On the Road
I'm traveling with my parents from Wisconsin to Virginia to attend my sister's graduation. We're in Columbus, Ohio tonight. My parents sprang for separate rooms, which surprised me -- I figured we were going to share a double -- but I can't say I mind having my own room.
This was a conversation that happened earlier:
Mom: We're going to stop at a very nice restaurant in Illinois that your dad and I had lunch at before.
Me: Sounds good.
Mom: It's a Chinese buffet.
Me: Cool.
Mom: Your dad loves their brisket.
Me: Um..?
I didn't try the brisket but it was a very nice buffet. Dinner, in a logical inverse proportion, was an apple and some string cheese. My mom bought Avengers string cheese for me. My parents are so cute.
Since they did all the driving, I had plenty of time to read. I almost finished Freed by Flame and Storm by Becky Allen. It's a sequel; I enjoyed the first book immensely last year, and this one is a worthy continuation. If a fantasy story about a young woman with magic fighting to free her people sounds like your thing, I recommend it.
WisCon is fast approaching and I need to finish making posters for a party I'm cohosting. I'm also about 2/3 done with my next Starsky & Hutch vid. And I have ongoing cleaning goals; I left my room in a state of mid-rearrangement, which will hopefully be somewhat rectified by WisCon.
