7:31 pm	Books books books Yes, I'm making a livejournal post. It's only been, what, most of a year? Well, I have things I wanna say, so I'm gonna say them. dark_puck turned me onto Tamora Pierce not long ago. Around that time, I read a good amount of the Tortall Universe books, and enjoyed them. More recently, I've been tearing into Circle of Magic, which I'm finding I like even better. A couple weeks ago, I acquired the first book of that series via Paperbackswap.com (which I have been using religiously since I posted about it in November '08, seen below), and not long after I finished that, went about grabbing the rest of the quartet via the same service. Once I finished THAT, I was elated to discover that my library had all of the rest of them. I promptly checked the rest out all at once. Glee. I just finished the second quartet, and am now digging into The Will of the Empress. Delicious delicious bookage. To anyone who hasn't read Tamora Pierce's stuff before, I highly recommend it. She writes complex characters in a well-developed world who take part in highly compelling stories. ...so yeah, I'm gonna need more books soon. Anyone reading this read anything good recently?

11:55 pm	The greatest Christmas gift ever. I have just received the most incredible present it is possible to receive. Are you ready for this? Wind-up sushi. http://i43.tinypic.com/2e4anpu.jpg This is the sum of all our existence. This world was made to evolve a race that would eventually invent wind-up sushi. There is nothing in life but wind-up sushi. Current Mood: Wind-up Sushi (Comment on this)

1:48 pm	A Winner Is Me I was exhausted on Monday and busy yesterday, so you get some con details today. NYCC was, as the cool kids are saying these days, teh awexome. I saw lots of cosplayers, hung with some cool people, bought a set of five-dollar nunchucks, aaaand I met Jim Butcher. RAWK. I got some stuff signed and it was an amazing experience. Really, he's just another nerd like any of us. He's just a nerd with money. Current Mood: Awexome (2 Comments |Comment on this)

8:19 pm	For The Win! I've been messing with a cute little game known as For The Win lately. It's simple; Push button, receive bacon figurines. Said figurines are pop culture parodies in a variety of delightful flavors. There's not much to it, but it's strangely endearing. And if you sign up via the link I provided, I'll get some extra goodies, which would be nice. Give it a try. Current Mood: Silly Current Music: Tommy heavenly6 - Pray (Comment on this)

9:19 pm	Things On My Desktop Well, the top of my bureau, actually, since my actual desk is clear except for my mug of pens. But anyway. http://img207.imageshack.us/my.php?image=dscf1948mw7.jpg From left to right: Treasure chest. Contains index cards, on which are cards me and my friends used to play 1000 Blank White Cards. Lots of fun. Try it. Toy helicopter with no rotors. Needs no further explanation. Pewter wizard. Birthday present from years and years ago. Zidane figurine on top of Christmas-themed box. A present from dark_puck. The box is kept out all year because I like the box. Inside is some coins, some ten-sided dice, a screw and a scrabble tile. Action figure of Neo from the Matrix. Again, self-explanatory. Demonic ducky. Present from a friend. Useful as a distraction. Ramune bottle, Bawls bottle, and bottle of "Freaky Dog" soda. Just interesting bottles. Tube of Rowntree's Berry Pastiles. Present from a friend of mine who went to London. Really good. Would really like to get hands on more. Generic warrior woman figurine. Got at a ren faire. Big-headed Spider-Man. Found in a cereal box. Can of Duff beer that contains a pack of Simpsons playing cards. I used a sharpie to turn it into a can of Düff. From Sweden. Egg timer. An early Christmas present from my mother. I have a nasty tendency to forget things that I, say, put in the oven. Handy! Finally, my lava lamp, currently switched off. Purple with pink blobs. Very trippy. I do hope this has been informative. Have a nice day. Current Mood: Meh Current Music: Portal - Still Alive (Comment on this)

5:30 pm	NERD!!!!! What Be Your Nerd Type? Your Result: Literature Nerd   Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it's eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today's society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It's okay. I understand.

10:59 pm	Fun Day! =D I went to a renaissance faire. My first. 'Twas fun. Lots and lots of fun. There were people eating fire. And pointy things. And wenches. Lots and lots of wenches. A very fun day indeed. ^_^ EDIT: Now that I'm not ass-tired, I'll provide a few more details. When we arrived, there was a joust about to go down. Many insults were hurled. One of the knights kicked the other in the stones. The crowds called for death. Huzzah. There were pointy-shinies of all sorts for sale. Not just swords, but maces, flails, axes, even chainmail suits. There were also magnificently-made staves, horns, fancy garments, even a shop selling misclanious *ahem* leather goods. >_> The highlight of the whole thing would have to be the show that went on shortly before we buggered off. A big performance where they did various things with fire. Eating it, dancing with it, lighting various extremeties on it, juggling flaming sticks, and of course, my favorate, a swordfight with flaming swords. Yee, fire! And did I mention the wenches?

Yeah. If I got one, that came up last time I played this, I'm going to skip it. TEH ROOLZ0RZ: Step 1: Put your MP3 player or whatever on random. Step 2: Post thefirst line(s) from the first 30 songs that play, no matter how embarrassing the song. If the name of the song is in the first line,post the first line that does not contain the song's name. (Note this) Step 3: Let everyone you know guess what song and artist the lines come from. Step 4: Bold out the songs when someone guesses correctly. Step 5: Looking them up on Google or any other search engine is CHEATING. 1. I saw a werewolf with a chinese menu in his hand... (dark_puck got it) 2. (3rd line) Into this house we're born... (beckyh got it) 3. Maybe in another time, I could find you there... 4. I heard you on my wireless back in '52...

(2nd line) I don't know if you knew that... 12. How ya doin', Bernie? (dark_puck got it) 13. What the hell are you standing there for, expecting me to help you... (sairan got it) 14. Hey smilin' strange... 15. Tim Finnegan lived in Walkin Street... (filthyjinx got it) 16. Sweat, baby, sweat, baby... 17. Enemy lasagna... (citrus4saturn got it) 18. (2nd line) When you're a stranger... (beckyh got it. It's 'People are Strange', but you're close enough.) 19. If you said goodbye to me tonight... 20. See me ride into the sunset on your color TV screen... (beckyh got it) 21. This bloody road remains a mystery... (beckyh got it) 22. There lived a certain man in Russia long ago...

7:27 pm	Hey, lookie here, I have an LJ I just got back from a weekend in New York City with the parents. Was pretty cool. Got to hook up with some friends, finally got to see Nintendo World (and got a bitchin' T-shirt there), and good times were had by all. Huzzah. I'd say more, but there's not much to be said, really. I'm just glad to be home and immoble at the moment. Also, expect various memes soon if I don't find something to retain my attention.

I want to worship the ground that Jim Butcher walks on. That was just phenominal. Now to wait for Book 9. ^_^ Current Mood: Bookgasmic (Comment on this)
