Know what today is? Today is the day SHAMAN RISES, last book of the Walker Papers, hits the shelves! Go forth! Buy! Enjoy! Weep! Um. Well. Um.

There was an early showing of the second How To Train Your Dragon movie yesterday, and the first half of it was good. Ted says the second half was good too, but Young Indiana didn’t make it all the way through, so neither did I. :) I did see (all of) Belle this weekend, and it was *wonderful*. Highly, highly recommended. Working my way through Veronica Mars. I’m…
…if you had a choice between a whole Chance-world origin story or an introduction to a new modern character in the Chance world, which would you prefer?
