Last month while I was Christmas shopping on Amazon.com (buying an external hard drive to back up my photos and other files on my home computer) I decided to take advantage of their 4-for-3 paperback deal to check out some urban fantasies that my library doesn't carry. I finally got around to looking at the first in the Kitty series by Carrie Vaughn last night and, much to my surprise, who was thanked in the first few lines of the Acknowledgements but my cousin Yaz Ostrowski who just joined Facebook a few days ago. So after years of not really knowing what she's been up to I see her name in a book and connect with her online. Very cool.

I slept through the inauguration festivities yesterday morning and then was too busy at work to check out anything online until I got home. I watched my boyfriend Anderson Cooper on AC360 but by that time it was mostly ball coverage which wasn't that interesting. After Mom had mentioned CSPAN I looked to see if they were replaying anything so got to see some of the parade. That was a lot of bands! I recorded the speech so I'll be watching that tonight.

I have to mention this for Joanna: I saw a young man in a kilt on BART yesterday. He happened to be getting off at the same station I was so I followed him for a few yards until our paths diverged. He was wearing a sporran and tall whitish socks but had no bonnet or bagpipe that I could see.
