I got my yuletide challenge.

I've been feeling weird and sleeping a lot the last couple of days, and I don't think it's a celiac thing, just a life thing. Hence, I did not write AC articles last night (tonight?), but I did practice fencing. And wind up with another Swordspoint fragment on my harddrive as I wait for descensus_hp materials from Kali.

I am not sure I actually have anything to report, other than I am in that annoying state where I'm waiting on four checks (oddly, none of them from the Germans for a change!)

First Man in Rome is getting _really_ good but I'll probably have to break from it again (it's long and not a fast read) to get The Vintner's Luck read for themollyhouse. Luckily the book is divided in ways that makes for easy stopping points to temporarily switch gears. And I still have to order Fall of the Kings.

In yet other things I am obsessed with news, Luhrmann's new, as yet unnamed, Aussie epic seems like it's actually going to get made. He keeps giving interviews about the specific types of cattle they need to find for the film and the related "cattle calls" and actors everywhere groan.

Meanwhile, the social obligation I thought I had tonight is actually tomorrow night.

Having already read it, I will let you know now that The Vintner's Luck is a pretty fast read. I could barely put it down, and it took me... well, two days, but there was lots of time in that two days that I had to put it down and go to class or do homework or other such nonsense. It's a lovely book, I thought.

I have a good feeling about it, which is nice since I had already read Swordspoint and Melusine ticked me off.

Wow, this is so neat. I just finished reading The Vintner's Luck less than two weeks ago, and yeah, it was one of those books where I would have liked to been able to discuss it a bit.

I love kismet sometimes.

Well, themollyhouse won't be starting the discussion until the end of the monthish as it's our November book, if you want to join. We're still on Swordspoint which hasn't really sparked that much discussion I think because people liked it (Melusine put us all in rant mode).
