We could be responsible—anything is possible

1. We have a bed! Or at least we will have a bed once the futon frame we ordered this afternoon arrives as it is expected to do next weekend! I am so looking forward to my back not hurting every morning!

2. [personal profile] yhlee sent me an amazing handmade-looking CD in a painted cardboard case. It's called The Sonic Arcana, subtitled Music Written for the Cheimonette Tarot, which I had never heard of, but it looks pretty great. Musicians I recognize include Jill Tracy and Meredith Yayanos. I am enjoying it tremendously so far.

(Did I mention that [livejournal.com profile] selidor sent me a postcard from Iceland this month? With a picture of an old map and a story of visiting Þingvellir.)

3. On our way home from ordering the bed, [livejournal.com profile] derspatchel and I passed the racks of dollar books outside the Harvard Book Store and stopped to browse, as is the norm. Why, yes, rack of dollar books, I would like an attractive paperback reprint of Patrick Leigh Fermor's A Time of Gifts (1977) with introduction by Jan Morris and M. John Harrison's A Storm of Wings (1980) in a completely battered ex-library edition dedicated to Harlan Ellison, thank you.

So all of that's good.
