7/5/07 11:16I'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!
