*hums the wicked witch's tune*
It is nasty outside. Ugly and rainy. If it were only windy I would be perfectly content to let it all go, but of coarse, it's not. I am really glad though that I live in a brick house. I don't have to worry about siding going flying or anything to that effect.

Today I spent the last of my tax refund money. I bought a monitor first, that I really, really, really needed. Then I spent whatever I wanted on what I wanted. It was a nice change to have money to spend. I need a freaking job so that I can do this more regularly.

*headdesk*

I will find a job! I will find a job! I will!

   I could quit until April if I wanted . . .
Good Omens by Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman
Escape by Carolyn Jessop with Laura Palmer
Armageddon Summer by Jane Yolen and Bruce Coville

3 / 12 books. 25% done!


I see an unintentional pattern in the books that I have read so far this year. Not one of them has only one author. I mean, Escape (Es-cape' . . . . *titters*) only has someone else's help in writing it as opposed to the other two that have two people writing sections of it to form a cohesive book. And it works. In all three cases.

I have to admit that Armageddon Summer is more juvenile than I remember it having been, but then all books are like that when you haven't read them in a while. You read them when the book would seem at your age level only to read it later and find that you have grown up. Not a bad thing. It simply means that you can read it again and hopefully remember what you loved about it when you first read it. But it is a good book.

Oh, and today I have just finished six of the seven things on my list of must-get-dones. Or goals. Whichever you prefer. The last one is going to be done here in a minute once I have posted this.
