I'm not sure what it says about me that not posting for three whole days feels so WRONG and INEXPLICABLE, but it really does. So, um, hi there!

I got a lot of reading done this past week -- I finished Kushiel's Scion by Jacqueline Carey, which I'd been nursing alng for a few weeks; it was long and rich and absorbing, just like the first three, and I'm a sucker for historical fantasy, even if everyone *is* inhumanly beautiful and the sex is weird. I also got through Magic Lessons by Justine Larbalestier and The Mislaid Magician by Patricia Wrede and Caroline Stevermer. They were both really good and exactly what I needed to read this weekend, so yay! Quality YA fantasy series for the win.

Next up: more Julia Quinn romance novels. Totally anachronistic voice yet incredibly charming and funny and likable characters = heart.

Last night speshope and I went to see Spider-man 3, which, yeah, not a great movie -- it was episodic, unfocused, overstuffed -- but there were fun moments within it. As I told Spes afterwards, my favorite part was Peter Parker's EVIL EMO HAIR and my least favorite was random posing in front of the American flag, seriously WTF?. The ending made me sad, too, just because there was so much POTENTIAL there if Harry hadn't died! Seriously, that entire last fight was the set up to the most OT3 thing ever, you know?

Spes also took me grocery shopping last night, which I desperately needed. I have FOOD now! It's so exciting! It was my first time shopping at Trader Joe's, too, so I was pleasantly surprised by how cheap yet cool and enticing everything was.

Today is Monday. That means it is HEROES NIGHT. Yay!

YES. and like i've said elsewhere, even my non-fannish cohorts were seeing the LOVE. TEXT TEXT TEXT.

Man, SERIOUSLY. When we were talking about it, spes was like "there's no way they COULDN'T have gone to the threesome place afterwards."

I love Julia Quinn novels. I think Romancing Mr. Bridgerton might be one of my favorite books of all time.

They're just all so CHARMING. I know I already used that word in the entry, but ... it's true! I don't know how else to explain them.

oh, trader joe's. they are mostly good. they were a big part of my childhood, and then they weren't in oly, so it's weird to have them back. and yeah, prices are crazy!

mmm, groceries!

PEARL, I uploaded about a million userpics and now my life is so exciting! Also it is sunny and pretty out and I am wearing boy's shorts and sneakers and basically being almost too dykey to breathe, and it is AWESOME.

also - did you like the first book by Larbalestier? I heard good things about it, but am not letting myself buy any more books until I get back from camp.

BASICALLY I LOVE YOU. HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES?

THIRD TIME IS THE CHARM

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I *loved* the first book by Larbalestier -- it's one of the best YA books I've read in a long time. The third book in the trilogy is on the top of my to-read list right now, seriously.

(Plus, her blog (http://www.justinelarbalestier.com/blog/)? SUPER awesome. I keep randomly quoting great things at fox1013 all the time.)

YAY FOR SUNNY DYKEY HIJINKS! *twirls you*

I like those apples VERY MUCH INDEED.
