...vacation pictures. Oh, and Mr. Fernando, how come I never knew you were such a big Terry Brooks fan before? Anywho, later peeps.

EDIT: Yeah so if the point of updating my journal was to show off some pics, I should post the link right? http

Cool pictures. Where was the vacation?

Uh... it never came up in conversation? (heh) Are you a fan, too?

David and I went on vacation to Montreal, which is where I'm from. We had a really good time, but a week just isn't long enough.

Have you read the First King of Shannara? Because my Nin moniker/persona was Mareth, who was a character in that book. And so yes I'm a big fan. He's the only author that I'll fork over the big bucks for to buy the hardcover editions. I still have yet to finish Morgawr yet though, but have already bought Jarka Ruus. I need to finish a series I'm reading by Peirs Anthony first before I start on them though. I thought I saw that you said you read the Landover series, so have you also read the Word/Void Demon series? I don't think it was looked upon very well by most, but I really liked it.

Awesome. From the pics, it looks like you guys had an excellent time.

Yup, I have read that book. Bought a hardcover copy of it soon after it was released. Enjoyed it thoroughly. I love the continuity across all of the novels. I've just recently started on Morgawr and am loving it so far. Jarka Ruus is the next book on my "to-buy" list. It's too bad that we'll have to wait 2 years for the series to be completed.

Haven't bought any of the "Landover" books yet, though I've been meaning to. I actually have "Running with the Demon" from the "Word" series, but have yet to seriously try reading it. Have gotten somewhat lax in my reading in recent years, unfortunately. It's starting to come back, though.

You have good taste, by the way. Heh...

Great pictures. That cathedral is beautiful!
re: Amandat pictures...were you drinking??

[runtbox]

Thanks, that's the Notre Dame Basillica in Montreal. It was the first time I'd ever been, and it was absolutely stunning even for heathens like David and I. *L*

-_- Yes, those were pictures in which I was drinking. I had four killer koolaids in the span of about 3 hours. And I was still fucking sick. 4 drinks, 3 hours, all the same thing, with food before and after. We got home at about 1:30 and went to bed. I felt sick till 5 am at which point I was too tired to keep fighting the sickness off. I hadn't been able to fall asleep because I felt so ill. I got up, threw up about less than an ounce of foam, but no bile though, yay!! Then I had a glass of water and went to bed. How retarded is that? I have to tell you though that I am done with drinking unless maybe I consider just having ONE. Because I think I must be allergic or something because there's no fucking way I should have been sick. Bleh.

I used to think maybe you just had a low alcohol tolerance and needed to build it up, but 4 drinks in 3 hours? Nobody's alcohol tolerance is that low. So maybe you're right.

[abelburning]

Mine actually is about that low. It's pretty sad. Heh...
