Re #730: Jocelyn Lemieux was good, but I haven't seen him around for a
while. If you're thinking of the evil Lemieux, well, I won't even
justify that with a response.

I had lots of fun at singing rehearsal and dance practice. I even got a boy's
address and phone number (he doesn't have email...<gasp!>)

IHB I found that while my apartment is, as my mother put it to my brother
"remember what her room was like growing up?", it has some sense of order and
I can finish putting things like books away because the bookshelves are
FINISHED. They are WHERE THEY ARE GOING TO STAY. Honest. So today, I am
going home, falling comatose, and sleeping in for the first time in my new
home. Ahhhh....
IAHB it is beautiful outside with all the snow, even if people are idiots when
they drive.

The new Eddings.
Take both of the last Fantasey series he wrote, shake up hard, add a slightly
different plot, and stick it all into one book. It's not bad, but I feel as
if I've met some of the characters before.
On the other hand, I am laughing my ass off. :)

Oh, I still like the book. Quite a lot, even. But there ae a couple of
characters that are just alittle too much like some of his other characters.

(<grins at Meg> Most of his characters are a lot like his other
characters- however, I like those characters, so it works. ;) )

IHB I have found some records (yes, lp's) that were out of print at a used
store here in Ann Arbor (PJ's...how how I love that place) so I can listen
to the christmas music that I used to when putting up the tree up to when my
parents got divorced. So 10 years later, I can finally listen to a real
christmas while putting up the tree....<deep sigh of contentment>

I have a demo mix of the CD I played bass on! It's still a bit rough, but
much much better than the cassette copy I had.

Indeed, Eddings writes a bit too predictably. It's good, clean fun, but I
never dive in expecting to reach new levels of enlightenment.

I got lots of sleep, and I'm about to go take command of my shift. Hopefully
this one will be better...

I think I share the convictions of those in the anti-Eddings camp. I
was quite a fan of his in high school, but I think I've changed since high
school, and he *hasn't*... <shrug>
But I'm happy because it's the *weekend*. Long, long week...
And the name "Chocolate coated, freaky, and habit forming" make me happy
too. :)

I like Eddings. His books have been, through the years, a fun read for me.
I'm never under the impression that it's anymore than good light reading
fantasy. A lot of books are like that, really.

I got a video of Wallace and Gromit from my friend for a Christmas
present. <giggle> I now have the three episodes, plus Chicken Run.
<bouncebounce> And my roommate got my Power Puff Girl ornaments. PPG's

46 hours and change this week, a substantial amount of it with shift bonuses
and overtime attached. It's not completely excessive, but with my whirlwind
non-work schedule, I get by. I love working mornings. This mornign was no
different.

name calling. teaching can be a great job... :)

Good time singing. And my pants didn't turn out too awfully. Need some work,
still, but at least all of the pieces are too big, rather than too small.

I had a great time singing, and we gathered for cocoa afterward...mmm...
Everyone's garb looked fabulous, even though I injured myself twice with mine
(stabbed with boning and a fibulae). I always have fun with this group.
I have tomorrow off, which doesn't suck since I had 68 hours last week. My
good friend is coming over to watch a movie with me, I'm wearing flannel
pajama pants and my favorite sweatshirt, I'm writing a letter to a new pen
pal (actual snail mail), and we just got our lease renewal form.
Life is Good. =)
