Dec. 22nd, 2005 08:12 amI managed to get up this morning/afternoon at 4, and stumbled around, slowly getting ready. Panicked when it was nearly 5 and I remembered the bookstore closes at 6. Whee.
But! I made it to the bookstore. Book haul!
Clay's Ark - Octavia Butler. Saw many of her books that looked interesting, may have to go back for more. Have to see what this one's like first.
Resurrection Man - Sean Stewart. Author of The Night Watch, one of favorites - and the dedication reads 'For a spider I killed in Texas once, and all my swallowed ghosts'. I twitched. And I have to read it. XD What is it about me, that I see fire and I automatically want to stick my hand in? :P
the Woman in the Dunes - Kobo Abe, translator E. Dale Saunders. Noticed it while heading to the science fiction books, and picked it up. Decided to keep it after I learned it was translated from Japanese. Mmm, translations. ^^
Komarr
Memory - both Lois McMaster Bujold For reading after I get to Mirror Dance. Shusu? I'm sorry about this, I hate to make you wait, but I don't think I should start Mirror Dance yet. I am waaay too fuzzy/dissconnected to enjoy it properly. It's not that I'm completely out of it, but... at best everything is fuzzy and at worst (forgetting medicene) everything is happening in the next state over. Or on tv. x.x No state to really enjoy anything except old favorites where the brain fills in things. Much less Miles, who sort of drags me along at warp-speeds and forces me to force myself to slow down lest I miss details.
Thought I had only been in there a few minutes when one of the employees told me they were closing in 5. >.> 4, 3, 2, 1 oh look it is dark outside. Wow. But yay books! And I went and got coffee, even though I'm beginning to suspect this was not the best idea - I didn't even want to drive feeling slightly woozy and unbelieveably thirsty. It felt like I hadn't seen water for a week. Putting myself on a liquids-and-jello diet until the cold is gone, I suspect I've been giving the little monster fuel.
On the other hand, I have managed to focus and be coherent. This is good, yes? If I weren't squinting at the computer and thinking-hard, like. XD Why am I still up.
...I think being sick and aware makes me more determined. Yup.
I'm still planning to go to work tonight, provided that I'm not a zombie upon waking up. But mostly plans for this week are: Go to work. Sleep. Drink much liquids. Maybe drive out to see Dad. Defintely drive out to see the sis and the munchkins, as Aunty-Santa has presents to deliver! :D
Right now, I shall stubbornly decorate my tree and take pictures. Maybe when I get up, I will have time/energy to post them before going forth to work. ...I am insane, is what my problem is. Least I'm a happy crazy-person
