Good news: new fic for you! Bad news: no Peg2 for me.

Yeah. So. I can't go to Peg2. The schedule at work has changed, and the week I was going to go to London and the con is now going to be our hell week. Right. Wonderful.

So, yeah: I offically hate my job. Anyone want to hire me to do something else? ANYTHING ELSE?

Also, anyone want to buy my Peg2 ticket? Make me an offer. £90 was the original price, and I'd like to try to get as close to that as possible, because really I need all the money I can scrounge. Anyway, you can e-mail me at trinityofone @ livejournal DOT com. Thanks.

The Twilight Kingdom

Other distractions? Also welcome. Like, for example, that Go Fug Yourself has really outdone itself this time. *snort*

Booklog 2007: Week 1

Inspired by wychwood, I’m going to try my hand at keep a book log (with reviews!) this year. And hey, what better way to start than with probably the only time ever I’ll be able to report seven books in seven days? (Airport layovers = good for something.)

Week 1: 1-7 January 2007 (See wychwood, I’m even copying your dating order! (It looks prettier.))

( 1. All Families Are Psychotic – Douglas Coupland )

This book—which involves a one-armed astronaut, a family of middle class Canadians with AIDS, Prince William’s last letter to Diana, and a couple of Florida baby-harvesters—reflects reality while being completely divorced from it. It’s neat. *g*

( 2. Holidays on Ice – David Sedaris )

If you’re not stuck in an airport, I’d recommend reading the first essay in this volume in the store, then picking up one of Sedaris’ longer, richer, better books.

---

( 3. Oblivion – Peter Abrahams )

All this makes it sound like I really hated this book; I didn’t, at least not while I was reading it—in fact I was pretty entertained. But man, those were some empty calories and now I have indigestion.

---

( 4 & 5. FAKE (Vols. 1 & 2) – Sanami Matoh )

So basically what I’m saying is: I would rather be reading due South fic. Sigh.

---

( 6. The Pursuit of Alice Thrift – Elinor Lipman )

I want more, much more, of how Alice moves on with her life. Lipman gives us wonderful, tantalizing hints of how she’s grown and changed, but I wanted to see them in action, dammit!

---

( 7. The Seven-Per-Cent Solution – Nicholas Meyer )

So, with modern copyright laws, will Harry Potter ever come into the public domain? ‘Cause man, then Harry’s going to be meeting a lot of people nuttier than Freud, that’s for sure.

Total Books: 7

…And it’s all downhill from here!
