Home from work todays as I felt no better when I woke up than when I went to sleep. I am somewhat accustomed to healing overnight, so figured I'd better have some time out and take care of myself.
So far it's going swimmingly.
I am reading Mad Maudlin which is a Mercedes Lackey book in the Bedlam's Bard series. It's based around the mythos the streetkids in Miami made up. Except it's set in post 9/11 New York. Ah well. I'm reading it because I like Mercedes Lackey (although I find her a bit longwinded lately,) and because tonight Seraph is going to start a new game of Nobilis based around this very same premise. It's already giving me good ideas and I'm only about 100 pages through it.
100 pages. I am so used to reading kid's books, that would normally be half or a third of the way through.... Finished one this morning called Drop Dead Mad Dog Fred by Jonathan Harlen which is an exceedingly silly story. It's essentially a Western but set in Australia, so the main character rides a kangaroo and lives on a wombat farm. Recommended for anyone who likes silly things or needs to get a 9 year old boy to read.
Tried to watch Hound of the Baskervilles last night, but found it very boring. Brought home Soylent Green but the picture on the front cover is too scary and now I don't think I can handle watching it. We ended up watching Mallrats again instead.
Bring on Dr Phil time!
Yesterday's disclaimer about typos still stands by the way. I've already corrected three, so there's probably more I can't see.
