Drowned Wednesday
Finished Garth Nix's Drowned Wednesday this afternoon. It was fantastic, and Arthur is finally starting to man up about being the Architect's Heir.
I think most of us, being given our own pocket realm and being told we're in charge of the Universe wouldn't spend half as much time whining about how much we want to go back to the regular world and being a normal kid.
Anyway, pirates, gods, whales 126 miles long, submarines run by rats...
Started Sir Thursday which had the best military name ever, the 'Moderately Honorable Artillery Company'.

The Yarn of Shakespeare
Kevin and I had lunch today and I got my birthday present from him early (since there's a party Friday)- It's this really lovely yarn, all slate blue and gray and black called Shakespeare Yarn. Two skeins! Now I have to agonize what to make out of it since it has to be super awesome.
Went and picked up Lady Friday since I've been on a Keys to the Kingdom kick the last two weeks, and saw this fantastic hardcover Gustave Dore art book in the bargain section. Might go back for it, but Barnes and Noble doesn't take coupons like I wish it would.

Happy Birthday
I spent my birthday driving to Athens and back for twenty minutes in their rare book room.
Thank god the rest of the day was better than that. Incredible hibachi, then Mentalist and Leverage while bundled up under my birthday present Snuggie (yes, the thing on tv- and it's a million times more warm than it looks) clutching my birthday present copy of Tanith Lee's Princess Hynchatti and Some Other Surprises.
Thanks Fred and Randy!

Burned
spent most of saturday morning hiking around the coasts of lake acworth and allatoona where the water has pulled back and all the downed trees covered in fishing lures were exposed. this is probably the earliest in the year i've gotten a sunburn. ouch.
we went and saw Coraline in 3D the night before. it was incredible.
