BREAK!

Oh, spring break, how I love you.

I'm visiting my parents for the week, and my sister is here for a long weekend. Lovely.

I finished The Summer Tree on the flight out here and moved right on to The Wandering Fire. I still like it, though I have some hesitation about how the second book started... But I think it will be OK. I still like the language and the epic, high fantasy tone. Yay for book four! I'm really going to have to pick up the pace come summer, though, if I have any hope of completing this project. 48 to go!

I woke up a little cranky this morning, because I did not wish to be conscious. My parents and sister went to breakfast, and after two cups of coffee, I am feeling much more human. Caffeine!! No idea what we're doing today, except watching the Oscars this afternoon. Pacific time, so they start at 4pm or something crazy like that - but at least it will be over at a reasonable hour. I'm not rooting for Avatar for anything but technical awards, which is the only area in which I think it excelled. Still haven't seen Up but really want to. District 9 was great. I hope the Academy makes the right choices (i.e. agrees with me!).
