I admit I haven't.
The 'rents go away again on Valentine's Day. PM me your phone number in case of continuing user error, and I'll set to it then. And cheers for the reminder.

I'm on the 1st book in the series of two. Can't remember what its called - something about a blade. It's the one with Glokta and Ardee and the Bloody Nine in it. Really enjoying it, but can't read it when tired or anything else is happening. I seem to have lost my capacity for retaining names in fantasy books.

Read the Shadowmoon books, and the ones with the slave/ not-slave and the Prince/ not-Prince. And Only Human. Will review when I have them in front of me and not having to dredge them up from my rusting brain.

That'll give me something else to do!

Oh, that Blade sequence is awesome. Glokta is such a fabulous character. I think the one you are talking about is The Blade Itself; but it's actually a series of three. The Shadowmoon books was the series of two. But the Abercrombie books ( the ones you're reading currently) probably dont look like a trilogy, because one of them is a different edition and is much bigger than the other two, which are normal paperback size :P)

Before They are Hanged
The Blade Itself
The Last Argument of Kings

Yes, am on The Blade Itself (kept confusing it in my mind with The Knife of Never Letting Go) and just checked my room to see that indeed I do have The Last Argument of Kings.

I'll have to get down to it and get some reading done!

I have noticed that the hem lines on young women's shorts in 2010 are almost exactly where the waist lines on young women's jeans were in 2004.

I'm glad we got the kids some snow boots this year. It's always a toss up. Odds are almost as good that they will never need them as they will get use.

We've had like 24 inches of snow so far this season, and now we are supposed to get 20 inches starting tomorrow. Turns out, we should have gotten them gaiters too. This isn't Buffalo. What's going on? I thought Virginia was in the South?

We've had more snow the last couple of days. Fortunately it seems to be melting already! Very foggy though. Looks positively eerie out there.

Your random thoughts. Your useless post posting. Before you know it, you'll be a post whore extraordinaire!
Instead of a post whore, can I be a selective slut?

Cats are supposed to represent female sexuality in dreams.
Perhaps this is a message from your subconscious that you need some vajazzling?
