My belovedu is working in the same city as me. Is nice to have him next to me when I go to bed, except for how we are inclined to chat instead of going to sleep like sensible people. Also, his presense is disturbing to me in the morning.
I tend to semi-wake up and go right back to sleep in the morning (I looove the snooze button, but Beau doesn't, so trying not to use so much) and I enjoy this, it eases me into wakefullness and I have the dreams. However the last couple of mornings I've not been able to easily go back to sleep. Beau is all there... moving and breathing and stuff. It might actually not be his fault at all, it has also been *really* warm in our room and apartment. Bring on Summer!!
Yesterday we went on a walk after dinner. We both really enjoy doing this as when walking we will actually *talk*. When blobbing around the house we talk, but it's about stuff we need to buy, or chores that need doing, or tv we want to watch. We walking we are more likely to have deep and meaningfuls, like what we want out of next year, where we might have to live, whether we want to buy a house, work options. We have less of the regular and small distractions while we are out walking.
Beau and I will also try and watch TV shows together. However, we are very bad at this. Because we often work different hours to one another, we will tend to watch TV on our own while the other is out at work. This means we can get out of sync on TV. There are 3 different shows we are currently watching together, Californication, Pushing Daisies and Dexter. All american shows right now. Hmm.
I recently followed a link from Morgue's blog to Cory Doctorow's book, Little Brother. Little Brother is a novel about a teenage boy who fights for freedom, sort of. It's also a teen coming of age novel and a novel about how technology is being used to watch and control us. It is seriously good and it is free to download in a variety of formats. Cory has a whole big speel about why he is cool about having his books up for free downloading ("Giving away ebooks gives me artistic, moral and commercial satisfaction...."). Basically he is awesome and totally prevented me from getting an early night on Friday, because I wanted to read the book til the end. I also want to buy it. Will resist until I have a slightly more permanent home though. Also, for those of you active in the blogosphere, he is the co-editor of Boing Boing!
Now to round up my blog with links to games I have been playing!
This is another orsinal game, Chicken Wings are Not for Flying! Save the silly chickens who will try to fly by throwing them umbrellas!
This is one from the cooking games Zeph linked me to. Cooking Fish involves you making a takeaway pastry type thing in the shape of a fish. You want to make them as perfect as possible so that your customers are satisfied. The other cooking game I like is the one where you make Takoyaki :)
They are all silly and basic and fun :)
I need to read more books and do less point/click games though, as I will get OOS!
