Life update...

  • Apr. 7th, 2009 at 9:49 AM

I really do plan on posting here more soon, so I don't have to bombard people with these lengthy updated.  :)  But here is what is going on in my life.
  • Getting used to living by myself again.  It hasn't been that long and lord knows it is quiet in my apartment without Natalie in it.  I still do not regret my decision to break things off, but that doesn't make me feel any better about the fact that I know she is hurting. 
  • Also just getting used to having to play everything on my own has left me a bit broke.  :)  I will adjust to that quickly, but damn!
  • My brother (I haven't spoken to him in years) from my biological family (I was adopted) found me on Facebook.  It is so strange to see how many people have found me on there that i haven't spoken too in years.  It is such a surreal thing.
  • My friends and I are going to get back into the game creation.  We started a game called Perdition and it was going pretty well and then we stopped last July.  UGH.  But we are hoping to get back on track.
  • Turn Coat came out today!  I am so excited about the new J. Butcher book!
  • I am meeting someone Wed night for "drinks".  I am really looking forward to seeing if we connect enough for anything more than that.
  • God my job rocks.  Most jobs are doing so poorly right now.  Lord know I have friends that have been laid off and that are on umemployment.  I actually got a 3.1% raise.  I am so thankful for where I am.
  • Still trying to get back into gaming.  Never seem to get to game as much as I want.  Hopefully that is going to change soon.
  • My book club is on their 100th book.  How awesome is that???  :)  The book is The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks.
That is all. :)

Reading is fundamental...

  • Apr. 3rd, 2009 at 2:09 PM

It has been a while since I have talked about what I am reading.  Orginally, my goal was to review each book that I read, and I hope to get back on that track.  The problem is I tend to read some of the same series over and over again.  Mostly due to the fact that  a new book will come out and I re-read the prior ones.  A prime example of this is the fact that I am reading the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher.  I am on book 8, Proven Guilty and the next one comes out in a few days (Turn Coat). 

A few other things I am reading (or going to read). 

I am on book 8 of The Wheel of Time, Heart of Winter.  I have read these before, but I got a co-worker into the series and after discussing the books, i got the itch.

The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks.  This is for my book club and I have to finish it by next Tuesday, so it is taking most importance in my queue. 

As I mentioned, Proven Guilty by Jim Butcher.

The next book for my book club is Across the Face of the World by Russell Kirkpatrick.  I am hearing a lot of LOTR references, and that usually annoys me.  We will see.

The Gardens of the Moon by Steven Erickson.  A co-worker suggested this one.  So, that should be interesting.

The Terror by Dan Simmons.  I really want to get this soon.
