In the same game, now why'd you have to go
Have to go and throw it all in my flame

Late Night Ramblings

I was Watcher of the Wee One the last few nights so this is the latest I've been up in DAYS! I could have gotten back on my computer after he drifted to sleep (at 9pm) but decided I would be the one up with him at the crack o' dawn so I should be getting as much sleep as he was. Even still, it was difficult not wanting to nap during the day. As much as I will miss him staring at me until I wake up or, in the case of this morning, his tiny little foot hitting me repeatedly in the shoulder, I think I will enjoy sleeping by myself again. I love my nephew but I love giving him back!

Have you seen/heard/read Joss Whedon's commencement address this year at Wesleyan University? So funny! And true! More true than funny, actually.

When one is working toward several goals at once and one stays up late to achieve at least part of them, one should remember to look at the clock AND the calendar in combination so that one does not think that TODAY (Monday) was the 28th which makes tomorrow (Tuesday) the 29th. This makes one have to hyperventilate to think that there is very little time is left to work. But one is now happy again when one realized that today is TUESDAY now and there is still time to finish working on the challenge.

Missing

That I collect books is a given. If I could live in a room constructed entirely of books, I would be so happy.

It's not just a blind collection, though. In and among my legions of books, I have several collections. I collect different editions of Little Women, the first book I could call my own (it was a gift) and the one that first inspired me to try writing my own stories. So far, I have about six editions, including one bound with Little Men. I'm working on getting all the Trixie Belden books. I have some original editions, some mass production editions from when I was young (and first read them) and some of the new bindings they came out with a few years ago.

But I'm most enamored by my collection of Madeleine Brent books. I started reading these only a few years after the last one came out. In fact, Golden Urchin was one of the first paperbacks I bought with my own money. I've been trying to find decently priced hardback first editions (it's weird to call them "first editions" when they came out in the early 80s) and I thought I had them all. THOUGHT. Today, I went looking to see if there was any audiobooks (sadly, no) which led me back to Amazon where I discovered that there is one of the collection that I don't own! I know that I read Heritage of Shadows because I read through them in the library one summer, but I don't own it. How sad!

Now I have a mission. Find a copy of the book.

And forever, I will try to find another author who can write a Gothic Romance like Madeleine/Peter.
