Sometimes life is just... Weird. I go to

Sometimes life is just... Weird. I go to put on my work trousers and find in the pocket (or what passes for that these days) a battery pack like what you see on cell phones and digital cameras. I checked - both my phone and my backup have theirs, and I haven't touched d my camera in over a year.

I have no clue what it came from or how it got there. I've learned to stop questioning stuff like this, though. It's just my life.

scfrankles tagged me with the letter "B." Fitting. :-)

Something I hate: Boredom. If the "B" isn't cliched among Sherlockians, complaining of boredom, but if I don't have something to occupy my mind, it can get physically painful.

Something I love: I like big books, and I cannot lie. Also: Brahms, bagels, birdwatching, big band, and Belgian chocolate.

Somewhere I've been: Britain heads the list. I've been to Berlin but it's hardly my favorite part of that country (Munich tops the list). I have a strange, almost inexplicable fondness for Baltimore - I've loved it every time I visited. Bern was nice, as was Boston, though I must confess I've never been there in the fall.

(ETA: I now have it on good authority that I've not really seen Berlin, at least as it needs to be seen. So there's that.)

Somewhere I'd like to go: Bree. What, that's not an option?

Fine then: Beijing. It's just so different, I'd love to poke around some of the Buddhist temples.

Someone I know: Branwyn (lady_branwyn), who I met up with more than once when we lived in the same city a while aback - a lovely woman with a real sense of humor and just a delight to spend time with. Also dreamflower02, one of the kindest and most devoted members of the Tolkien fandom I've been privileged to know over the years.

A film I liked: Bell, Book and Candle. What can I say? I like old things.

Let me know if anyone would like a letter of their own.
