Sunday

And so the weekend ends. The weather is a lot better today than yesterday - yesterday was chilly and wet; today is warm and sunny. And breezy. The living room is livable, which is awesome. And in an hour and a half, we'll have the new Doctor Who to watch.

Yesterday we went out to the mall. Jilly picked up an outfit for the cruise. I picked up some jeans, swim trunks, sandals, and a nice work shirt. Between this week and last week I'm set - I now have infinite more pairs of shorts than before, for instance (from 0 to 5). Yaaay shorts. :)

Today was Father's Day brunch. Good company. We'll leave it at that and not discuss the food.

Which brings us to this week. To do:

write a DC report (need to just add Steve's DST awards and hit send)
plan a Forsaken game
write up a plotkit for Nick
do a mage write-up

I'll probably work on the first three items tomorrow night. I will also likely hang out on Mirc for any online RP people want - just let me know if there's a need.

Have gotten most of the way through Sharpe's Triumph. The Sharpe series is actually pretty good, following the exploits of a British Sergeant in the midst of India. Good descriptions of historical events, good action. Richard Sharpe would probably be best described as the Bruce Willis of colonial England.

Having almost finished it, though, that leaves the question as to what I read next:

• Traitor, the next in the NJO series
• Starfighters of Adumar, the last X-wing novel I didn't own until earlier this weekend.
• Arrows of the Queen, a ML novel that I purchased on northernminx's recommendation.
• The Thirteen Gun Salute, the next O'Brian novel
• Something else (suggestions welcome)

Hell, I'm about to go on a 7 day cruise, so its not like more reading ideas are unwelcome. Otherwise I'll just have to bring a bunch of computer books. :)

I have no idea how to respond to that sentiment. I feel the need to, I dunno, ban you from taking more than 4 books. Cruise. Friends. Caribbean. Cruise. Ship. Destinations.

I actually know Bernard Cornwell. He was very good friends with my grandparents, and when we'd come up for the summer to Cape Cod, we always went on his boat and out to eat with him and his wife. He said me and my sisters were the only children he could stand.

When I was seventeen, he tried to sleep with me. Scuz.

Well, you are up to date on both Jim Butcher series, yes? If not... his books are darn good (and the two series are very different - something some author's don't do well).

I have the rest of the Arrows of the Queen series handy, along with most of the rest of the Valdemar stuff if you enjoy it.

I can pack the sequels to Arrows of the Queen if you want to read those on the cruise. Aaron and I also picked up a couple different card games we are bringing for nights of sitting around goofing off.
