yay fall is coming!

hmmm... what can i write about?

i'll start as usual with my current reading list update. i finished wuthering heights a few days ago. wasn't thrilled by it, but i'm glad i finally read it. if emily bronte had written any other novels, i probably wouldn't have run out and bought them. i plan on staying away from her poetry as well. i also finished gaimon's neverwhere, which i enjoyed. didn't completely wow me, but it was good enough to push me towards more of his work and make me want to see stardust. well... on video at least. ty got to hang out with the guy. i'm totally jealous.

started feist's rift war saga i few days ago. already on the volume II. loving it...possibly more than martin's song of ice and fire series, as much as matt protests against its being the superior read. i recommend this series adamantly for all fantasy nerds out there.

my dad's oldest biological brother harold is in town for a week, staying at the cottage. went to dinner with my parents and him a few days ago and brought matt along. then he came over for a bbq this evening. he's a cool guy...a lot like my dad. i have a new respect for his past and his recovery now that i'm older. man has had a tough life.

took matt, bridgett, and ken to sweet lorraine's on wednesday night. our tab came to $136.00. i love splurging on over priced delicacies when it's not my money. mmm...french onion steak tenderloin. they are coming over friday after work for a sleep over and/or hang out night, possibly accompanied by nikki and nantais. i also let amy and bores know, but amy has to work super early on tuesday and i have yet to hear back from christy. then on saturday or sunday we're finally going to hit the renn fest. my mom said she'd give me a bit of money to splurge and i'm excited. i know i'm going to want to buy everything. never been before and it should be good times. plus, my boyfriend is going to be wearing a kilt and knee highs...so how can that not be fun?
