New old computer, Bradbury

Haven’t updated in a few days, so I feel obligated to. I’m on the new downstairs computer- it’s not as fast as the new one upstairs, but a lot faster (and generally better) than the old one we used to have down here. It doesn’t have Sylfaen, though- that’s my favorite font. *sniff*

I’ve been reading The Cicatrix Cyle. I’ve only read the first fic and the one shot that goes with the second, but they’re good so far. I was a bit disappointed with the end of Origins, though. It just kind of… stopped.

We have book club tomorrow- we’re discussing Ray Bradbury’s Something Wicked This Way Comes. I didn’t really like it- I hated his writing style. Very, very heavy on kind of pretentious description and lighter on plot. It like “look at me, I’m going to describe all these things in a strange, surreal way that will mesmerize you and give the book a spooky tone!” In reality, it was just annoying.

My aunt and uncle are visiting from California, which is cool. They’re at my house now.

And, more importantly (ok, not really), it’s my birthday on Thursday! Whee! In three days I’ll be able to legally get into any movie ever made.

No, it’s the first fic in the Cicatrix Cycle.
