Short and sweet, I hope
Aug. 9th, 2005 08:25 amCatching up on writing - done
Bills - paid
Apartment - nominally clean
Cat sitting duties - finished until they restart for P- Thursday
Emails - answered
Toe - better
Exercise - uhhhh
Reading - almost finished with "Eternally Bad" and about 3 or 4 chapters into "A Game of Thrones" (which I'm enjoying very much)
HP bumperstickers acquired - 24
HP bumperstickers ordered - an additional 24 (I managed to get the set without the "Potions Master" one I so dearly desired the first time around)
Xmas shopping - all but finished with my family and begun for everyone else
Quilting projects started - does ordering some fabric count?
General sense of accomplishment - moderate

I think it does!
Glad your toe is feeling better. And if you need to borrow the other two "A Song of Ice and Fire" books, I have them in my library. :)

You are going to help a sister out and take some off my hands, right?

Date: 2005-08-09 03:51 pm (UTC)I may have to schedule a reread of Storm of Swords soon... damn. ;)
I had a very odd dream last night where I was discussing some of the odd things I've found in my HP rereads with Ellen DeGeneres who turned out to be a huge HP geek and ran to get her copies of the book so we could discuss it further.... Uh, yeah.
I should make a SoIaF icon. I have a great pic of the throne at work.

Date: 2005-08-09 04:07 pm (UTC)*sigh* Thing is, I've been collecting the books in paperback. I'm not sure I can wait the 1.5 years it'll take for that version to come out for AFoC...
I may have to schedule a reread of Storm of Swords soon... damn. ;)
...and I was just thinking that if E--'s starting to read it, I should try re-reading the series so I can discuss things with her intelligently. I haven't read any of the books since ASoS came out. :>

I keep thinking I should, too, but I think I would have to use one of the Fanart pics. I have a soft spot for Amok's picture of Asha Greyjoy.

Date: 2005-08-09 04:37 pm (UTC)I had started to reread them back when FoC was supposed to be coming out the first time (Two years ago? More?) and just found my bookmark in CoK at page 370 (and not even halfway through, heh). But, yeah, I want to at least reread Storm so I'm ready for Feast.
I need more hours in a day. It might be time to go back to my 5 hour sleep cycle.

Date: 2005-08-09 06:09 pm (UTC)I haven't read any of them since SoS, and I'd really like to re-read them all before FoC arrives, but reading them leisurely would be a one-a-month process, and I still have this pesky thing called a Life to live. (sigh) Even though today is Stress-Magnetism Day and I don't feel like I have a life, I know there's one out there somewhere with my name on it...

Date: 2005-08-09 07:37 pm (UTC)Uh, after DDF, when I have free time again...or maybe the weekend of the 20th if it's as free as I am trying to make it...

If all of mine weren't squirreled away under beds and couches currently, I'd have done that, but am going with the school notebook approach, instead.
