I have an absolutely irrational desire for a pair of the new Oakley Thump sunglasses. They’ve got a 256 or 512mb MP3 player built in. Want. Geek. Toy. O.O Went to HHGttG with Emily and Coby last night. It’s still cute. Zaphod is still All Wrong, but it’s still cute. :) And I biked 18 miles yesterday, and worked on my book, and… I’m a real party animal, aren’t I? :) Oh, crap, the bread. miles to Rauros Falls: 379 miles to Hobbiton: 352.5
*cheer*
I’m a Kit of good cheer today. Exchanged some email with Ebear, who said she’d “heard several good things about Urban Shaman at Comicon, sort of in passing. *g* There was a Kelly Armstrong book on the Bantam table, and people were like “Oh, I just read this other book–“”, so that made me terribly chipper. :) I’ve gotten through the first half of TBF in my first revision pass.
