Stuffity stuffity stuff-stuff.
So, you know the Sookie Stackhouse books by Charlaine Harris, from which HBO's True Blood comes? I read the first one again, and it's much better now that I've seen the show. The first time I tried to read this, I don't think I caught the snarkiness. Now I get it though, and I've enjoyed re-reading the first book. Now I've got the second book, but I realize that it may give away some of the plot points of the second series of True Blood... and since I still like the show better, I'm going to hold off on reading any more of the books just yet.
Read Trick Or Treatment, by Simon Singh and Edzard Ernst. Read it front to back. Everyone needs to. I thought Chiropractors were just "back doctors". They so totally aren't.
Husband and I have been enjoying our bi-weekly boxes from the local CSA. So far they've mostly been lettuce, but as the summer progresses we'll be getting more things that I'm looking forward to, like zucchini and squash and cucumbers and tomatoes. Since I've learned I have no patience or talent for gardening myself, it's lovely to have fresh produce from someone who does.
On the fandom front, take a look at what Linzy's done to our home. It's looking quite snazzy!
And speaking of fandoms, Harry Potter 6 is out next week! I'm excited. I'm pretty sure I'm going to the midnight show, since I've got the Friday after that off. We'll see if I have anyone crazy enough to go with me or not.
And finally, this upcoming weekend I will be in Chicago for the American Library Association Annual convention. Neil Gaiman will be there, so I'll be getting my Graveyard Book signed, and will also attend the Newbery Award banquet to see him receive his award. Fun times!
