gwynnega: (books poisoninjest)
From [personal profile] rushthatspeaks, the International Book Week Meme. The fifth sentence on page 52 of the book closest to me, sans context: "People are complicated."

(Oh, okay...it's from Code Name Verity.)

I hadn't expected to get to see the Endeavour's flyover today. I was making scrambled eggs with kale, leeks and heirloom tomato when I heard a loud plane flying overhead, so I grabbed my keys and ran outside, but didn't see anything. I turned on the TV, and a few minutes later it said the space shuttle was flying over Griffith Park, which is near my apartment, so I once again ran outside--and saw the Endeavour slowly flying by atop a 747, flanked by fighter jets. It was pretty thrilling.

Then a few minutes later I heard the airplane noise again and looked out my window, and there was the Endeavour again! I wish I'd managed to take a photo (but pretty much everybody else in LA did).
