ceitfiannaToday is grey and icky but I'm still going to walk over to the library, because I need more Diana Wynne Jones' books.
Also I finally signed up for Netflix, so I'll get to see the end of Band of Brothers, Enchanted, Dark Angel and some other things. Any recommendations of what I should put in my queue guys?
Oh and because I'm thinking about it, I've been reading a couple of new canons while traveling and thought I'd talk about them now.
Young Wizards book 1
I'm sad to say that I was disappointed in this book, it was just doing so much and I found the characters wonderful, but wished the plot had slowed down a lot. I think what made it the most disappointing was how much I love Nita in Bar but only saw part of her wonderfulness in the book. I'll try the second book since everyone says its better and see.
X-Wing-The Krytos Trap by Michael Stackpole
I really want to read more of these books, because I like the fresh perspective on the world and the plot just caught me a lot.
Oh and I'm feeling a lot better than yesterday, I just had a night of sleeping badly but Mother's Day stuff went really well.
I made this fantastic Moroccan dish of chicken, almonds and chickpeas among other things.
Then I went to bed earlier and I think that helped though the wind last night was really crazy which made sleep interesting.
ETA The storm is supposed to get worse so I won't be walking anywhere, driving is also in question.

That being said, I am definitely more attached to the ones I read as a kid than the ones I read more recently (although I do enjoy the new ones in many ways!), so it may just be one of those series that you have to hit at a Formative Age to really adore wholeheartedly.
