I need to be working on numerous small projects. Things to write, things to read.

Last night I finished reading A Sundial in a Grave: 1610 in the bath. This is one of my new favorite novels, despite a lack of wizards. It is historical fiction, on one hand, and also takes this fantastic leap into an adventure novel that should keep company with Dumas. It has a beautiful erotic edge, and is incredibly romantic at the core in a way that is so much more human, so much more adult and genuine than most stories. This is romance built on desire, and on brotherhood in arms. Beautiful, beautiful. The plot takes unexpected twists, and it's just so damned captivating. Go, read, love.

When I'm not dreamingof 17th century duels, I'm playing Castlevania to my heart's content. I'm intent on ferreting out every secret area in this game, damn it. I hate jumping blindly in that dark room!

I'm superbly tired of the complaining and BPAL related drama. This isn't a mass market business, it's a small company who just lost some employees and this is someone's art. It clearly states on the front page that orders may take 45 business days or more. If you can't read, you don't belong on the internet.

They grey clouds make me want to stay home, and sleep.

I just read an entirely fabulous 18th century historical novel - Neal Stephenson's "Quicksilver". If you're at all interested in all those batshit crazy natural philosophers and such, it's fascinating. And even if you're not. I swear, that man is Pynchon without 70% of the hot gas.
