Health, books and Game of Thrones...
Weekend: Not been very fun, no. :-P Apparently I got the cold from Hades. *head-desk* It has made me a lil lazy to be honest. :-P Energy on an all time low and all that.
So Thursday I started having cramps... plus coughing my lungs out and sneezing at all times. FUN! Not. :-P And I think I had a little fever to. Seriously. I spent most off Thursday on the couch since I had no energy for ANYTHING. Then Friday, still cramps, coughing, sneezing... Same thing Saturday although... I did feel a lil better be the afternoon though. Most importantly, the cramps went away.
And today, Monday. Not sneezing or coughing even half as much as I used to. THANK YOU!
Worst part was that on Thursday? Well, the library where I am hired by the hour, the big city library, called and wanted me to work. The entire weekend. o.O Since I had pretty much just woken up from my slumber on the couch right when they called, I figured yeah... 3 hours a day... I should be able to fix that even if I am not 100%. Waking up on Friday though... No way. So I called them back, and felt really bad about it to, telling them I couldn't do it. I did feel really, really bad about, because I KNOW they have trouble making sure all information desks are filled as soon as there is a meeting or anyone is missing. So yeah. Felt bad about that. They told me not to, and left it at that. They are really good people there, I gotta say. Love working at that library. Gonna work there tomorrow a few hours since plenty off them are off on a meeting, so they called in me and my friend to work the information desk. :-) Fun, fun! I do like helping visitors/patrons finding books and such.
I have two books myself to pick up to! peting73s best work-mate J has just discovered fantasy and wanted simple fantasy-reading... Well, peting73 is more into scifi, so he asked me. Simple and easy to read fun fantasy? My favorite, David Eddings. Easy. I know, I KNOW!!! It is definitely not high fantasy or even that good, but I love LOVE the sense of humor in his books. Especially in his first series: The Belgariad + The Malloreon and The Elenium + The Tamuli. The rest off his books? Kinda sucks. Avoid, avoid. But those series? Very amusing. The Elenium + The Tamuli was the first fantasy books my mom ever got her hands on. She feel head over heels with the main character, and loved the sense of humor to. So after that? She's read more and more fantasy, buying books and creating a lil fantasy-shelf herself. She even read The Hobbit + The Ring Trilogy! And that is NO easy reading, let me tell you! To be honest, I've tried to re-read Tolkiens books, and I can't.... I just... can't. 500 pages to say they walked from point A to point B? Eh... I'll skip, thank you. The story is amazing, but the language in Tolkiens books? SOOOOOOO BORING! Shoot me. :-P
ANYHOW! I am going to pick up book one and two of The Belgariad for peting73s friend. :-) They are just what he wanted. Easy fantasy reading with a sense of humor. So I hope he'll like them. :-) And that he won't be teased for enjoying them. Because I am. Every time I say I really, really like these books to another fantasy-fan? I get shoot down, like you wouldn't believe. :-/ *grumble, grumble*
Talking off fantasy though! I can't wait until Wednesday when the next part of Game of Thrones show up on TV! :-D I've read a bit more about the series since last, and checked out photos, actor interviews and such.... Carefully though! I don't wanna be spoiled to badly!
And I've found a new favorite. You know me... An old rocker chick... so my heart beats a little harder for those tall dark bad boys with long hair, yeah?
Well... What is Kahl Drogo but a SERIOUS bad boy with hair going down past his ass... We discussed the series a bit me and spicehobbit... (Yep, she fell for said series to...) and shared links to pics and such over MSN... Then we found this pic:
Aaaaaaand we both pretty much died... o.O Is it Wednesday yet?
