Book Season
This is the time when sequels arrive, and for once I do not have to search for enjoyable books. Last night I finished Wizards at War, eighth book in the Young Wizards series. I need to get a copy of The Will of the Emperess, which I confess I had completely forgot about. And Terry Pratchett's new book comes out in a few days! -
Better late than never...

The cultures of past times and places are often as strange ( Read more... ) -
Gmail, anyone?
Apologies to my nonexistent readers for taking so long to update. I've had a Gmail account for several months now, and they're really cool. 1000 MB of space - much better than Yahoo or MSN. Yesterday I noticed I have 50 Gmail invites, so I'm happy to give them away to amyone who asks. -
Famous First Entry
I'm sick of looking at a blank screen, so I might as well post something. I've never been able to keep a conventional diary - I got bored, or I decided it looked too messy and ripped out all the pages I'd written in, or the book got lost or something. I still have a lot of blank journals, though - I collect them because they look nice. I think ( Read more... )
