I think that I've largely untangled the first two chapters of my Marvel Big Bang. Go me!

I think that I now have the two most complicated chapters up next to untangle. Boo.

The next time I do a Big Bang (because let's face it, this will happen) I'm going to write 10k words of fluff and silliness rather than 25k of complicated duplicate characters and random vampires. OK?

My office is exceedingly quiet due to the number of people who are sick or working from home. This is not good because I'm incredibly tired due to a 2am migraine and having a quiet office means that I'm mentally going, "So, it's fine if I just curl up under my desk and go to sleep, right? Nobody will notice."

Not the right attitude!

Ugh. Weekend was quiet and I enjoyed the quiet a lot. I'm even approaching a state of Nearly Finishing A Book, which has me quite excited. It's City of Bones by Cassandra Clare, which isn't as bad as I thought it would be.

OK, yes, not exactly a ringing endorsement here. It's not a work of great literature, but it is fun and compelling and I'm actually planning to read the rest of the series. Given that I read it to find out what all the fuss is about (Tumblr tends to be split between Avengers, Teen Wolf and The Mortal Instruments love and I got curious, save me from getting curious about Teen Wolf please) and I was half-expecting something along the lines of Twilight, "not as bad as I expected" is quite the compliment!

Anyway, yes, I shall be hunting down the other books in the series at the library.

Tomorrow I should be getting notifications of the dispatch of my Avengers Blu-ray and the newest Mercedes Lackey Valdemar book. Shock news: I'm actually more excited about the Avengers discs than I am about more Valdemar goodies. The apocalypse has arrived, people.

I agree that the Cassandra Clare ones weren't as bad as I expected. However, I read all but the last more or less back to back, then had to wait for the most recent one. While waiting, I read some Tamora Pierce, and also read some of the Graceling books by Kirstin Cashore. By the time the latest CC book came out, I was comparing it to some fresh-in-my-mind damn good YA stuff, and it came out lacking.*sigh*

You can doooooo eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! *\o/*

And NO. You're not doing this ever again. Yes, to the vampires. No, to the mirrorversing. I'll convince your cats to eat your keyboard if you try it again!

Dude. you wouldn't have to convince my cats. You'd just need to let them think they'll get away with it and they'll be right there, trying to work out how to do it.
