grindmonkehSince everyone else is doing it, I won't backdate this "books read this year(®Alek)" entry like I typically do to spare my friends list of the mundane...
books read thus far this year...
The Hunter's Blades Trilogy - Book I: The Thousand Orcs - R.A. Salvatore
The Hunter's Blades Trilogy - Book II: The Lone Drow - R.A. Salvatore
The Hunter's Blades Trilogy - Book III: The Two Swords - R.A. Salvatore
Choke - Chuck Palahniuk
Hannibal Rising - Thomas Harris
Path of Destruction: A Novel of the Old Republic - Drew Karpyshyn
The Sellswords - Book II: Promise of the Witch-King
Diary - Chuck Palahniuk
Survivor - Chuck Palahniuk
The Sellswords - Book III: Road of the Patriarch - R.A. Salvatore
My original goal was to read one book every week, but I've spent a lot of reading time catching up on the last three seasons of the Sopranos and then starting on Deadwood, which I think I watch just to hear Al Swearengen's liberal usage of the term "cocksucker" for anyone who throws a wrench into the gears of his moral decay.
I picked up a killer little mp3 player from Amazon and an IRiver fm transmitter to rock it in my Jeep. This is the best bang for the buck IPod alternative I've found...the mini SD expandable memory is also super-cheap (2GB for $20.00 - $30.00), so for $150.00 you can have a 6GB mp3 player with video, fm radio, internal and external recording, and non-itune-osity. A zazzy item like this will put you on the zazztrain to zazzville.
The weather took a major dive today and I got little sleep due to tornado warnings and thunder that clattered the windows. I was hoping to finish trimming our half-mile perimeter of privet hedges today...and the weather forecast doesn't look promising for the next week either. I'd also planned on replacing the motorcycle battery, but it looks like my free time (when I'm not entertaining Bran or the monkeys) will be spent catching up on Battlestar Galactica eps or playing the Titan Quest expansion inside where it's warm. In two weeks we're taking the train to Chicago and seeing a Cards/Cubs game at Wrigley field. I'm thinking about catching a showing of 300 at the Navy Pier Imax, but Bran wants to eat at the Cheesecake Factory and we have to squeeze that somewhere into the agenda. I just checked all business and event hours and I think we can make it jive. Excelente.
That's all really.
