Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

And NOW I'm going to bed! 

Have a good (and nice and cool) day, all!

This is the temperature up in my bedroom just a few minutes ago:

I read that as one hundred ninety two.

Where are you sleeping tonight?

I have a craving for ginger ice cream but I'd settle for peppermint ice cream.

A Craving for Ginger - isn't that the name of something?

It's one if "those" kinds of fan fiction written from the perspective of Mary Ann. ;)

Here in my loft bedroom.  I've found that, even though it's quite warm, I'm comfortable enough if I sleep on top of my covers.  I have a fan in the room below blowing up and over me.  It's cooling enough to make it bearable.

Watching The Drowning Pool. A very young Melanie Griffith. Joanne Woodward at her best and a great Paul Newman.

Another good ALA day.  I attended an interesting program about Zooniverse.com, then finished the exhibit hall.  Had time for a fruit and yogurt parfait before meeting my friend Sue to hear a speech by Ron Chernow, author of the biography that inspired HAMILTON.  He's now promoting his forthcoming biography of Ulysses S. Grant.  Wonder if we'll get "Grant-The Musical."

Back from a very good first run-through and a not-so-good second run-through - everyone was flubbing and fumfering like crazy - no one seems to be used to doing two-show days anymore and what that requires.

For dinner this evening, Richard and I went to Giordano's for deep-dish pizza.  Anybody want some leftovers?

Michael Small's main theme for The Drowning Pool sounds an awful lot like Killing Me Softly.

And so the end credits cite Killing Me Softly.

I often use a fan in addition to the AC. The cool air from the AC just doesn't get to all the right places. Or isn't cool enough.

Fortunately Craig's List turned up a handyman who was able to come today and put things right

Sorry about the roof, but I'm impressed that you found someone who'd come out on a Sunday and at a reasonable price. I hope he can help you again sometime.

Jane, is there a Kohl's near you? Like George, I bought my bed pillow there. It's high-quality foam, with cervical support, and wasn't even expensive. They have lots online, but it'd be better if you could see it, feel it, give it a 5-second test. they're good about returns, also. Tuesdays used to be senior discount day. don't know if it still is.

I wasn't actually thinking of getting a new pillow until you mentioned Norm's making foam pillows.  I like the idea of having one made to fit me.  I like the pillows I have.  One is extra soft for when I have a migraine.  I have used it too much lately and now it doesn't seem to work.

Kohl's isn't convenient.  I looked on their website and the foam pillows seem to be memory or gel foam.  Which one did you buy.  I would just like an old fashioned foam pillow which I don't think anyone makes anymore.

These days memory foam is all the rage. My pillow is foam, but I don't know if it's memory foam. It's a cervical pillow, which I need, and provides good support without being too hard. Prior to it I had a cervical egg crate pillow, which I loved. I have an egg crate pillow against my back right now. It's one of the foam samples I brought home. I'd forgotten how comfortable it can be.

Keith as a variety of memory foam pillows.  I have never found one I like.  He also has had a crate style pillow.  His favorite sleeping pillow is a cervical memory foam.  So far those have all been too big for me,
