The greatest of all the wood-people, Pomona herself

[sovay]

Happiness is a duck in the oven and a glaze of quinces and cider simmering on the stove. In one of its forms, anyway. Another is new books—papersky's Ha'penny, desperance's Shelter, Ben Parzybok's Couch, Growing Back: Poems 1972—1992 by Rika Lesser. Yet another is lesser_celery, in person, talking about Tom Stoppard and beef stock and dirty bombs. Music I haven't heard yet. An enameled plaque of squid. My brother, dozing. TCM appears to be playing film noir for Christmas, of which I totally approve. Tomorrow, the Museum of Science; first, I must attend to the duck.

Books: sound very cool! (Well, of course I KNOW Duffy's cool, having been introduced to it way back when it was still fairly new, but.)

I'm very pleased, yes.

I've kept reading references to Duffy--it seems as if it was about time to actually read him. Now to see how much I can get read before classes start up again and I'm too swamped to read anything that's not either Irish studies or mindless entertainment.

You could pretend that Duffy counts as Irish Studies...
