Fun scene with Zulaikh. Had me giggling.

Good book, part of the evening, too.

Don't know how much I'll be where tomorrow; Thanksgiving dinner with Scott's aunt & uncle and their family.

For now, I'm going to go collapse. Sleep is good.

Nightmares last night. Weird; I don't usually have nightmares. Oh well. Feel good enough today.

Couple hours till we head up for Thanksgiving dinner...our internet connection was out when we got up this morning, how annoying. Some sort of problem between the phone company and our ISP, lucky us. Gah. Didn't get it back till around 11 but it seems fine now.

I stole Scott's computer and spent the time in question playing spider solitaire, and pinball. Whee. What a life.

I have three SF/F anthologies open next to my chair right now. I'm reading from whichever one I happen to grab next, though Alien Pets has not been grabbed since That Awful Story. I'm sure I'll go back to it when my other options run out...probably....

Happy Thanksgiving, to those who celebrate it.

We went up to have dinner with Scott's aunt and uncle and their family, he and I and Rob. We played card games. The turkey was done early, so we didn't watch sports (YAY!), We had an absolutely delicious dinner, very traditional Thanksgiving.

At the end, was pie: pumpkin, or pecan. I was already stuffed and had neither, but Scott had pumpkin so I asked (before it was brought) whether I could have a bite of his. He said sure.

It arrived, with whipped cream and ice cream, and I snagged a small bite off the tip with whipped cream and enjoyed. Halfway through, I snagged a forkful of his ice cream. He finished it, asked for another piece. When it arrived, he held it in the air in one hand whilst moving the first plate with the other. I snagged a big forkful of the new pie while it was in midair, moving slowly so he could nay-say if he wanted. Went from having a sharply-pointed tip to one that was maybe 1-2 centimeters across.

Halfway through that piece, he asked if I still wanted my bite. He'd managed to miss seeing all of these, apparently. The others had not, and were greatly amused.

Very good pie, too.

We played cards for a bit more and then headed home - this was just about perfect, and I had a wonderful time.
