Some pimping and some chat.
Excitement of the day:
I've just phoned O2 and upgraded my mobile to the Samsung d900i. I was going to get the U600, but I finally decided I couldn't cope with the touch sensitive buttons. I changed my tarrif while I was at it and for £5.00 less a month, I get double the free minutes I had and 5 times as many texts. The catch is that I can't upgrade for two years, which suits me because I don't upgrade every year due to my Lazyitis.
I've also just finished chap 4 of Parity Transformations and have sent to Ame for damn good betaing. I'm not happy with it so I think I'll be revising long into the night. Hee!
Now for some pimping of some published works:
Civil War - This is a Marvel title, which isn't normally my thing, but I was forced to read it by my Marvel Swapsie Buddy. The Government passes an act that forces all super heroes to register and submit to training. This effectively means that their true identities are to be put on record. Obviously, there are some super heroes who are not willing to go along with it, including Captain America and the Young Avengers. Brilliant art, wonderful storyline which actually gets you seeing both sides of the argument, and several good comedy moments. On the basis of this graphic novel, I am actually considering becoming a Spiderman fan. :oO
The Tenderness of Wolves by Stef Penney - Set in Canada 1867, a man is murdered and a woman's 17 year-old son disappears. She sets out across a dangerous and desolate land to find her boy, Francis, and the murderer in order to clear Francis's name. I don't know what attracted me to this book in the first place, other than the fact that Amazon had it really cheap, but I'm glad I went to the trouble. It's beautiful, engaging and wonderfully detailed. I completely fell for most of the main characters, especially Francis (you'll see why). Read it!
