spacecrime has posted pictures of the Harry Potter party last month. See the cape wearing 'frobot herself, waiting to get her hot little hands on a certain blue tome! and there's a picture of darkling_dreams too!
Fantasy 'fro attacks!. Yep, that's me. The black one. ;)
Pretty friggin' blah day otherwise. High points includedsundart calling me at work to read me really funny passages from the several reams worth of letters we exchanged during the summers of 97 and 98. It may at last be time for me to revisit those letters, put the associated angst and horror of long ass separation behind me once and for all, and keep the parts that were especially funny, squishy, or . . . journal worthy, as I didn't keep one through college, much to my own displeasure.
Thinking of buying a big fat photo album and winnowing through that huge pile of pictures I came across yesterday. I could probably fill one or two of just Smith stuff. Probably not until the pedestrian log jam that is Downtown Girl Land during the Summerfest Sidewalk Sale.
Other high point - recieving large box, courtesy ofsundart's dad, of hardcover new fantasy novels, including the third Kushiel novel. Anyone who hasn't read those books, march out and do so before I break out the hot pokers and astroglide. They're by Jacqueline Carey, and the first two were fabulous (Kushiel's Dart and Kushiel's Chosen), and I expect nothing less from the third (Kushiel's Avatar). These are her first books too - it will be interesting to see how she follows them up.
And speaking of fairly new fantasy writers - wonder what Anne Bishop's been up to lately? Or Nalo Hopkinton? *sigh* must start . . . writing . . . again . . .
