thankfully, tomorrow was another day

Today was a day that rolled along more or less smoothly. I got things done in a competent manner, problems were resolved, tickets were purchased, and I am full of relief.

So, here are other things on my mind:

For those watching SYTYCD - is it just me, or is this a season full of talented dancers given very little of interest to do?

I am actually not reading A Dance of Dragons. I read the first three books, and then the wait sort of killed my interest. Am pondering not bothering with the rest of the series, as I feel its window for me has passed.

The newest Harry Dresden book suffered from having the action plot shoehorned in where a quieter, more reflective, more relationship-heavy plotline wanted to be. There was some of that, but it kept getting elbowed aside by the kerblooey. It wasn't a bad book, I just wanted more beefy interpersonal stuff.

I really want gummi bears right now. But I am not going to get any.

I also want to make my own halvah, so I don't have to stalk the co-op to buy theirs (which includes banana chips, chocolate chips, and crasins, and is terribly delicious). If you happen to be sitting on an awesome halvah recipe, please share. I'm a new addict.

Anyway, off to aikido.

I'm loving a Dance with Dragons, but only because I started the series a couple months ago. I can barely keep some characters straight as it is, I can't imagine waiting 6 or 7 (?) years for the next installment and then trying to pick up where I left off. But it IS a good book, if more horror than fantasy in some chapters.

Cool that you are still doing aikido! I was wondering.

When do you leave for DC?

I may yet pick it up, but I'll have to plow through the two inbetween books I haven't read yet, and I don't know...

I am still doing aikido! Going to test for my orange in a few weeks, yipes.

Leave for DC late next week.
