Game On

When I was bored, earlier in the week, someone on Facebook sent me an invitation to this game called Zuma Blitz. I'm going to go on record and say that this person should be ashamed of themselves because I have played that game over 200 times since then. (I'm currently in first place in the tournament with my Friends list).

About an hour ago I was playing Halo: Reach (and kicking much ass I might add). I was thinking, while I was playing the game, that I want to write some big epic, angsty death fic but I'd never actually do it because I can't hardly stand to read death fic. I know I couldn't handle leaving a story that way because I like a happy ending.

It's Sunday and it's too early to be awake.

And I wish I was this girl in this video:

5 Books On My Desk

The fact is that I mostly buy ebooks these days but our house is loaded down with print books that we bought before we had devices for ebook reading because both my husband and I are both avid readers. He also has a serious hard-on for audio books. Nine times out of ten, he's listening to audio book on his mp3 player instead of actual music.

1. The 15th Edition of the Chicago Style Manual (because I'm currently editing an article for a magazine that is due next week)

2. Master/slave Relations: Handbook of Theory and Practice by Dr. Robert J. Rubel (because I'm considering scenarios for the next TTB story)

3. Killers: The Most Barbaric Murderers of Our Times by Nigel Cawthorne (professional project research)

4. He Shall Thunder in the Sky by Elizabeth Peters (because it's my favorite book in that series)

5. The Shelter of Stone by Jean Auel (because a new book in this series is coming out soon and I was brushing up on it so I could be prepared for the hardcore reading session I'll have on my Kindle when it comes out)
