems to have improved by now.
Reading: In the Devil's Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692 by Mary Beth Norton. I'm only a little more than a chapter in, but so far it's pretty interesting. The author is looking at the Salem Witch trials in the context of everything else that was going on in the Massachusetts colonies at the time.
Book Review: I finished The Vizier of the Two-Horned Alexander, by Frank Stockton, the man who wrote "The Lady and the Tiger." It's the story of a man who claims to have lived since the time of Abraham, and he's telling his history to his current wife and a friend. It was pretty good, but I'm glad that the download was free.
Hearing: BBC History Magazine podcast
Wearing: Today's perfume is Eat Me!, from BPAL's Mad Tea Party line. All the perfumes in that line are inspired by characters and situations in Alice In Wonderland. Eat Me! itself is inspired by the little cake that makes Alice change sizes. It's a wonderful fruity vanilla, and one of my favorites.
Tonight's Project: Repeat: I have to get those Swap-bot projects done tonight. One is overdue, and the others are due Saturday.
Project Follow-up: I got the bills mailed, but did nothing else.
Randomness: If you have a wish list (on Amazon, or somewhere else), link me! You can also send me the link as a PM or email. I'll probably get you something someday. No promises about when though.
