My oh my. So after getting Quite A Lot of Work Done yesterday (yay me!), I went to get a massage. *goosh* It was wonderful. My back felt (in fact, feels) better than it has in months. I may have to make a habit of this. Plus the woman who was my masseuse, Chloe, got ridiculously excited over the idea of me being a Real Published Author. *laugh* It’s really funny how complete strangers get all excited over that. So anyway, wow, my back feels good. Yay! And it’s raining, so I have no reason to go stain the fence, which means I should have some more time for my dumb shoulder to heal up. Yay! :)
I finally went and talked to the guy about business cards, so that’s good, and, let’s see, what else. After my massage Ted and I went out to eat, and then went to see AVP, which I actually *enjoyed*. I really didn’t think I’d like it, but I actually enjoyed it!
We also stopped by B&N, where I got the latest Luna book, Caitlin Brennan’s THE MOUNTAIN’S CALL, and where in interests of not letting us have a bookstore accident, I did not get Wil Wheaton’s JUST A GEEK (although I read the forward, in which Neil Gaiman says, “I pointed out to Wil that he would sell a lot more copies if he had Patrick Stewart write the introduction, but he wanted me to do it. That’s because Wil is a geek. To geeks, I’m pretty much as cool as Patrick Stewart.” *laugh* I liked that. :)), but I’ll probably buy it soon, because I want to read it and I have recently developed this Deep Sympathy for buying first run books, for some reason. :)
Due to massaging and dinnering out and movieing and all, I 1. am convinced today must be Saturday, and 2. only walked 2 miles yesterday. But I walked, so that’s good!
miles to Lothlorien: 181
Don’t tell my boss, but since it’s an O’Reilly book, I got my work to buy me a copy of Just A Geek when I was at the Open Source Conference, with a bundle of other (technical) O’Reilly books. :-)
Haven’t read it yet, though.
He was at the previous OS Con, and signed my copy of Dancing Barefoot.
Yay, geeks!
(And Neil Gaiman is as cool as Patrick Stewart. Maybe cooler, but they’re both really awesome.)
*laugh* COOL! I knew (and noticed again yesterday) that it was an O’Reilly book. That’s just cool! *laugh* Go Kirby! :)
Go read “Just a Geek”! Buy “JAG”! That was a bookstore accident I could’ve gotten behind.
I bought it and inhaled it within 24 hours. It’s that easy a read. And cool.
