you were only waiting

Real Life Update: living in a good house (with air conditioning!), raking in the dough waitressing (I walked with $150 tonight, not half bad for five hours' work on a Wednesday). I'm within very easy biking distance from the beach, and I've already been in several times. I missed my big water like crazy. Tomorrow I'm going to the bookshop for a complete works of Carl Sandburg. Right now I'm reading Dorothy Dunnett's Lymond Chronicles, which are very fun and Scottish.

The boy and I have also been mainlining House MD - two seasons in as many weeks. So I've been muchly with the reading of the House/Wilson. I have kind of a Robert Sean Leonard thing - after he's played the theater geek in Dead Poets' Society and starred in my favorite filmed Shakespeare to date, ie Much Ado About Nothing, how can I not have a thing for the guy? It's the pretty hair, in combination with the lovely mouth. Hugh Laurie is obviously god, so I don't feel bad for neglecting his pretty blue eyes for Wilson's mouth. He'll get over it.

If anyone has any House/Wilson that I absolutely must read, be pleased to let me know. This is the best part of picking up new fandoms - the honeymoon stage, where you get to dive down through years worth of brilliant fannish work.

So good hearing from you! I'm glad you and the Boy are doing well. The local beach spots here on Lake Ontario are open for swimming this summer and the local joke is always how many times they'll be closed because of "unsafe swimming condition."

I can't watch House. I've tried but I can't. I always want to beat the shit out of House after 5 seconds (House, not Hugh Laurie, because Laruie's great).

See, my daddy pretty much *is* House, and I love him to death, so I'm used to it.

Is Lake Ontario warm enough for swimming this time of the year?

[amelia-petkova.livejournal.com]

Probably, depending on where you are. It's must be warm enough here, because people have been jumping in for a while...though that was when we had the 95-degree heat wave. (Yikes!) You want cold water, go to Buttermilk Falls in the Watkins Glen area (Finger Lakes area). It's this fantastic waterfall with a natural pool at the bottom you can swim in--except the water's about 50 degrees in July.

Swimming in giant lakes is FUN. Hope you're well.

'Tis I! My comments had backlogged on the e-mail I don't check and I'm only just now getting around. My summer is just as busy as my school year, grr-argh. On the other hand, the reason for my insane busyness is AWESOMENESS, so that's okay.

I get to swim a lot, and run around in the sun, and get paid for it, so that's cool.

How're you doing?
