28 days...
Jul. 1st, 2005 01:08 pmI'm seriously restless today. Gah, another of those wanting to update things. Jeez, you'd think I was actually going through withdrawal, but it's not like I haven't posted. This is getting out of hand. However, I think it's mostly because I'm bored out of my mind at work. Yes, yes, that may be it.
It's really ridiculous for me to be counting down the days until I don't work here anymore. But. Only 28 left.
I would like to write something of significance, or at least something that will prompt a conversation.
Okay. Um. An interesting tidbit: Liz's friend Katie can play guitar and bass guitar. I knew that already. She has a really nice singing voice! (I didn't know that one.) She made up a song based on inside jokes from hanging out one day, and it's really cute. She gave Liz a CD of her singing/playing guitar -- mostly covers, but it did include that song that she wrote, and possibly a song that a classmate wrote, but that she wrote the music to. It was cool to listen to her CD. ^^ And our taste in music does overlap a bit more than I thought.
Picked up and finished It's In His Kiss by Julia Quinn last night. That was very amusing. She's one of the last authors whose historical romances I'll actually still read. They're ever so entertaining, and never stupid, nor excessively dramatic. Most importantly, her characters are not stupid. You wouldn't believe how common a problem that is in the romance genre. It's really too bad because I happen to like (certain) romances.
I also picked up the most recent in the Dark Hunters series by Sherrilyn Kenyon (yes, another romance). But I'd really have to re-categorize this series as het-pairing modern-day fantasy fics. Yes, fics. The author is really good: she writes darn good plots, reoccurring!characters that you want to *squee* about, all the good parts of fandom fic; she doesn't write like someone who can't use spellcheck, or like a 16-year old girl who can't get her metaphors straight. (Yes, that is a reference to that fic that made my brain explode out of my head, after Duo fell out of the top bunk, with the line, "the floor was an unforgiving mistress." ::gag:: Sorry, pet peeve there.) Anyway, I recommend checking out her site, dark-hunters.com.
Well, now. That took a good little while to write. Time for lunch. =D
