I think one harmonica player per household is approximately the right number, and we already have hit our quota.

To Do: mull cider? Mull wine? Make mead?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

Mulled cider. Mulled wine. Mmmmmm, mull. I have a tin of mulling spices Heathah gave me last year, and I used some of it then, and it was good then. Only in cider, though, not in wine. I don't think I've ever had mulled wine. I maybe should.

I know I've never had mead, and I think making it is a big step to start with. Maybe drinking mead once would be a better first step.

Book: Gaudy Night, Dorothy L. Sayers
Music: Adam's Apple, John Wesley Harding
LJ USer: I'm quite fond of ezrael
To do: Rake leaves into a giant pile and then jump in the pile :)

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I've read all the Lord Peter books, but rereading Gaudy Night might not be a bad idea.

I'm afraid we are required to rake leaves into a giant pile. Or several giant piles. The jumping, however, is optional. blzblack tried to tell me that we should just leave the leaves on the yard, but blzblack does not comprehend the magnitude of leafage involved.

[apis-mellifera.livejournal.com]

Too many leaves for a mulching mower to handle, then?

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

And how.

Most of our backyard is wooded. Most of our neighbors have similar situations. So while our front yard has only one tree (which is going going going), it ends up with a thick carpet of leaves, too.

This is my price for living at home. I like raking anyway and will pay it gladly. Also, we have a leaf sucker/blower for when things are really bad.

Re: to do list:

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I don't know that there is mushroom hunting here, Aet. Certainly not widespread mushroom hunting.

It's a TV show technically, but available on DVD anyway: Coupling. The British version. It's quite funny.

Definitely not The DaVinci Code....

Dropkick Murphys. It's like punk, but with bagpipes. What's not to like? (free downloads available at Amazon.com)

All of the LJ users I know are either already on your friends list, or you know who they are already.

Take one extra day off sometime in the next two months. Not due to illness (of yourself or others), either.

[mrissa.livejournal.com]

I am required to take an extra day off when I finish the book. Which should be in the next two or three weeks, never mind the next two months.

[scottjames.livejournal.com]

Well, if you already have it scheduled, then that doesn't count, either. Just one extra day in the next two months.
