Friday, is progressing miraculously
Body: I actually feel pretty good today.
Stress Level: 1
Book Review: I finished Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner
last night. Very good book! Picture a collaberation between Jane Austen and Alexandre Dumas, with a very modern attitude towards relationships and sexuality, and you sort of have this story. Sword fights, romance, and politics in a comedy of manners. The only thing I didn't really care for was that sometimes the "manners" part made the rest of it feel a little cold-blooded. Rating: 8 out of 10. Not yet loanable through the Kindle.
Reading: I started The Crazy Years by Spider Robinson
last night. I finished the free sample chapters last night, bought the entire book once I got to work, and will download it to my Kindle tonight.
Hearing: Music - at this moment, Howlin' Wolf's original recording of "Spoonful." I do not have anywhere near enough of his work.
Etsy Find: I can't pick just one of her products -Latherati Soap makes literary themed bath and body products.
Project Follow-up: The dentist said my teeth look fine, except for some chipping on the seal on an old filling. It's not super high priority, so I'll have it fixed at my next regular appointment 6 months from now.
Tonight's Project: I need to drop my car off to have repairs done. I'm not sure how much of an evening I'll have left after doing that.
Randomness: I'm so tired of snow. Can somebody teleport me to someplace warm?
