[365days: Day 43] [02.12] To err is human -- to arr is pirate
Today I did a pirate costume (for my nephew) :D. Nothing complicated, it only took me three hours, and the results were pretty, if I'm allowed to say. It was fun to watch him so happy simply by dancing for four hours in the carnival's first parade :). Two more days to go! He's going to be so tired on Monday :B. (Plus, it is kind of awesome to watch about 50 pirates doing the Thriller routine ... closely followed by the Macarena, Grease, Jesus Christ Superstar and other ~40 famous oldies).
Aaaand, I finally finished reading Orson Scott Card's Wyrms. I ... feel like I have to read it a couple more times, as well as some other people's more informed analysis. Which is kind of sad, because it means I didn't enjoy the book viscerally enough to get engaged. In short, I found it really meh. Interesting ideas, but very rushed in the end, nothing really happens, and the protagonist didn't really do a thing other than follow her destiny and make the lives of those around her miserable >8|.
Bean (Julian Delpiki) is still the only Card character I truly enjoy.
