| Down the Shore |
[Aug. 19th, 2007|10:45 pm] |
Spend the first part of the week down the Jersey shore in Stone Harbor, near Cape May. My parents rented a place that slept 8, so there were a lot of comings and goings. Alex and I visited from Saturday until Wednesday. Spent most of that time lounging around, reading the new Jasper Fforde novel, Thursday Next. It doesn't have much of a plot, but Fforde still throws in plenty of good jokes and running gags. Good shore read. It didn't come to the beach with me, of course, because it is a brand new library book. I've seen what happens to library books that spend time on the beach; I've seen them beaten up by sand, and thrown out ones that didn't see the high tide coming on. I took one of my old books (Oliver Twist) to the water's edge instead.
Friday night I went to a birthday party at DMs apartment. Everyone DM invited invited another friend in turn, of course, which led to a very tight party. But it was a nice mix of cool people, from theoretical physicists to reality-tv would-be stars to med students (and one librarian.) Definitely a fun night. |
