It's so not just a scratch.

The day started off well. I woke up and remembered to call my father to wish him a happy Father's Day. I tidied up a bit around the house ... not as much as it needs, but better than doing nothing.

Then I was putting one of my large Pyrex bowls away, and it hit another bowl, and I heard clinking as some of it apparently broke off onto the kitchen floor. I thought I picked up all of the pieces but ... I would soon be proven very wrong.

To make myself feel better, I started reading Can You Keep a Secret? by Sophie Kinsella (author of the Shopaholic books, which I still haven't read), and ended up gorging the whole thing -- I just could not put it down. It was most excellent, exactly what I needed/expected from the book -- fun chick lit with some t00by romance. And I liked the heroine. The hero was so Ron Livingston. They ought to make this into a romcom.

Speaking of romcoms ... I saw Chasing Liberty yesterday, and really, really liked it. All right, I like Mandy Moore. But this Matthew Goode person was completely unexpected. Ohmygawd hot. Deep voice, British accent. YUM. And while the story was of course silly (she's the First Daughter, he's a Secret Service agent tasked with protecting her, though she doesn't know it...), something really worked. I think his initials were MG. :D
