Started a book blog again over on booklikes. Most recent review: Redshirts by John Scalzi. We shall see how long this blog lasts. :)
Randomly Random Readings
In other random news, I bought a bow and am attempting archery again. I decided I needed to do something to get myself outside more and since I enjoyed archery as a kid, I'd try and pick it up again, even though I was always a terrible shot. But I had to buy a left-handed bow, even though I'm right-handed because I taught myself how to shoot incorrectly as a kid. By the time I realized I was shooting wrong, it was too ingrained for me to be able to change. Oops.
Went out shooting for the first time today and did better than I expected, for not having shot a bow in twenty years. I do wish I'd bought a slightly lighter draw weight than thirty lbs though, since my arm was getting pretty tired by the end of it. My fingers are also a bit sore from the string. It'll probably just take some time for me to build up the strength and the calluses. Still, it was kinda fun. I'm glad I was by myself though, since if there'd been anyone else there on the range, I think they'd have been puzzled by my self-taught style. ;)
