Still mildly disgruntled, if for a different reason
I've been knitting so much the last few days that I got a little bored with it, so tonight I decided to do some reading instead. I've started Fast Food Nation again, but I really just wanted some fluff, so I dug out one of my pdf files...
The thing I love about romance novels is that they are never really titled aptly. This one, for example - the title references 3 vampire sisters, Rowan, Kestrel, and Jade. But they aren't really the focus of the book. The book is more focused on Mary-Lynette, who is a human and discovers that the girls are vampires and then ends up being soulmates with their brother Ash. It's one of my favorite Night World stories for a few reasons - Mary-Lynette is an awesome character. She loves books and wants to be an astronomer. And then, of course, her soulmate is a hard-partying badboy vampire who's done horrible things but will try to be better just for her. Who wouldn't love that? -smirk- But my favorite thing about her is that she thinks. She considers being a vampire, and she thinks she would love it, love seeing stars and living forever... But then she realizes that's not what she really wants, and she can't do it . It's nice to see a character in a universe that has made-vampires make that choice.
Despite that reading makes me happy, I'm still, as I said, mildly disgruntled. My computer refuses to load ravelry (perhaps in retaliation for last weekend), and several other pages. I can see any pictures on facebook, and my internet connection is crazy slow. sort of. I mean, it's slow with some things and fine with others and generally just all around frustrating. I'm dling some rars of my previously-uploaded books at the moment and it's going to take 4 hours to get 200 MB it says. No, I'm not using dialup. This is seriously ridiculous. Hopefully it will actually work and not do that annoying thing that this service tends to do where it just stops in the middle for no apparent reason. I'm not sure if the problem is with the internet or my computer, but I'm too lazy to take my computer to McDonald's to try it on the wireless at the moment. Tho I definitely could use some caffeine...
Now I'm not really sure what to do. I'm meeting Robin in Itaewon tomorrow for lunch at a new macaroni restaurant and then we're going to an SnB. I thought about reading another book but I'm kinda sleepy. Eating dinner could be an option too but I don't feel like it. -yawn- And since I have a four-day weekend I might as well sleep as much as I can...
