listen to the rhythm of the fallin' rain

Well, it started raining last night at around midnight (just after I finished watching The Hunt for Red October, such a good film) and it hasn't stopped since. I went out briefly to go to the public library and it's the kind of rain that you don't bother with an umbrella for, it'll just get turned inside out. I swear, the rain in Wales defies all manner of gravitational properties, it can maneuver its way inside your jacket.

BUT! I was successful at the library and have beside me a cup of tea, Agatha Christie's The Secret of Chimneys (thanks for the rec, [livejournal.com profile] silveronthetree!), a book of short stories by Charles deLint (which I think I'm saving for the train this week) and Stephanie Laurens' The Untamed Bride 'cause I'm always up for a little Regency romance. I haven't tried her yet, so we'll see.

I'm also wearing, get ready for it--jeggings. Seriously. I bought a pair to see what all the fuss was about and do you know they're rather comfy? I'm not thin by any stretch of the imagination, but they do rather nice shaping-things to my butt. Who knew? My only quibble is the fact that I couldn't find them in petites so they go halfway down my foot. Oh, well, keeps them warm!

Also, check out this site! I want the Pride and Prejudice sweatshirt and the Hound of the Baskervilles t-shirt. And all of the others, to be honest.

How is everybody else?

Happy Saturday!

Happy Saturday! You forgot to mention that for every T-shirt you purchase, they donate a book to an under-served community.

I have my eye on the Flashdance/Pride and Prejudice fleece, although I have the feeling even the extra-large would be too small.

I know! It's an amazing idea and site. I'm really impressed with them. I may have to order something and they ship internationally, so Yay!
