Life at the moment

Things are good and bad.

The good, I'm reading this wonderfully hilarious Stephenie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I just about died on book two. I didn't think I'd like these books because well it's not technically romane, sci-fi, or fantasy...however the character is charming and the dialogue kills me. So anyways, I'm on book 3 and apparently I have 11 more to go. This means that I'll probably be reading these for the next week or two more so than fan fiction.

So that's kind of the bad news fandomwise, I'm probably not going to recommend a lot of stuff in the upcoming days.

The other bad news is the EVIL One aka Grey.

has chewed yet ANOTHER Dell Inspiron 6000 AC power adapter cable. I just got a new one last year! So luckily a little bit of electric tape later I got it working again, and I've already ordered a new backup cable from the same place I got one last year. The good news on that is that it was 20 dollars cheaper this year than last.

Now me and my SO are going to get chinese and see a movie.

When I get back I plan on converting the rest of the Paul F. Wilson's Repairman Jack series into LRF files so I can read the two newest books that just came out. :) This is another series I can't recommend enough.

ETA: okay this was supposed to post before we went to the movies...so here's the update from the movie front. I have a BIG crush on Zachary Efron, loved him in 17Again, I laughed a lot of times and really enjoyed the movie.

...but it's such a CUTE evil one. *sigh*

One of my cats chews every adapter I have. I have to hide them all and cover them with clothes, which probably means my apartment will burn down soon.

So it's not just me! I was wondering what my power adapters ever did to her? I covered the slightly fixed one with an exercise mat and some heavy books...hopefully nothing catches fire.

I don't get it! I mean, I can see batting it, or pouncing on it, but CHEWING? Satan cat. And he's the only one that does it.

[amalthia]

I don't get it either, we have 2 cats and Tiger never chews on our stuff, it's just Grey. I have a water bottle and anytime she gets near my cables I spray her but it doesn't seem to help much.

Stephanie Plum is fun.

The thing to keep in mind is that they're basically a sitcom. There's never really going to be character growth. Which annoys me after a while, but I keep reading and enjoying anyway. And Finger Lickin' Fifteen will be out in June I think it is.

[amalthia]

okay the sitcom thing may get to me after awhile. But I can't deny these are incredibly funny.

The flip side is too much character change like the Laurel K Hamilton Anita Blake books.

The sitcom thing can get old when you're reading through the entire series at once. But once you're caught up, and you're just looking at a new book once or twice a year, then it's fine. They're far enough apart that it's not a problem.

And yes, much fun. :)

I may end up taking a break between each book. :)

What a cutie! Also we have the same laptop I think. XD

Thanks for the book recs, I'm always on the look out for fun books.

[amalthia]

I use my laptop for everything, I"m amazed it's still working to be honest. But really except for the cat chewing on the cable it's working rather well. :)

And she is a cutie pie, hence that's why she's still alive!
