Reading: I am giving Steven Erickson another shot, picking up Deadhouse Gates again. So far it has me snagged, 'cause the first book in the series left me not wanting to read the whole series but I've read that the first book isn't the strongest.

Planning: This weekend is all schoolwork and gaming with some UFC fights to watch tossed in on ( Read more... )

Reading: I should finish up the second hard-cover graphic novel of Invincible today at lunch and I'm fairly underwhelmed. Other than an interesting reveal towards the end of the first graphic novel it is a fairly tepid Superboy ala Spider-Man's school life ala Teen Titans with only a few little tidbits that leave me interested at all. But well ( Read more... )

Reading: I've been listening to the audio book of The Steel Remains by Richard K Morgan and really enjoying it in this medium for the second go-round. Near my bed are the two big hardcover graphic novels of Invincible. I'm finding that I am kind of lukewarm on it.

Planning: Everything feels up in the air this weekend, which is fine. I wouldn't ( Read more... )

Reading: I've got a few books of short stories by my bed and I read a short story before I go to sleep most nights. The Guild of Xenolinguists and another that slips my mind but some Kelly Link is in the mail and this excites me. The audiobook of Beautiful Monsters has really grabbed me during long trips to Albany and back

Planning: Off to see ( Read more... )

Reading: I can't stick with anything lately. I picked up Spook Country. I should probably put down these novels and pick up a book of short stories; I think that would fit into my life far better at this point.

Planning: A weekend with the lady-friend.

Wearing: Jeans and a comfy t-shirt.

Writing: Wrote some more on the 7 Dwarven Kings ( Read more... )

This morning thing is this huge untapped reservoir of time that I usually sleep through; it is amazing.

Reading: I wouldn't call a little more than thirty pages of Death of the Necromancer in a week reading, more like poking at it with a stick. I read the second Starman Omnibus.

Planning: Eggs and sausage, then the gym.

Wearing: Sweat pants and ( Read more... )

Reading: I just finished The Last Unicorn and enjoyed it quite a bit. Now I'm on to The Death of the Necromancer, a book I began a long time ago and never finished but enjoyed enough so that whenever I did a purging of my book-shelves, I always kept it around.

Planning: I have some papers to finish this weekend and some papers to start. The ( Read more... )

I always remember that first day after winter when I can finally smell mud again. I love that.

Reading: I picked up The Last Unicorn and it is really beautifully written. I've been chewing through fifty pages or so a night before I go to bed and imagine I will finish it up this weekend. For some reason, I think my mom would like this one.

Reading: I took a half-hour off from schoolwork last night and just read a few chapters of the Automatic Detective and really liked it. It is goofy fun. It has a talking gorilla; I'm hooked. I am hungry for a lush fantasy novel, though ( Read more... )

Reading: Starting Strength and Atomic Robo. I am reading a book about lifting weights and another about a sarcastic robot monster hunter...I am a 13 year old boy in the body of a 33 year old man.

Planning: Party tonight, possibly coming home to watch the fights late. Brunch tomorrow with a possible Super Bowl Party after that.

Wearing: Black ( Read more... )
