You know you're brilliant when Colbert calls your name.

And if that's not enough!!!!
The Talisman Ring was the first Heyer book I ever read. Absolutely incredible how little of it I really remember - I am pleased beyond expression to find all her books coming back into print with pretty covers and stuff. Makes them look almost respectable. For those of you who don't know, Georgette was my guilty pleasure all through high school. I made up for it with things like this, of course. But I defy you to read the first chapter of any one of her quaint little romances and not find yourself chuckling and giggling like a lunatic.

This was my favorite.

    Omg, that Colbert report was hilarious. I heard the part about the book, but I liked the part about Al Gore best at the end. Classic, Molly.

Kathryn, do NOT be jealous of me going to the opera. It was weird.

They were all skillful - I just wasn't interested in the piece itself. But then, I have only ever seen very classical sorts of pieces. The Marriage of Figaro. Samson and Delilah. And I was listening to Puccini before leaving the house! What do you do? But then again, I was distracted by my seating companion. Five so

Dear Nathaniel, I am microwaving pie that Mom bought up in Oak Glen this week on her way home from the orthodontist. As I put it in the microwave, I was full of sadness that I was not in Oak Glen with her. Why did I not go? I was working. I want to see the trees turn. I want to wander slowly through autumnal gift shops. Under the water, you cannot sense the approach of the seasons. Even here it is difficult because, after all, it's California. But I can still sense it. After three seasons in Illinois and one in Scotland, it must be with me for good. Or at least for a while. Because I am all abuzz with eagerness for fall and winter, for turkeys and dried leaves and Santa. I should start cooking again this fall. Fall foods are my favorite. Baked squash dripping with melted butter and brown sugar, pumpkin soup... this year, if I have enough money, I will put together a holiday dinner for my friends. And we will drink Scandinavian mulled wine, which is the most wonderful thing I have e
