I seem to have contained the chaos that is our condo more or less to the spare room. And I actually feel a lot better about the whole clutter thing, as our main living space now looks organized and feels like a living space. Bedroom still needs some help, but I can at least see the floor. Wedding presents and such are pretty nifty, except for ( Read more... )

Why, oh why must you keep sending me coupons and updates on new sci-fi and fantasy, Amazon?! Don't you know that I'm already terribly behind in my reading, and battle a compulsive book buying habit? You do know, don't you? Jerks. 

Fiance. Beer. Happy hour sushi. Bookstore. Happy Sara.

Our marriage prep class was canceled at the last minute yesterday, so Tony and I went on a nice, impromptu date. The new Boom Noodle and Blue C Sushi in Bellevue have an excellent adjoining upstairs bar called Nomu. Happy hour is cheap (as in 5 beers, two rolls, two orders of salmon sashimi and ( Read more... )

So, I've been to the bookstore (and purchased things) like, 3 or 4 times in the last week and a half. I think Tony is starting to worry that I have a compulsive book-buying habit. Which I do. Hee! Have I mentioned that our three bookcases are completely full/starting to overflow? That's including the giant one I just got from Ikea not too long ago ( Read more... )

Ganked this meme from someone's journal who I don't know. I know, sounds stalkerish, but it was someone from one of the communities I keep an eye on! So ( Read more... )

1. We have reserved our ceremony site for the wedding. St. James Cathedral in Seattle, y'all.
    
2. We have the reception site locked down, contracts signed. The Plateau Golf Club in Sammamish.
    
3. We've got catering, including beverages, all taken care of (because, most awesomely, the reception site does all that).
    
4. We've got an awesome photographer (my friend ( Read more... )

Ok people! I'm sort of moving again (officially into Tony's, even though I've basically never left these last six months or so), and I want to get a handle on where my books are. Being that they are my most important possessions (duh).

So! If you have any of my books (or other things, ie dvds, etc ) could you please let me know? Then, if you're ( Read more... )

I got more books this weekend. I've noticed that lately I'm quite in the mood for harder sci-fi and space opera-esque sorts of things. Probably has something to do with watching lots of Battlestar Galactica and Star Trek. On Friday after yoga with me mam and cousin, we ended up at Half-Price Books (joy!). I left with:
Foundation by Isaac Asimov (how ( Read more... )

I think that I might like to start a book club. Specifically geared towards sci-fi & fantasy. Like Ursula K. LeGuin, and Terry Pratchett, and Asimov, and Patrick Rothfuss, and Bradbury and lots of other really cool ones that I could go on listing but won't. What think you all? And, would anybody actually be interested in participating? It could be ( Read more... )
