Just got back from a lovely lovely brand new holiday house in Waitarere. The house had these neat things: giant slabs of wood made into outdoor furniture, close proximity to beach, about ten beds, gigantic bowl of a spa bath, new covered Barbecue, flash new kitchen, lovely big front deck.
I sunbathed a lot.
I read:
Fables: Homelands and man, did I love this! It may be my favourite Fables title after Storybook Love....Boy Blue is just too cool.
Fables: Arabian Nights (and Days) which was a bit disappointing. I liked the first half, but I guess I found it hard to sympathise with the second half of the story. This one is very interesting though, because it shows the other side of the battle and the innocent people and it's all very intriguing in a Big Overarching Plot kind of way. I wonder how many titles there will be in total?
Little Town on the Prairie was very good with a healthy dose of shocking racism at the end. Didn't manage to start the next one yet.
Daisy Kutter: The Last Train, another graphic novel. Set in the Wild West but with Robots. Daisy used to be a train thief but she's gone straight, until a stranger offers her an awful lot of money to rob one more train...dead pan humour, and extremely cool art. I give it A+
I am currently two thirds of the way through Soul Eaters which is the third in the Michelle Paver Chronicles of Ancient Darkness books. It was a bit slow to get started since it was a bit samey to the first two but it is very exciting now and I want to get it finished.
I played a lot of Wii and just today bought Lee the Marvel Superheroes game for his birthday. I am good at baseball and when I was playing against a certain tall skinny boy, the Wii enforced the Mercy Rule since I was beating him by five home runs. *gloats* Also, I enjoy the 'find mii' game on Wii Play where you have to spot the person avatars in progressively harder rounds.*
I have finally registered for Kapcon and will be running two games. Gregor's Best Friends (which I still mean to write an actual play for) and my Pride and Prejudice Game.
*This is much easier when they are people you know, like two Rachels or three Giffys. Some of the rounds are darkened, some rounds you just have to find yourself or a specified mii, sometimes you're looking for the 'odd one out'. It's addictive.
