This evening I'm heading to the Moonlight Rising convention. I'll be back sometime Monday, so I won't be making any website updates until then. Anyone else going to the con?

I am still trying to catch up on my website, honestly, it's just that the other night I picked up A Game of Thrones and got sucked back in. This is the third or fourth time I've read it, but the mythology is so intricate that I pick up something new every time. I adore this series--the strong and varied female characters, the unbelievably wrenching plot twists and the fact that no character is sacred, and especially the increasing greyness of what seemed at first to be a black and white moral universe. (Plus, I'm just so completely in love with Jaime Lannister....)

Anyway, I will get back on track with the website eventually.

Heh! I made the VERY serious mistake of deciding to read "just a couple of the Jaime chapters" from ASOS last night. And aaaaaaaargh!

Have you read the two "Hedge Knight" stories? Same universe as ASOIAF but set a hundred years earlier and v. v. good - especially as methodone for the ASOIAF heroin withdrawal ;)

Have fun at the con and see you soon, I hope!

Hee. I did that recently; I ended up reading all the Jaime chapters. Twice.

His story flows so perfectly, too -- you really don't even need all those other chapters....

I haven't read the "Hedge Knight" stories -- I wasn't sure if they were worth buying a whole anthology. I will have to check them out, though.

I hope to see you soon, too! We really must have another Sharpe night this summer. :)

Hee! I had to drag myself away after the bearpit as I needed to SLEEP. Of course, then I didn't sleep anyway - I keep hoping to redream the dream I once had in which I was reading book 7 and Jaime (still alive!) had a wonderful ending. But sadly, it's never happened again ...

I didn't buy either of the "Legends" anthologies, b/c in addition to the wonderful Martin, it seems like there's some boring stuff in which I have no interest in there. The first Legends book is out in a cheapo PB - actually, two - and so you can basically buy the Martin story for $6.00 (or there's always the library!) The second one I just parked in a bookstore to read.

We will completely be doing another Sharpe night - y'all have to see the Alexis episodes!!

I loooove your icon. I mean, really really loooove. Yummy Han Solo goodness. He's nice men.

I also love that series and have been waiting impatiently for the next book. It was supposed to be out last winter, I believe.

Have a lovely time this weekend, hon, and say hi to everyone we both know for me...and at least with you I don't have to say "Be careful what you eat!" which is comforting!

Have a great weekend - I'm envious. Moonlight Rising always souds like its one of the cooler conventions - don't know if that's just the name, or if its true!
