Finally Friday!

So yay on that! :-)

Also yay on the fact that we're having a 5 1/2 hour work day today - which means that we can leave 2 hours early, for Good Friday. This is probably due to the fact that a lot of the companies we deal with are closed all day - or closing at noon. Whatever the case, I'll take it, because I like the idea of having a shorter work day.


I'm almost through reading the Lewis Black book - thankfully, it was a book that I could pick up and put down with no problems. Once I'm done with that book, I'll continue reading Watership Down, and the Orrin Devinsky book on epilepsy. Then, its onto Suze Orman's new book for the "Young, Fabulous & Broke" Generation.

Once I'm through those books, I want to get Anthony Swofford's Jarhead, and perhaps some of the books from my Amazon.com wish list. Just because I'm a big nerd, and I love to read - constantly.

I loved Watership Down. In fact, I was so in love with it when I read it as a young teen that I started writing a sequel to it (my first fan fiction?), but gave up when my mother told me I wasn't allowed to write my own sequel to someone else's work. Wait. No, that was Mrs. Frisby and the Rats of N.I.M.H.. I mean, I started to write sequels of both books, but it was N.I.M.H. first, and that's the one where my mother gave me the discouraging news about copyright law. She was quite the killjoy at times. Very supportive of the fact that I wanted to write, but always quick to point out various laws and rules and such.

(I also did write a short sequel to Firestarter in junior high, but that was for an English project so it doesn't count.)

Meawhile...my copy of Lewis Black's book arrived yesterday and I've made a solemn promise with myself not to even open it until I finish reading Incubus.

Good luck in keeping the promise to yourself to not read Lewis Black's book! :)

What I'd read of Watership Down, I really liked. Probably because I had a rabbit for a few years (Sid, the "Angry Black Man" Bunny) and it's kind of interesting to read a story written from the perspective of the rabbits.
