  1. Just saw Howard's End again. I'd forgotten what a good movie it is.
  2. My cat peed on my sax case. She either mistook it for a litter box or the critic's corner.
  3. I never knew there was a rule to sort out the -ible vs. -able spelling problem. This makes sense: spelling.hemscott.net/ends8.html
  4. But I'd appreciate it if the protesters would keep the noise down...
  5. People point out low university tuition in Quebec as a reason students shouldn't protest. I think low-cost education is worth the fight.
  6. Useful post by @JodieRennerEd POV 102: How to Avoid Head-Hopping - writersforensicsblog.wordpress.com/2012/05/23/gue…
  7. Evidently Canada Post just didn't deliver any mail to my building this week. Postman went AWOL. Hoping my mail wasn't thrown in a dumpster.
  8. The wrong Carlos: how Texas sent an innocent man to his death gu.com/p/37txz/tw via @guardian
  9. @indiaknight Paul Auster is middlebrow? My brow meter is off.
  10. Best laugh of the day: Kobo's suggestion that I buy Fifty Shades of Grey for my mom.
  11. RT @CarinaPress What Do You Read Before You Sleep? bit.ly/IbVQPh
  12. I have lost my copy of Miss Mole by EH Young. What happened to it? I'm having a difficult time functioning without it.
  13. Sad. Jonathan Frid, Canadian star of 'Dark Shadows' gothic series, dies at 87 - via @winnipegnews shar.es/rKjEP
  14. Morning chuckle, from a reader review of Game of Thrones: "There was not enough going on to hold my interest."
  15. Link for Earnest: audible.com/pd?asin=B007PE…
  16. The Importance of Being Earnest is free for @audible_com members. Always a good way to spend two hours!
