not technically sick anymore. i think. just a little runny nose.

we're watching the old charlotte's web, and it's really not that good.

we went to the bookstore yesterday (yay!) because i've read almost everything that's lying around our house and i need something to look at besides the terrifying pages of pregnancy guide that convince you that you have every horrible problem and medical calamity on the list.

So...here's what we picked up:
Jesus Land
Gravity's Rainbow
A Supposedly Fun Thing I'll Never Do Again
The Other Boleyn Girl
House of Leaves

All books for grownups! This is surprising.

We just watched season one of the Tudors, and I guess I got nostalgic for the subject matter without actually challenging myself with the academics of the thing. I gotta say it's been fun to sit on the couch and go "That happened. That didn't. That guy became Elizabeth's Archbishop of Canterbury and that guy got burned at the stake by Mary." And even Brandon got a little charge of insider glee when Cardinal Wolsey said he needed to make a pilgrimage to Walsingham.

It's made me realize, though, that we need to get back to England. There's so much we didn't see! Like Walsingham, for starters.
