Happy 10:13!!!

Reader's Circle tonight! It's fun, it's exciting, it's books! And, yeah, could I be any more geeky?

I stayed home yesterday, due to a sore throat that made speaking my least favorite activity. My glands are no longer swollen, though, so I'm back in the saddle at work today. Still not sure if it's allergies, or a cold, or some type of infection; but it seems to be healing itself, so I can avoid the doctor if the swelling is completely gone by tomorrow.

I'm still slogging through the same gothic novel I've been reading on and off for a couple of months; now with a haunted castle! I also took some time out from reading that to reorganize my printed-out fanfic, and read an extreeemely trashy romance novel, that was so bad I will not be discussing it tonight. One of those jobs where there is no character development, and the plot is too derivitave to be taken seriously in any way. It had a plot like swiss cheese; for example, one of the main characters gets shot at, and doesn't tell anyone, or worry about it, or bother to take any interest in figuring out who shot at him. It kinda made me sad, because I've read other books by the same author that I thought were really creative, plot-wise. Next up, HP revisited. That should have me finishing book 6 right around the time book 7 gets delivered.

And, as an added bonus, concert! after the book meeting. One of our original members is in a band, and they're having their first show tonight, so we will all stick around and applaud wildly.

It seems silly to do a 'weekend update' on Wednesday, so I'm gonna skip it. It was a weekend, I had fun, I wish it was still a weekend. 'Nough said. There will most likely be a happy hour tomorrow, and some other activities for the coming weekend.
