Er, Urban Fantasy Land seems to have presented HANDS OF FLAME as one of their possible ‘best books’ of 2008. It’s a very scientific decision as to who wins, based entirely on internet voting, and I’m a bit late to the game (the poll’s been up three weeks and ends tomorrow night, and I only just found out three minutes ago), but if you’d like to go vote, then heck, you might even win a B&N or Amazon gift certificate, too. :)

The swim coach was at the pool today. We ended up…racing is not the right word, not really. Keeping up with each other is more accurate. For about 200 meters. Maybe 300, in which case I swam further than I think I did, but I think it was 200. Anyway, he doesn’t do flip-turns, or he’d have totally left me in the dust, but as it was, we stayed neck and neck for the whole stretch. And he reached the end of his set right before I crapped out, which…

Anchorage has over a hundred miles of bike trail, and I really, really miss getting out on them. Biking in…

Hoo, it’s all shiny and new and, er, I can’t spend three hours playing with it because I have to go write very soon. All I will do right now is make certain the cross-posting thing is working…. I have completed 2 weeks (3x a week) of Pilates and v. light upper body weight lifting now. On the 12th of January I couldn’t do any pushups at the end of a set of Pilates…
a busy day, in the end
Mmm, if I had a spare hundred bucks I’d get me one of these: a velvet frock coat. Oh, except a 12 would probably fit me best and that’s what they’re out of, of course. A ten might be worth trying if I was slimmer, but I’m not. Ah well. My feet hurt. I walked about six miles today, which is more than my 14 month old beat-to-hell tennies can take. They’re turning the electricity off here for several hours on Tuesday. We’re thinking of going in to Dublin and…
