New Books, a Bowl and Spam
After getting some four hours of sleep, going to buy a few things and then putting another four hours into editing the last section I finished in my story, I certainly won’t be writing much here, but want to say that the reason why I woke up early was that the books I ordered over three weeks ago arrived this morning. I’m talking about Time of Contempt, Crucible of Gold, Silverthorn and A Darkness at Sethanon, these last two being picked instead of The Waterborn and The Blackgod.
I wanted those because I read and liked Greg Keyes’ other two original series, but was told after placing the order that they’re no longer in print, so at first, for no particular reason, I considered the Mistborn Trilogy, but eventually settled on those, since I already have the first two in the series, I’m currently playing Return to Krondor and they were cheap as well. The problem is that those first two were among the books I took when I was thrown back here and didn’t read during those first few months, so it’d definitely be hard to read them now and I don’t know what I’ll do in the end, but at least I have the next ones now as well, just in case.
After all those names and links, I’ll just add that I also bought a small bowl today, but it immediately proved to be a bad choice. Been looking at that particular kind ever since I accidentally dropped the one I was usually eating in and had to switch to another and today I finally grabbed one, but when I got back I noticed that the shape is very close to that of the one I’ve been using lately, so I pretty much spent some money for nothing, since what I wanted was obviously something very similar to the one that shattered. How did I keep believing that this one was what I was searching for, especially after carefully looking at it several times over these past months, I’ll never know.
Otherwise, the last part of the title refers to the fact that the amount of spam I’m seeing has increased so much that I’m not even glancing over it before deleting everything anymore. Used to do that, to make sure I wasn’t deleting anything that wasn’t spam, but now I’m getting in a few hours as much as I was seeing in an entire day, so if anyone just happens to post a comment that accidentally gets caught by Akismet, I apologize in advance.
