And I turned my head just in time to see the loading screen, which is just black. Heh.

Nothing new in the past few days. Lene's thingy was fun (although I was tired out at around midnight). It was cool to see Callan and Indira, Wendy, mikomishiranai! Saturday night I met up with Maryann and Angelica, who were hanging out at the premiere of the latest movie from the fandom that shall remain nameless, trying to catch glimpses and autographs of certain actors. I think I stood on line with them for about an hour and a half before the crowd dispersed because the important people had left in the first car.

After, Maryann and I went to eat at Go Sushi on St. Mark's, which I really enjoy. It's sooo very yummy! We went to Starbucks after that, and I kind of wondered if I'd bump into Dave. Not that I really thought I would, but apparently he hangs out there when he wants to do work uninterrupted.

Oh! I finished Academ's Fury, the second in the Codex Alera series by Jim Butcher. Ooooh, it was sooo goood. I need more, neeeeed mooooore. The problem with reading books as they come out in hardcover is because you usually have to wait another damn year before the next one in the series comes out. Bleh.

I started reading Holly Lisle's Talyn, which seemed really interesting. That was before I started to read it. Unfortunately, it is quite boring in the beginning. I know that I read at least 40 pages in, possibly more. I don't know what point I got up to, but I couldn't stand it anymore. I started skimming the next pages to see if anything popped out as being interesting. I did not find a thing. At which point, I started skipping groups of pages and found something interesting somewhere in the upper 100s or so. I am not the type to do this sort of thing. But I knew that if I didn't totally skip ahead and find something interesting, I'd have just put the book down and screw the story. It's really unfortunate because I think the plot sounds like something I'd enjoy, but -- and I hate to say it -- but I think the writer's voice is just too boring? dry? for me. =(

So I picked up the other book I have, The Dark Mirror by Juliet Marillier, an author I've not read before. It's actually quite interesting, although it isn't as page-turning as I'd wish. But the plot is interesting, and her characters are well-developed and intriguing as well! Hopefully I will finish this book and look forward to its sequel(s).

I'm really looking forward to Mercedes Lackey's new book, which I believe is called The Wizard of London, from her elementals series, and the third book in Sara Douglass' Troy Game series, called Darkwitch Rising.

The fandom that shall remain nameless, hehe. I can imagine that everyone is going to be talking about that movie this weekend. I may be skipping through a lot of my flist. (I like the movies, but I'm only a casual fan.)
