So today I managed to find enough energy to drag myself to the library, where I did my usual rounds in the various sections, and I realized as I was checking out that the people who work there all seem to think I'm at least partially responsible for the upbringing of more than one child. It's understandable, considering I frequently check out books from the easy reader, juvenile, and young adults sections. The guy at the checkout desk today seemed so nostalgic for kids when they're "that age" (whatever age he was thinking of at the time) that I didn't have the heart to tell him that all the storybooks I check out are for my 37-year-old self and all poetry books are for my favorite AI. I do hope they think I'm a parent or guardian of these imaginary children, though with my grey hair (and let's not discuss the increasingly dry skin) some of them may think I'm a grandma. ::sigh::

With combined trips to various places, I got about 2.5 miles of walking in, of which about 2 miles was probably a bad idea. I don't feel as sick as I was afraid I might feel, but I do feel the kind of weariness which suggests that my immune system is not entirely happy with its place in the world and may seek to take revenge upon me in the very near future. All I can say is that I hope it has the decency to wait till I've got some kind of medical benefits again before it lets the microbes run rampant.

Well, at least on one of my ill-advised trips outside I picked up some cheese and frozen corn so I could have cheesy corn fritters for lunch. Mmm... corn fritters. I wish I'd been up for Stitch & Bitch tonight, though. As nice as it was to have corn fritters, I bet the company & the spaghetti would've been better. But since traveling that far this worn out would have been a bad idea, I ended up watching tonight's Smallville and Supernatural instead. I've really gotten to like both shows this season--not enough to prefer watching them to going to see people if I have the choice, but they do keep me sufficiently interested and entertained to tune in when I happen to be home. And I even care about SPN enough to want synopses of episodes I happen to miss, so that's one I'd probably tape if I had a VCR.

Right then. It's nearly midnight and my body is telling me that it was a very bad idea to exert myself so much today, so I should go to bed now and hope I make it till morning without anything going haywire. May all my imaginary children sleep peacefully through the night.

the justice league rocked the house. much talk of slashy implications of some line readings. lex is looking puffy but admirably bad-ass. the green arrow is the prettiest thing around. haven't watched SPN, but i hear rumors of slashy line readings there too. life is good.

I'll miss the Green Arrow. He & Lois were a good couple, except for the whole Big Secret getting in the way. Poor Lois. But wasn't it nice to have an entire Lana-free episode?

SPN was definitely one for the slash-loving fangirls last night! Some good creepiness in the ep too along with the humor, really a good episode but oddly-paced at times.

oh really, the show without lana would be a BETTER SHOW. she brings out the worst in lex, as she does in most everyone else. bleh.

i hope to have time to watch the SPN today, but if not, maybe sunday.
