i want to solve a mystery

Last night I fell asleep around 10 pm, which is obnoxiously early for me. I woke up around 11, brushed my teeth, and went back to bed, only to wake up at 2 am with an incredibly stuffy nose and a very painful, scratchy throat. I've been feeling quite miserable since then. I woke up around 9:30 this morning and watched Monk and read a book for a ( Read more... )

I'm on track to be at Otakon too! I will have that Friday off, so I am trying to decide which day to go. Yays!

So are you only going to drive out for one day, then? I might be able to get you a free room with Michele, but she does have a roommate so it would be up to the roomie I think. Either way, let me know when exactly you are going so we can hang out.^^

I actually do know of a semi-detective/mystery military sci-fi writer. Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan saga is brilliant. I highly recommend you check it out.

I've actually read most of them already, haha. And I agree, they are excellent. I guess I sort of classified them more under military scifi than mystery, but you are correct, many of them do have a mystery component. A lot of military scifi does, actually, because it involves strategies and secret plans, but I was thinking more along the lines of military police, or a government secret agent, or a government hired private eye or something along those lines....

Gosh, I with I could go to Otakon, just once. I bet it is going to be so awesome!! Wish Jrock bands are going to be playing?

:) Congrats on the motorbike though!! :D

VAMPS is playing. Actually, as it turns out I won't be going. I COULD afford it but then I would have no cushion in case like, my car broke or I had to take my dog to the vet. So it's a shame, but oh well.

And we'll see if my dad actually follows through on the bike...

Oh... that is such a shame!! But you'll live, I guess. :(

:) Well you never know! Haha, are you setting yourself up for disappointment already?
